Concise Studio

<h4>Algorithm</h4>
<ol>
<li>Plugin generates token on the backend side.</li>
<li>Plugin adds hidden field for token in each form which will use method “POST” after rendering of the page.</li>
<li>Plugin inserts token in the field after user’s interaction with site.</li>
</ol>
<h4>For developers</h4>
<p>Antispam will automatically check submissions of the regular forms but ignores all AJAX requests.<br />
If you want to change this behaviour, you can use filter <code>concise_antispam_need_to_validate_token</code>.<br />
See example:</p>
<p><em>Disable Antispam for some forms:</em></p>
<pre><code>add_filter("concise_antispam_need_to_validate_token", function($needToValidateToken) {
    if (!empty($_POST['do-not-check-antispam-token'])) {
        $needToValidateToken = false;
    }

    return $needToValidateToken;
});
</code></pre>
<p>You can also always manually call <code>\Concise\Antispam::validateTokenOrDie()</code> in your custom handler.</p>
<h3>Formidable Forms integration</h3>
<p>For proper work disable the honeypot checking in the forms</p>

Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection

Nice

Great Plugin

Does the job

It's really good


There are many better ways to handle spam than this garbage. Indeed i with the false positive rate this plugin has it is worse than nothing


Worst antispam plugin


Akismet has been with me since I've been on WordPress and really doesn't miss when compared to other solutions. Keep up the great work!


Doesn't miss a shot


Works very well for basic users so they do not have to buy a paid one just to protect a small site.
