I did get it enabled and will cross fingers. Thrilled that I don't have to install another plugin! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/spam-options#post-10503 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:38:21 +0000 Carl Hancock 10503@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>None of the anti-spam plugins on WordPress.org work with Gravity Forms because they are designed to work with your WordPress comments, not forms. </p> <p>Another anti-spam option is available in the latest version of Gravity Forms. You can find it under the Advanced tab in the Form Settings for each individual form (edit a form, hover over the title/description and choose Edit and then the Advanced tab). It's called the Anti-Spam Honeypot. Check it to turn this feature on. See this screenshot (2nd to last checkbox):</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/6ByC" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/6ByC</a></p> <p>What this feature does is adds a hidden field to your form that tries to entice spam bots to fill out. If the field is filled out, the entry isn't saved.</p> <p>This will prevent human powered spam and a lot of people don't realize that a large percentage of spam isn't bots at all... it's actual people filling out the form and real people can defeat captcha, honeypots, etc. because it's not a bot.</p> <p>We do plan on releasing an Akismet integration add-on eventually. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/spam-options#post-10502 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:24:43 +0000 parisgirl 10502@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't want to use recaptcha because it's just not user friendly because the images are so hard to read. But I don't want spam.</p> <p>Is there any other way to block spam? I've heard good things about plugin wp-spamfree, and it looks like it gives a better 'are you human' test. Will it work with gravity? </p> <p>Are there other options? Thanks. </p>
