Maelezo
Use the Comment Blocklist feature to protect your contact form.
Compatibility
This plugin is compatible with Ninja Forms and WPForms.
Features
- Not reinventing the wheel since WordPress already has a Comment Blocklist feature.
- Privacy by Design by using a local blocklist.
- No external API.
Setup
- Login to the dashboard and open Settings > Discussion.
- Scroll down to Disallowed Comment Keys.
- Enter some bad words, phrases or weblinks that keep bugging you. Choose your blocklist wisely!
- Contact forms that contain any of these words cannot be submitted anymore and will show an error message.
- Optional: Modify the error message output in the Theme Customizer.
Fun fact
Spam emails are usually very annoying and affect work – and there is nothing funny about it. But did you know that the term Spam, referring to junk mail, was named after a famous Monty Python sketch?
