Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Gravity Forms Zero Spam

Yes, and every feature described above is included. You need a Gravity Forms license for Gravity Forms itself.

Only if you turn it on. Both AI tools are off by default and nothing leaves your site until you enable them. When you do, the plugin sends the form title, the page path, and the field labels, types, and submitted values, along with your instructions. Email addresses are masked so only the domain remains, fields you list under "Skip these fields" are removed, and the content is length-capped. The connection is made through WordPress 7.0's own AI connectors, so Zero Spam never stores your API keys.

Yes. Marking an entry as spam prevents processing of any configured notifications and add-on feeds. Note: a spam entry also skips your configured confirmation. The person submitting sees the default Gravity Forms "Thanks for contacting us! We will get in touch with you shortly." confirmation instead.

Yes. Run it next to Gravity Forms' reCAPTCHA feature or honeypot field, Akismet, CleanTalk, WPBruiser, GravityCaptcha, WP Armor, or fail2ban without conflict.

Gravity Forms 2.3 and newer. Two features need more recent versions: per-form control requires 2.5 or newer, and blocking a submission with an email rejection rule requires 2.9.15 or newer.

Open the form, click Settings, and toggle "Prevent spam using Gravity Forms Zero Spam" under Form Options. To protect most forms, leave the global "Enable Zero Spam by Default" setting Enabled and switch off the individual forms you want excluded. Note: setting "Enable Zero Spam by Default" to Disabled turns off the token check, AI spam review, and Shield silentCAPTCHA on every form, and per-form settings have no effect while it is. Email rejection rules are separate: they run whenever "Enable Email Rejection Rules" is on, whatever the other settings say.

Probably not. Zero Spam deliberately skips logged-in users who can edit entries, form previews, and entries created through the Gravity Forms API, so submitting your own form as an administrator is expected to go through. To test it properly, log out and submit with JavaScript disabled. See how Zero Spam works and how to test it.

First, deactivate and reactivate the plugin. If that does not fix it, see Troubleshooting Gravity Forms Zero Spam, then let us know on the support tab.

No, it only protects Gravity Forms submissions. For comments and registrations we recommend Ben Marshall's WordPress Zero Spam plugin.
