<p>You already know <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/give/" rel="ugc">GiveWP</a> is one of the highest rated, most downloaded, and best supported donation plugins for WordPress — so do spammers and credit card thieves. That’s why we created reCAPTCHA for Give.</p>
<p>Donation forms are a favorite target for spam bots and fraudsters looking to test stolen credit card numbers. It can become a serious issue, affecting site performance & lead to your payment gateway suspending or even closing your account. That’s where <a href="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google’s reCAPTCHA</a> comes in.</p>
<h4>How reCAPTCHA works</h4>
<p>reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine & adaptive challenges to keep malicious software from engaging in abusive activities on your site. Meanwhile, legitimate users will be able to login, make purchases, view pages, or create accounts and fake users will be blocked.</p>

<h4>reCAPTCHA may not be the best option</h4>
<p>reCAPTCHA may not be the best option for some sites. It could slow down the donation experience, look unsightly and may harm your donations more than benefit them. Luckily there’s a great alternative to reCAPTCHA that supports GiveWP donation forms, <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/zero-spam/" rel="ugc">WordPress Zero Spam</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re still receiving high amounts of spam and fraudulent transactions, reCAPTCHA is a great option as your last line of defense.</p>

<p>A simplified, restored, and preserved version of the original Stop Spammers plugin.</p>
<p>🥪 <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/webguyio" rel="nofollow ugc">Buy Me a Sandwich</a></p>
<p>Development for Stop Spammers has slowed down; I recommend switching to <a href="https://damspam.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Dam Spam</a>.</p>
<p>🧐 <a href="https://github.com/webguyio/dam-spam/issues/8" rel="nofollow ugc">Why, What Happened?</a></p>
<p>However, rest-assured that if you can’t migrate to Dam Spam, I’ll still continue making sure that Stop Spammers is safe, stable, and supported.</p>

Stop Spammers Classic


Canning a response to contact you externally is no way to keep a plugin alive.



Hopefully more people realize this.
