    For some time, spam has been sent through the contact form. Despite having to check and confirm the privacy policy, spammer bots are able to send messages through a form that is vulnerable.

    We also implemented Google recaptcha and it also did not help. The problem must be on the side of the leaky form or the plug responsible for GDPR

    The contact form and GDPR are the default module of the Enfold template.

    The only question is what to do about it. We’re spammed with forms. Even the implementation of Google Recaptcha does not help. We receive spam as in a private message.

    Hi,
    Here is a idea to block the spambots, try using the Contact Form 7 plugin with the Contact Form 7 Honeypot when a spambot fills in a hidden field that valid users can’t see it verifies that the submitter is a spambot, and the form is rejected as spam.
    Spambots blindly fill in all fields, regardless of if the field should be filled in or not.

    Best regards,

    I am interested in solving the problem in the contact form that Enfold gives you. After all, this is a problem on the part of the creators of Enfold, which needs to be resolved.

    Another plugin is not an option. I want to solve the problem of the Enfold contact form.

    Hi,
    I thought the problem was that spambots are targeting your site and contact form?
    Google Recaptcha is not 100%, no captcha is, even a honeypot is not 100% but it should help.
    Unfortunately we don’t have this as an option in Enfold yet.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Google Recaptcha has been implemented according to the following advice:

    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/starting-to-receive-spam-enquiries-from-contact-form-on-website/#post-817676

    Nevertheless, spam still comes from the Enfold form.

    You can see that not only I have a problem with spam, which results from the Enfold contact form.

    Please, let me know if you’re working on a spam issue.

    Hi,
    Sorry, I wish I had better news for you, but the spam you are experiencing is not a result of the contact form, it’s a result of a spambot targeting your site. You could block these bots with many good plugins or you could check out these 6 Modern Solutions to Protect Web Forms from Spam these are also some good tips too

    Best regards,
