Custom Captcha Field for Fluent Forms

Adds a “Custom Captcha” field to the Fluent Forms editor with three challenge types: Image captcha — a 6-character code rendered as an image, with customizable text color and a transparent background by default so it blends with any form design Math captcha — a simple arithmetic question rendered as an image Question and answer — you define the question (field label) and the expected answer Challenges are single-use and expire after 15 minutes. Answers are stored server-side via WordPress transients — nothing is exposed to the browser except the image itself. Visitors get a refresh button to request a new challenge, and the captcha automatically renews after each AJAX submission, so it also works on cached pages. On top of the captcha you get two extra spam defenses: Time-trap (optional, off by default) — submissions completed faster than a human possibly could are rejected via an HMAC-signed timestamp; enable it and set the minimum submit time per field Disposable email blocking (optional, on by default) — rejects submissions where an email field uses a temporary/disposable email domain like mailinator.com or yopmail.com; extend the list with the ffc_captcha_blocked_email_domains filter Everything runs on your own server: no external captcha service, no API keys, no cookies, no visitor data sent anywhere. Requirements Fluent Forms is required. The PHP GD extension is recommended for image rendering (with a plain-text fallback when unavailable). How To Use Activate the plugin Edit a form in Fluent Forms — a new “Custom Captcha” field appears in the editor Drop it into your form and pick the captcha type in the field settings Optionally set the text color, background color (RGB values like “68, 68, 68”, or “transparent”) and error message

MP Spam Be Gone

MP Spam Be Gone is the simplest, most effective Spam blocker without difficult CAPTCHA responses needed by the user. This plugin was inspired by some of the best Anti-Spam plugins available on WordPress. Inspirations: Spam Free WordPress by Todd Lahman, LLC Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin by Andy Bailey Simple Trackback Validation with Topsy Blocker by Tobias Koelligan This plugin has aspects from all of the above mentioned plugins to form the most complete and dead simple Anti Spam plugin on WordPress. This plugin doesn’t write anything to your database while preventing comment spam and trackback spam. From Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin, I used the concept of having a checkbox display to the user in order to prevent automated Spam. To me this is the best way (and least intrusive) to completely prevent automated spam from ever even being written to the database in the spam que. It is physically impossible to get a false positive, since you either checked the button or not. The flaw with this plugin is that it does not work with Javascript disabled. To combat that flaw, I use the copy and paste password fields from the Spam Free WordPress plugin. These fields are in a tag, and only appear if Javascript is disabled. Unlike, the Spam Free WordPress plugin, these passwords are generated on the fly and never stored in the database. These plugins primarily stop comment spam. In order to stop trackback spam, I added the IP address check, URL check, and Topsy check functions from Simple Trackback Validation with Topsy Blocker. If a trackback is identified as spam because of the IP address or Topsy, it is deleted and never written to the database. If a trackback is identified as spam because of the URL, it is marked as spam and sent to the Spam que. The reason that these are not automatically deleted, is because it is possible that the referring page is using a shortlink and therefore the full URL would not appear on the page in the first place. When combined, this plugin will stop all automated spam and trackbacks. It is intended to replace the above plugins. You can’t find a plugin simpler than this – set it and forget it. No options = no modifications to the database.

Custom Captcha Field for Fluent Forms typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews).
