=== Simplest comment spam catcher === Contributors: markhowellsmead Donate link: https://www.paypal.me/mhmli Tags: comment spam, spam, form, comment_form_after_fields, preprocess_comment, honeypot Requires at least: 4.0 Tested up to: 6.9.0 Stable tag: trunk License: GPLv3 License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html Add a hidden “honeypot” field to comment forms, to help combat comment spam. == Description == Adds a hidden field to comment forms, which will subsequently be auto-filled by spam-submitting robots. If the form submission contains a value, the comment will not be saved, because only robots will see the field and fill it out. Simple! Any form which is processed using the hook `comment_form_after_fields` (building the form HTML) and `preprocess_comment` (for processing the form submission) will be extended with this functionality. This plugin doesn't block or catch any form submissions which have been filled manually in a browser, so you may still receive the occasional advertising or sales message as a post or page comment. However, blocking automatically-generated spam messages will reduce the number of unwanted messages greatly. == Installation == 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. That's it. == Changelog == = 1.0.5 = * Add plugin image assets for repository * Confirms compatibility with WordPress 5.6. = 1.0.4 = * Confirms compatibility with WordPress 5.2.0. * Switches to the use of PHP array short syntax. * Changes the author name to Say Hello GmbH. = 1.0.3.1 = * Changes the name of the plugin which is displayed in WordPress admin area.
