=== Plugin Name === Contributors: tobias382 Tags: comments, spam Requires at least: 2.9.0 Tested up to: 2.9.1 Stable tag: 1.1.0 Adds a hidden text field to the comment form to trap spam bots. == Description == This plugin works by adding a textarea field to the comment form that's hidden using a CSS style. Since bots don’t generally detect CSS like this, they proceed to fill out the field like any other field. This implies that they aren't a human (or they wouldn't "see" the field with CSS hiding it) using a browser, in which case the plugin marks the comment as spam. This seems to catch the vast majority of spam with very few false results and doesn't require contacting a third party service like most spam plugins. == Installation == 1. Upload `spam-honeypot.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Be sure that your theme implements `` in comments.php and comments-popup.php 1. Optionally, go to the plugin's settings page and change the hidden textarea name and/or specify the submit button name; hover your mouse cursor over each of these fields for more details == Frequently Asked Questions == = How can I get a question added to this FAQ? = Just contact me at with your question. I'll respond with an answer and, if it appears relevant to the plugin's userbase, I'll add it to the FAQ in the next release. == Changelog == = 1.1.0 = * Added a settings page allowing the name of the hidden textarea to be set and the name attribute value of the comment form's submit button to be specified * Added a check for the submit button value (if specified) to check_honeypot() = 1.0.0 = * Initial release.
