WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection
Over the past several weeks, my “contact me “form has been attacked by spammers. As I was writing yesterday, my email notifier kept bonging at me whenever these bots would send me their crap. I finally got sick of it and looked on the WordPress Plugin site, where I found the plugin below. It requires users to answer a simple question before hitting Send. That should take care of these intrusions, I hope.

I hope so, too!

It’s working so far, Doug.
Thank you very much!

I’ve had lots of problems, but not the one you’ve described…yet. However, if I do I’ll be back to follow that link, Deborah.
Thanks for sharing.

Anytime.

After numerous problems on my site, and the breaking on my contact form (amongst other things), I’m going to install this plugin when I get back to normal - instead of the one I’m using now.
Again, thanks for the tip.

You’re welcome, Karen. So far, I haven’t had a single spam hit since I installed this plugin.
