Thanks for your help! I’m happy to continue using and recommending this plugin ??

I didn’t auto fill the form. But I guess once it is letting me in now then it is ok. Switching it off and on is the thing that let me back in.

Thanks for clarification on spambots, the other person who commented had such an obvious spambot with 20 signups per day and random numbers, the real ones were harder to guess, but the honeypot sure is keeping them out!

Thanks, I see you in my inbox, the thing that really confused me is that it blocked me out and said I hadn’t passed security one time I switched it on.

I’m also not sure what a spambot does – but for sure someone or something is sitting on my site sending me very human-looking email addresses and names 1-5 times a day, you got through but they didn’t.

Regarding my other issues – I’m guessing copying a page from wordpress in there is not such a good idea – that is where the text had crazy spaces in it and the links didn’t fully load.

I’m using it on this site eatdrinkthinkdo.com see if you can sign up with the honeypot on, all my sign ups stop with it on including myself!

I switched the honeypot off and on a few times, tonight it did let me sign up. Since all other sign ups stop with this honeypot on and I was getting 1-5 a day, I now have to conclude I’m being spammed

But I’d like to know this plugin is stable on my site and to trust it

I’ve had 3 problems with the plugin:

1. The names of my sign ups don’t appear until I copy and paste in a certain way! I copy then from my email to google docs, then copy them from there to gmail – only after copying them and pasting them into gmail do I get a name for half of them. I thought I had a bot but now I think they are real.

2. But the sign ups stopped when I clicked honeypot. It was between 1 and 3 for a week, some definitely legit as I have tracking on them elsewhere.

3. The text in your message box isn’t right, there are gaps in some of the letters, and when I put some affiliate links in it only held some of them and others just got a long deactivated url.
