Thanks for the prompt reply. (BTW, I really like your plugin. This is the 2nd one I've purchased from you guys.)</p> <p>Anyway, In my form, within Form Settings &gt; Advanced is the option"Enable anti-spam honeypot". I checked that option. And, I see no difference on my Contact Us view: <a href="http://jwchinstitute.org/about-us/contact-us/" rel="nofollow">http://jwchinstitute.org/about-us/contact-us/</a> </p> <p>Also, is there a form option to re-confirm the email address. And, a clear form button? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/honeypot-instead-of-recaptcha#post-61742 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:18:18 +0000 Rob Harrell 61742@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@laptophobo - can you describe what you are needing in more detail and provide a link to your form? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/honeypot-instead-of-recaptcha#post-61729 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 03:51:16 +0000 laptophobo 61729@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I selected the Honey Post option, but when I view I still the the CAPTCH version. Do I need to download an additional plugin or something? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/honeypot-instead-of-recaptcha#post-9576 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:45:22 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 9576@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Version 1.4 was released earlier today and it includes the honeypot option. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/honeypot-instead-of-recaptcha#post-9573 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:45:25 +0000 Joe 9573@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I like the idea of a honey pot field, I think it is less easy for bots to figure it out </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/honeypot-instead-of-recaptcha#post-9509 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:38:05 +0000 Carl Hancock 9509@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What you described is not a honey pot field, it's a match captcha field. A honey pot field is a hidden field that tricks a spam bot into filling it out when it should really be left blank.</p> <p>Both a honey pot field and a math captcha field are available in the 1.4 beta release. The honey pot option appears in the Advanced form settings.</p> <p>The match captcha field in the 1.4 release requires the Really Simply Captcha plugin be activated in order for it to appear as an option on the Captcha field. </p>
