Solution efficace !
Universal Honey Pot, c’est le ninja invisible qui protège les formulaires WordPress ! Installation simple, pas de configuration, la belle vie ! Efficace ? Oui, pour l'instant. On verra sur la durée. Gardez le rythme pour les mises à jour. Bye bye Google ReCAPTCHA ! (utilisé avec Contact Form 7).
