The plugin is built to keep stuff simple. If you need a complex web form or if you need a form builder, please use one of the form plugins you can find in the WordPress repository. To use the “Block countries” feature we use the IP to Country API from Country.is. They offer a free service and you don’t need an API key.

🌟 Save and Manage CF7 Form Submissions 
The Entries Database App stores all Contact Form 7 submissions directly to your WordPress database. Easily filter entries by form or date, view individual CF7 submissions, and export or delete them when needed. This ensures you never lose important leads or messages, even if emails fail to deliver.
🌟 Add a Honeypot Field to Prevent Spam
Our Honeypot Contact Form 7 extension creates a hidden field inside your Contact Form 7 forms. Real users never see it, but bots do—and that’s how the bots fall for the trap. It blocks automated spam before it even hits your inbox.
🌟 Add hCaptcha to Contact Form 7
Protect your forms from spam bots using hCaptcha, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google reCAPTCHA. This extension integrates directly with CF7 and works instantly after setup. No coding is required, and no extra plugins are needed. Just set up your site keys and you’re done.
NOTE: 
The best thing is that both features work independently. You can run them alone or together based on your site’s needs.

CF7 Apps – [Honeypot and hCAPTCHA for Contact Form 7]

Its not working. I did everything i can on the youtube every possible solution but its not working still sending.

Hi I think i found out that your plugin has a conflict to my https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiline-files-for-contact-form-7/ if this is activated.

its not working

didn't help to prevent attacker sending spam a lot.
just not sending the form when honeypot is filled is too much of information for an attacker.

Lots of Spam


It worked better before, now the attackers go past it and there is a lot of spam.


Before it was better


This used to be a simple, free, honeypot plugin for CF7It has been taken over and now it is a useless piece of bloatware.


I feel betrayed


I've been using this plugin for several years and even published a tutorial in French (Comment configurer Honeypot for Contact Form 7) on my own website to help people set it up right.



I really liked the way it was lightweight, efficient, and non-invasive. What a pity to discover in an update: yet another totally useless dashboard.



I understand the need for upsells to fund the development process, I really do. But it pisses me off to see this enshitification something that was high-quality before.



It really makes people want to fork the plugin to clean it up.



Please bring us back the quality plugin you made, and stop with the useless option pages for pity's sake.


yet another totally useless dashboard
