Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Gate House – Spam Protection & CAPTCHA

Yes. Automatic protection uses local honeypot, timing and signed-form checks. External Human checks require keys from the selected provider; Free itself needs no Gate House account.

No. Form verification helps reduce automated submissions; a passed check does not establish a buyer's identity or a genuine purchase. Pro adds specific abuse-pattern controls, not a universal fraud guarantee.

No. Fresh settings observe, and recommended setup leaves checkout unchanged. Enable the supported checkout checks after testing complete sandbox orders with your site's payment methods.

Free shows aggregate blocked-attempt totals. Configurable attempt limits, Light/Balanced/Strict presets and detailed local activity history are Pro features.

Yes. Native WordPress login, registration, password-reset and comment checks work independently of WooCommerce.

No. Discovery reports known form entry points and adapter coverage. Free protects its supported native WordPress and WooCommerce forms. Other form plugins need an implemented adapter; Contact Form 7 support is in Pro.

No. Free protection needs no Gate House license or account.

Back up the site. Update the complete legacy edition to 1.21.1, then install or update the standalone Gate House Pro add-on to 1.21.1 and activate it before migrating the base. Turn off Delete data on uninstall in the existing settings. Install and activate the branded Free package as gate-house-spam-protection-captcha/gate-house-spam-protection-captcha.php while keeping Pro active. The new base waits while the old base protects the site. On the Plugins page, use Switch to this installation in the new Gate House row after its compatibility checks pass. Verify your settings and real visitor journeys. Never uninstall the old base as a migration step; existing settings, keys, licensing and restrictions keep their original storage identifiers. A Free-only replacement would omit advanced protections.

Back up the site and, if you use Pro, update and activate Pro 1.21.1 first. Turn off Delete data on uninstall. Install and activate this package alongside the earlier gate-house/gate-house.php or gatehouse-spam-protection-captcha/gatehouse-spam-protection-captcha.php installation; the earlier installation continues protecting the site until you choose Switch to this installation on the Plugins page. Follow its compatibility checks, retain the inactive earlier folder and verify real visitor journeys. Never uninstall the earlier base as part of the switch.

It verifies a fresh provider challenge. It does not certify your theme, payment gateway or every form. Test your real visitor journeys separately.
