Not working

Hi @vptsar, I looked at the page and ran some tests. I am also seeing the form being sent despite the honeypot field. I’m really not sure what could be causing this. I’ve tested on another site, and cannot replicate the problem. Some things to check:

1) Are you using the latest versions of both Contact Form 7 (5.1.1) and CF7 Honeypot (1.14)?

2) Do you have any plugins that might be disrupting the validation process for the form?

3) Do you only have “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.” set for the “success” message in the “Messages” tab?

Hi, thanks for you answer,

1) We use WP (4.7.13), Contact Form 7 (4.6.1) and CF7 Honeypot (1.14)

2) We have a number of plugins
Akismet Anti-Spam (4.1.1)
Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension (2.0.2)
Contact Form DB (2.10.26)
Duplicate Post (3.03)
Flamingo (1.5)
IN-Analytics(0.4.1)
WPBakery Visual Compose (4.12)
Yoast SEO (4.2.1)
,but which of them might be disrupting the validation process for the forms is difficult to say

3) Yes only “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.”

I don’t know of any known issues, but maybe try submitting (with a value filled for the honeypot) with Contact Form DB and/or Flamingo disabled and see — as those would be the only two I can see in your list that might be changing how things get sent/validated.

If you’re able to upgrade WordPress and CF7, that would also be the best course of action. There was a recent thread about issues with using the latest CF7 Honeypot and older versions of WordPress and CF7. If you can’t upgrade, I would downgrade the CF7 Honeypot plugin to version 1.12 or 1.11.

Thank! I take advantage of your advice and try

Marking as resolved.
