Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SolverGuard Spam Shield — Anti-Spam, Bot & Login Protection

Yes. All six Contact Form 7 protection layers are applied globally to every CF7 form on your site without any per-form configuration. Simply activate the plugin and your forms are protected.

No. The CF7-specific modules (Honeypot, Time Check, Rate Limiter, Keyword Filter, reCAPTCHA) only activate if CF7 is detected. All other modules — bot protection, login protection, registration protection, comment protection, XML-RPC hardening, and security headers — work independently of CF7.

No. The plugin is designed with performance in mind. Bot protection and security checks run before WordPress loads heavy resources, so blocked requests are terminated early. Spam checks are lightweight transient-based lookups. Real visitors on your site will experience no measurable performance impact.

Go to the Google reCAPTCHA admin console. Register a new site with reCAPTCHA v3. Copy your Site Key and Secret Key into the plugin settings under the reCAPTCHA tab. Enable reCAPTCHA v3 and set your score threshold (Google recommends 0.5).

You can block CIDR IP ranges in the IP Blocker tab, which covers known regional IP ranges. For granular country-level blocking, combine this with a Cloudflare firewall rule or similar CDN-based geo-blocking service.

Yes. Login rate limiting hooks into WordPress core's authentication system, so it works with any login form that uses the standard WordPress authentication, including WooCommerce My Account, BuddyPress, bbPress, and most membership plugins.

Author enumeration is a reconnaissance technique where an attacker visits yoursite.com/?author=1, ?author=2, etc. to discover the usernames of all WordPress users. Once an attacker has your username, they only need to guess the password. Blocking author enumeration is an important first line of defense against targeted brute-force attacks.

It depends on whether you use any tools that rely on XML-RPC (such as older mobile apps, certain desktop publishing tools, or Jetpack). If you are unsure, use the "Disable only pingback" option instead of the full disable — this stops the most common XML-RPC abuse (DDoS pingback amplification) while leaving legitimate XML-RPC functionality intact.

You can ensure your own IP is not listed in the IP Blocker. The login rate limiter skips logged-in administrators. If you are ever locked out, you can disable the login rate limiter by deactivating the plugin temporarily via FTP or your hosting file manager.

The plugin functions on multisite installations. Network-wide activation applies settings on a per-site basis.
