Reducing Contact Form Spam

by WPHelpdesk Support | Aug 30, 2022 | 0 comments

Spam coming through contact forms is a perennial problem and unavoidable on an unprotected form. The best way to protect your form is to use Google ReCaptcha which is supported by most contact form plugins.

The specific implementation method varies depending on your contact form but the general process is the same:

Register a Google ReCaptcha API Key
Install the key on your WordPress website

Login to the Google reCAPTCHA Admin dashboard

Navigate to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/

Login with your Google account

Select the + icon

Complete the form

Copy your API Key and Secret into your plugin Settings
