  • Works flawlessly with WPForms

    I was a bit annoyed by continuous spam on a website with important traffic. The plugin is plug and play and use existing features of WP, which is good to avoid a bloated WP install. I don't know why this plugin isn't more used, as it works perfectly and easily.

  • no more NINJA FORMS canada pharmacy spam emails!!!!!

    My website has been smashed (thousands of submissions) for the last few days with "Canada Pharmacy" SPAM on a ninja form contact us form. Its been an ongoing problem for months and somehow they have gotten around reCaptcha and honey pots and any other thing I can throw in their way. I have spent countless hours deleting emails and stored records. I gave up and just turned off the form. This plugin has saved me! Ninja forms has some security problems, mainly allowing reCaptcha to be bypassed and all form validation is done client side. This plugin is a quick and simple solution to unwanted submissions using the existing WP spam filters.
