Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Stop Spammers Classic
Yes. But, you may need to restore visitor IPs.
Yes. The two can compliment each other. However, if you have only a small amount of hosting resources (mainly memory) or aren't even allowing registration on your website, using both might be overkill.
Yes. But, in some configurations, you may need to go to Stop Spammers > Protection Options > Toggle on the option for "Only Use the Plugin for Standard WordPress Forms" > Save if you're running into any issues.
Yes. Stop Spammers can even check Akismet for an extra layer of protection.
Yes and no. You can use all Jetpack features except for Jetpack Protect, as it conflicts with Stop Spammers.
Under Protection Options, toggle off the "Check Credentials on All Login Attempts" option and try again.
Yes. Under most circumstances. Stop Spammers itself does not attempt to collect any PII, and collects only the minimum data needed for anti-spam control. However, enabling third-party protections introduces new data collection on external servers that could break GDPR. See the next FAQ.
There are several optional services you may use that involve sending data to third parties including: Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, 2Captcha, Spamhaus, Stop Forum Spam, Project Honeypot, and BotScout. You may wish to read each services' privacy policy to see if you're comfortable using them, but generally speaking, whenever someone for example tries to use a contact form on your website, their IP address, name, and email may be sent to these services to check against spam blocklists.
