Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Block Comment Spam Bots
Yep. We've tested it on a site that was getting 20-40 spam comments a day. We installed and activated the plugin, and the spam comments stopped immediately. And just like that battery rabbit, it's still going strong, blocking comment spam. The plugin will work the same on your site - no more comment spam!
The comment form will look as it always did. No additional visible fields. No reCaptchas. No silly questions. Only the spambots will notice the difference - and we don't care about them.
Nope. Just an information screen about how it works, including an easy way to test blocking automated comment spam.
The plgin makes no changes to the visual or operational comment form. It just adds a hidden field with a unique value, then checks for that field on submit. It delays showing the Submit button. And it changes field names and values to block automated 'scrapers'. Plus it blocks direct posting to the comment processing code.
This plugin doesn't affect Contact forms; it just works on comments. But we have a solution for Contact forms - see our https://www.FormSpammerTrap.com (FST) site. It works on WordPress and other sites. Takes a small bit of customization for your WP theme, but full instructions and examples are included. And it is quite easy to customize your contact form. An example of a customized contact form is on the FST site. (We will implement the Contact form customization on your site for a small fee.) And, like this plugin, it's entirely free.
This plugin which takes care of comment spam, plus the FormSpammerTrap code you can easily add to your site for Contact forms. You're welcome!
