FV Antispam
FV Antispam is a powerful and simple antispam plugin. FV Antispam moves any spambot (machine written) comments directly to the trash and allows Akismet to just deal with human spam. What makes FV Antispam better than any other solution is the very low CPU load. FV Antispam will not burden your hosting or slow down your server. Other effective antispam plugins may get your hosting cancelled. Really. It happened to us, that’s why we wrote FV Antispam. The Problem Our studies on our own sites have shown that for every 50 human spam comments a popular weblog will have up to 10,000 machine generated spam. With FV Antispam, Akismet finally becomes a usefull tool again allowing you to browse your spam folder and pull out any Akismet false positives. If you use just Akismet, bots fill your whole spam folder with thousands of comments. It’s nearly an impossible task to browse through hundreds or thousands of comments to find one or two false positives. Why choose FV AntiSpam? Dead simple. Just install, turn on and go. FV Antispam doesn’t need configuration. No redundant and dangerous options or cryptic choices. Effective. Reliable. Zero false positives. Virtually no CPU server load. Works with the most powerful WordPress form processor – Filled In. Utilizes Akismet for it as well if installed. Allows you to enter custom questions for extra protection. How does FV AntiSpam work so well? No detectable signature for spam bots Blacklisted comments are put into trash The spam is moved directly to trash Spam pings and trackbacks are moved directly into trash if detected by Akismet Works hand in hand with Akismet, not trying to replace the collective system but supplement it. Stops only the machine spam Doesn’t stop human spam which Akismet will move to spam folder. Keeps the spam folder almost empty so you can quickly go through the spam folder to rescue any Akismet false positives. This is impossible without FV Antispam as the spam folder of any popular site would have thousands of bot posted spam every week or even every day. Support and more information
Send E-mail
Add a contact form to any post or page by inserting [contact-form] in the post. Messages will be sent to the post’s author or any email address you choose. Or add a contact form to a text widget. Messages will be sent to the email address set in your Settings -> General admin panel or any email address you choose. Your email address is never shown, and the sender never learns it (unless you reply to the email). As seen on WordPress.com. This plugin was imported from Grunion Contact Form but it adds full internationalization using localized string from WordPress core. An e-mail signature block was appended to the end of the e-mail message containing the sender’s name, email address, website and IP and delimited from the body of the message by a single line consisting of exactly two hyphens, followed by a space, followed by the end of line (“– \n”). This signature cut line allows software to automatically mark or remove the sig block. Configuration The [contact-form] shortcode has the following parameters: to: A comma separated list of email addresses to which the messages will be sent. If you leave this blank: contact forms in posts and pages will send messages to the post or page’s author; and contact forms in text widgets will send messages to the email address set in Settings -> General. Example: [contact-form to="you@me.com"] Example: [contact-form to="you@me.com,me@you.com,us@them.com"] subject: The e-mail subject of the message defaults to [{Blog Title}] {Sidebar} for text widgets and [{Blog Title}] {Post Title} for posts and pages. Set your own default with the subject option. Example: [contact-form subject="My Contact Form"] show_subject: You can allow the user to edit the subject by showing a new field on the form. The field will be populated with the default subject or the subject you have set with the previous option. Example: [contact-form subject="My Contact Form" show_subject="yes"] License Send E-mail Copyright (C) 2011 Paolo Melchiorre This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
