Overview

The Honeypot plugin for WordPress provides an effective and non-intrusive method for SPAM protection by employing the "honeypot" technique. This approach adds an invisible form field to all Formidable forms on your site, which is designed to be undetectable by human users but tricks spambots into filling it out. If this hidden field is populated, the form submission is blocked, thereby preventing SPAM entries. This plugin works seamlessly without any settings adjustments and is compatible with both the free and Pro versions of Formidable. While not officially affiliated with Formidable, the Honeypot plugin extends the functionality of your forms and maintains ease of use, with a gentle request for donations to support the developer's continued work.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its effective spam prevention using the Honeypot method, which is considered less intrusive and more user-friendly compared to traditional Captchas. The plugin’s simplicity and ease of use are highlighted, with a special note that users need to be logged out of WordPress to see the hidden field in action. However, this login requirement could be seen as a minor inconvenience. Overall, it successfully enhances user experience by keeping forms spam-free without compromising on aesthetics or usability.

I really dislike Captchas! quite ugly and not a very user-friendly device. Honeypot does the trick! Just remember you must be logged out of WordPress for the hidden field to be there. Thanks Developer!
