I don't like Spam!

Use the Comment Blocklist feature to protect your contact form. Compatibility This plugin is compatible with Gutenberg Form block (experimental!), Ninja Forms, WPForms and Contact Form Block. Features Not reinventing the wheel since WordPress already has a Comment Blocklist feature. Privacy by Design by using a local blocklist. No external API. Setup Login to the dashboard and open Settings > Discussion. Scroll down to Disallowed Comment Keys. Enter some bad words, phrases or weblinks that keep bugging you. Choose your blocklist wisely! Contact forms that contain any of these words cannot be submitted anymore and will show an error message. Optional: Modify the error message output in the Theme Customizer. Fun fact Spam emails are usually very annoying and affect work – and there is nothing funny about it. But did you know that the term Spam, referring to junk mail, was named after a famous Monty Python sketch? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(Monty_Python) Contribution? The Plugin development can be followed via GitHub <3 Let us know if we should add another Contact form plugin We are happy to receive feature suggestions and pull requests: https://github.com/them-es/i-dont-like-spam More information https://them.es/plugins/i-dont-like-spam

Pixeline's

This plugin provides an unobtrusive yet efficient protection against email harvesters / spambots. Post/page authors may write email addresses in their article in the usual format (“[email protected]”) without exposing them to spam email harvesters. The plugin takes care of the obfuscation, implementing a graceful degradation technique focusing on usability so as to protect your email addresses from harvesters while keeping them usable to your human visitors. The plugin replaces any email address found in posts, pages, comments and excerpts, and replace them by a bit of html markup that should deceive most email harvesters: john(replace the parenthesis by @)doe.com . If javascript is available, it will display a clickable link and display the original email to the human user. Maximum usability, maximum protection. Please rate the plugin if you like it. Usage Write your email addresses inside your posts and pages as usual. When the plugin is activated, it will replace them by a human-readable html string that explains how to deduce the email address, and if javascript is available (99.9% of the time), the original email address will be displayed as a clickable mailto: link. For example: Hello [email protected]. How are you today? will become John( replace these parenthesis by @ )doe.com. Additionally, you can specify what the mailto: link should look like by sticking a parenthesis inside of which you put the visible link text, like this: Hello [email protected](John Doe). How are you today? will become John( replace these parenthesis by @ )doe.com. inside a theme If you need to protect emails inside your Theme’s files (like the footer.php for example), you can use the function safe_email() like this: echo safe_email('[email protected]'); Theme-safe alternative (plugin can be disabled) If your theme must keep working even when this plugin is disabled, use a wrapper in your theme (for example in functions.php) and call that wrapper everywhere instead of calling safe_email() directly. if ( ! function_exists( 'theme_safe_email' ) ) { function theme_safe_email( $email, $label = '' ) { $email = sanitize_email( $email ); if ( '' === $email ) { return ''; } if ( function_exists( 'safe_email' ) ) { $payload = $email . ( '' !== $label ? '(' . $label . ')' : '' ); return safe_email( $payload ); } $encoded_email = antispambot( $email ); $link_label = '' !== $label ? $label : $encoded_email; return ' ' . esc_html( $link_label ) . ' '; } } Contribute Github repo: https://github.com/pixeline/pixeline-email-protector
