Let’s Prevent Spam in our Contact Forms!
Details
With Google’s recent changes to reCAPTCHA—now requiring a Google Cloud Project—it’s the perfect time to explore alternative ways to keep spam out of your WordPress contact forms. Join us for this meetup where we’ll dive into different spam prevention techniques and tools.
In the first hour, we’ll discuss:
- reCAPTCHA alternatives like Cloudflare Turnstile and hCaptcha
- Basic spam prevention strategies including honeypots, manual conditional fields, and noindexing pages with forms
- WordPress plugins that help reduce spam
The final 30 minutes will be a Q&A session where you can ask questions, share what has worked (or not worked) for you, and learn from others in the community.
This meetup will be recorded and posted on our website at wppittsburgh.com and our YouTube channel.
Whether you're a WordPress beginner or an experienced user, this session will provide practical solutions to keep your contact forms spam-free.
