Good plugin. Brilliant support.
by jumzoid·2 months ago

I’ve been using the plugin for several months now and haven’t had any issues, other than maybe the entries logs don’t have as much detail as I’d like. Overall though, it think it’s a great system to consolidate a number of useful features like they have, with the settings in one place.
What took me up to 5 stars was the awesome support I got when I found a small frontend bug. The team were straight on it and sent me a beta plugin to test the fix within a day (which worked perfectly, I might add). With a dedicated team like that, I can see this plugin only getting better and better.

Used to be a nice, simple plugin

This used to be a nice and simple plugin. Now it’s rebranded to CF7 apps with banners, notifications, additional menu items, and pushing other plugins (which I don’t need or want).

Fabulous Support

Great support and follow up. Worked through an issue until it was resolved in a timely manner. Great plugin, highly recommend.

A Must-Have for Contact Form 7!
by Abdullah Ramzan·5 months ago

If you’re using Contact Form 7, you need this plugin. It quietly stops spam entries without any extra setup — works perfectly and saves tons of time.

Decent protection when used in conjunction with others
by Charles·5 months ago

Great, fast support from these guys when I mentioned a bug. I use the honeypot and the timecheck to help reduce botspam. Plus now it has form entries, I can delete a separate plugin I was using for that. I don’t use hCaptcha (using Turnstile instead), so can’t comment on that area.

I see a lot of people saying they still get spam, but I’d expect that if they are only using this plugin. This plugin is just one part of the puzzle. I get zero spam from my forms because I use the following.
