Disable Trackbacks
When it comes to spam and pingbacks/trackbacks, the vast majority by far is via trackbacks rather than pingbacks. Very, very few people use trackbacks for legitimate uses anymore (I’ve gotten less than 5 in the last 8 months) as WordPress, etc. all use pingbacks now as their primary ping method. I had already installed Cookies For Comments which successfully stops most spam comments but I still had to deal with the tons of trackback spam. So, I wrote this plugin. It will disable new trackbacks across your site, both legitimate and spam. However since very few people use trackbacks legitimately, this combined with Cookies For Comments should cut your spam down to next to zero. Why should I use this plugin over one of those trackback validator plugins? Most non-Akismet style anti-trackback spam plugins work by connecting to the URL that sent the trackback and looking for a link to your blog. The problem with this is that many spammers actually post links to your blog in their spam posts rendering those types of plugins useless. Even those that check the IP address to make sure it matches are beaten by spam blogs (aka splogs). In the end it’s up to you what to use for anti-spam, but I personally use Cookies For Comments, this plugin, and then Akismet to catch anything that makes it through.
Honeypot Anti Spam for Forminator Forms
Don’t work? Open ticket, we answer in max 48h. In order to function correctly, the user’s browser must have Javascript enabled! I’m try a new solution for a better honeypot for Forminator Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder. Spam protection, anti-spam for Forminator Forms. You only have to activate the plugin to make it work on all forms. Plugin add a new field (with js) on your forms and check if it exists or it is valorized. To change the name of the honeypot input you will find a settings page under the WordPress tools menu.
