    This is not a support question. I just wanted to share my excellent experience with Essential Form in terms of spam protection. After installing the plugin spam dropped from 200 per day to 0. I have no idea how this works, but it works great. No captcha, no quiz, no nothing.

    I will migrate all sites that do not need extended functionality to Essential Form.

    Hi Jose,

    Do you think the following plugin would be useful in combination with Essential Form?
    https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/honeypot/

    Or it’s not necessary? Or maybe not compatible. Sorry, I am not clued up on SPAM technology.

    My site is still in development though, so cannot comment yet with regards to SPAM, but I have added and styled your form in my template.

    Hi Gin,

    honestly, I don’t know if the Honeypot plugin works with Essential Form. Never tested it.

    However, Essential Form already has its own anti-spam system.
    I would say you don’t need also Honeypot. I suggest you first try it without it.


    I hope it helps.
    Have a great day!

    Jose
