Upgraded a clients site from 4.9 to 5.1.2 this past Friday evening.
Immediately they started getting just massive quantities of Spam from the Contact us form on their Contact Us page.
It uses the Classic Editor / Advanced Layout Builder form builder.
It has the “Enable Enfold Numeric Captcha” active.
This has worked great for years, but it appears the Captcha equation is not being looked at now and the spam-bots are flowing right past it.
Anything I can look at that may need to be set differently for them ?
Thank you
I should add, this is on WP 6.0.2 and PHP 8.0.21 (which are the same it was on before the enfold update)
Hi rstrumbel,
Thanks for posting that information, we haven’t heard of a similar case yet, and regarding numeric captcha, it hasn’t been changed.
Can you try to use google reCaptcha? and see if it helps.
Best regards,
Nikko
