HowTo configure the honeypot?

Hi @locked2022

there no configuration possible or needed to enable/disable the honeypot. It is our “always on” core feature.

If every comment is marked as spam there will probably some sort of conflict.

I have tested it with the free Bravada theme and my comments don’t get marked as spam, so this either a problem with the plus version (if you are using this) or with another plugin.

Can you share your active plugins and your ASB settings?

ASB is not active at them moment, correct?

All the best

Howdy Torsten,
just checked, I am running the Free version “Bravada Theme v1.0.6.1”
ASB is activated (makes me suspicious that you assume it’s off).
the active plugins:
* Antispm Bee
* Bulk NoIndex & NoFollow Toolkit (by Mad Fish)
* Koko Analytics
* Newsletter, SMTP, Email marketing and Subscribe forms by Sendinblue
* Simple Local Avatars
* Ultimate Before After Image Slider & Gallery – BEAF
* Ultimate Before After Image Slider BEAF Pro
* UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
* XML Sitemaps

ASB Setting:
[x] Trust approved commenters
[_] Trust commenters with a Gravatar
[_] Consider the comment time
[x] BBCode links are spam
[x] Use regular expressions
[x] Look in the local spam database
[_] Block or allow comments from specific countries
[_] Allow comments only in certain language
Advanced
[x] Mark as spam, do not delete
[x] Spam-Notification by email
[_] Do not save the spam reason
[x] Delete existing spam after 120 days
[_] Limit approval to
[_] Delete comments by spam reasons
[x] Delete Antispam Bee data when uninstalling
More
[x] Generate statistics as a dashboard widget
[x] Spam counter on the dashboard
[_] Do not check trackbacks / pingbacks
[_] Check complete site markup for comment forms

hope this helps!

Hi @locked2022

ASB is activated (makes me suspicious that you assume it’s off).

I checked this post: https://photos.locked.de/2022/02/05/alpine-huts/
And there is no honeypot in the markup of the page.

Looks like you can fix it with enabling this option in ASB:

[_] Check complete site markup for comment forms

I can reproduce the problem if I uncheck this option.

I will check why this happens and if/how we can fix it. Looks like the theme is doing something unusual here (should be using a core function but seems to be doing it different).

All the best

Hi @locked2022

I dived a little bit in the code and found the reason.

Opened up a issue on Github for it:

Hey Thorsten,
ah nice! I checked the option. A test-post is now no more marked as Honeypot-Spam.
Thanks a lot!

I just donated 10€ for the quick help!

Just read your reply with the BUG on Github. Awesome! Thanks a ton!
