We are using the default contact form on our website and always had captcha enabled on this form from the beginning.
Have received 5 spam enquiries this weekend, all appear to be from Russia (!) am concerned, we will soon become unindated with these.
Is there anyway to stop this please ?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for that. Could you try updating the theme to the latest version (4.0.7) to see if that helps please? http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/

@Rikard,
I have been experiencing the same problem for over a month now. I have the latest version of Enfold, but it just keeps getting worse!
Please add Google reCapthca to the next update!

Hi,

Please create a recaptcha API key pair (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin) then add this code in the functions.php file:

EDITED: The script is no longer valid. Use the recaptcha plugin instead: https://github.com/KriesiMedia/enfold-library/tree/master/integration%20plugins/Enfold/Enfold%20G%20Recaptcha/enfold-recaptcha

Replace the “YOUR PUBLIC API KEY” with your Site Key.

Best regards,
Ismael

@JPOsteen
Have you done the above to see if that fixes the issue?

Hey!

@topsignshexham: Please note that the script will disable the submit button and render the recaptcha widget. Users will be able to click the submit button once the recaptcha widget is authenticated.

Cheers!
