I just need to turn off the spam option from the forms. Do you by any chance have a filter or something that I can use to prevent Gravity forms from hooking into Akismet? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-stop-gravity-forms-spam-filter#post-101626 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:06:21 +0000 David Peralty 101626@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms doesn't have a spam filter. Gravity Forms does hook into things like Akismet and whatnot, so if you are having false positives, please try turning off Akismet for a period to see if it is what is causing that issue. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-stop-gravity-forms-spam-filter#post-101621 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:01:10 +0000 syedbalkhi 101621@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Guys,</p> <p>Every now and again, an entry would be marked as SPAM by gravity forms. This means that the notification never gets sent out. Is it possible to turn off the Gravity Forms spam filter? </p> <p>Because I think GMAIL takes care of marking things as SPAM on its own. I rely on GF to send me everything that comes through, and I rely on GMAIL to mark things as SPAM if it is spam. From what I note, GF filter hasn't caught any spam on the site. It has only caught a proportion of good stuff. If I don't get notification in my GMAIL, and the user has to wait 2 days to send another query... this makes us look bad.</p> <p>Any way to turn this feature off? </p>
