That worked like a charm.
I used only few lines in my ready made web post form - honeypot field and check
And few lines in html part.
Now will look how many will overcome.
But these spambots are crazy - as soon as I put website online, I got one spam per 2 min. Disaster.
Thanks to you for code!
Hello all,
I am also struggling with spam and looking for a way to get this problem under control.
I have a question about the code, is this exactly as specified above inserted on the same page as text or is this inserted under Contact form 7 (additional settings).
do I need to customize the code other than the placeholder texts?
Sorry for my simple questions.
Thanks in advance :)
These are good tips. Can anyone suggest if its a good idea to use a form backend service to stop form spam?
Thanks for the response. I
