Ban Subdomain
A lot of registration spam comes from emails with a subdomain. Spammers control a domain such as buymyjunk.com and then attempt to register on your site with emails such as irenemwd@foster2.buymyjunk.com and jakemgm@foster7.buymyjunk.com. This plugin simply blocks all registrations using a subdomain. Reputable users will have a normal email address from a reasonable domain like @gmail.com, @mylegitbusiness.com, @outlook.com, @myschool.edu, etc. There is no configuration and no setup. It simply just works. The plugin logs all blocked registrations so you can find potential false-positives. Find a link to this log file on the Plugins page where you activate/deactivate this plugin.
Honeypot Anti-Spam
Honeypot Anti-Spam stops comment spam in WordPress using the honeypot technique – with no captcha, no puzzles and nothing for your visitors to solve. Spam bots automatically fill in a hidden field that real visitors never see. The moment they do, the comment is flagged as spam. The result: cleaner comments, zero friction for genuine users and no annoying CAPTCHA. Why Honeypot Anti-Spam? No captcha – completely invisible to visitors, nothing to type or click. Zero configuration – install, activate, done. There are no settings to touch. Lightweight and fast – a tiny script with no bloat and no impact on page speed. Privacy friendly – no external services, no tracking, no data leaves your site. Native WordPress comments – works out of the box with the standard comment form. How the honeypot technique works The honeypot antispam technique adds a hidden field to your comment form via JavaScript. A legitimate visitor never sees this field and therefore never fills it in. Spam bots, however, detect it and fill it in, so the comment or submission is immediately classified as spam. Honeypot Anti-Spam has NO options and NO configuration. To get it working you only have to install and activate it. Nothing else. More information and support Bundled by default with Raiola Networks WordPress hosting service.
