I don't like Spam!

Use the Comment Blocklist feature to protect your contact form.

Compatibility

This plugin is compatible with Gutenberg Form block (experimental!), Ninja Forms, WPForms and Contact Form Block.

Features

• Not reinventing the wheel since WordPress already has a Comment Blocklist feature.
• Privacy by Design by using a local blocklist.
• No external API.

Setup

• Login to the dashboard and open Settings > Discussion.
• Scroll down to Disallowed Comment Keys.
• Enter some bad words, phrases or weblinks that keep bugging you. Choose your blocklist wisely!
• Contact forms that contain any of these words cannot be submitted anymore and will show an error message.
• Optional: Modify the error message output in the Theme Customizer.

Fun fact

Spam emails are usually very annoying and affect work – and there is nothing funny about it. But did you know that the term Spam, referring to junk mail, was named after a famous Monty Python sketch?
