Anti-spam, Spam protection, ReCaptcha for all forms and GDPR-compliant


Blocked hundreds of spam WooCommerce orders, and the plugin continues to be actively monitored and improved. I'm sure it will continue to get even better. Great work.


Excellent


The developer is really motivated to get this plugin going. Nice guy.



And the plugin helps catching spam without violating GDPR. Great for german or EU-sites.



Thanks a lot for this plugin.


Works like a charm and great developer-support

Anti-spam - CAPTCHA that protects all forms against spam and brute-force. Invisible and GDPR-compliant.

This integration lets you map and display your custom ACF fields directly inside CF7 without any extra plugins or coding. Just enable the feature, select your ACF fields, and your form is ready to use.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong><br />
The best thing is that both features work independently. You can run them alone or together based on your site’s needs.</p>

CF7 Apps – Honeypot, Database, Redirection, Webhook, and Addons 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
