Hey @optimalprime – We’re sorry to hear that you’ve encountered spam issues.
If you’re still having spam with reCAPTCHA enabled, you can consider increasing the security level of the reCAPTCHA integration on your site.
For v2 reCAPTCHA, you can do this by going to your reCAPTCHA account. Then in the settings of your current integration, you can adjust the Security Preference slider.
And if you’d prefer not to use reCAPTCHA, we have another anti-spam protection feature, hCaptcha. This is a good option if you’d prefer not to sign up for Google’s reCAPTCHA service. Within your forms, hCaptcha will display a checkbox asking users to prove they’re human (much like Google’s v2 Checkbox reCAPTCHA). We have a detailed guide for setting up hCaptcha.
Another option you might want to consider is setting up the Akismet anti-spam protection. This option will allow you to integrate Akismet which is one of the top anti-spam protection plugins on ww.wp.xz.cn to your forms. You should be able to seamlessly set this up by following the instructions here.
Alternatively, you can consider the third-party plugins such as WordPress Zero Spam or Spam protection, AntiSpam, FireWall by CleanTalk which work out of the box to protect your forms against spam.
Hope this helps!
Prashant & Denis,
Thank you very much for both suggestions. I set the security to modest and so far it seemed to have done the trick. If it doesnt i will try one of your suggestions. Thank you for helping and sorry for my late response.
Hey @optimalprime – Happy to hear that 🙂 For now I’m going to close this ticket, but if you have any questions, please feel free to reachout.
Kindly,
