Mô tả
Web Ok Honeypot Lite adds a simple, effective honeypot field to your Contact Form 7 forms. It catches spam bots by adding a hidden field that real users never see — but bots fill it in automatically, revealing themselves as spam.
Why this plugin?
- Zero configuration — no settings page, no database writes. Just add the tag and go.
- Lightweight — under 10KB total. No bloat, no upsells, no bundled features you don’t need.
- Silent success — bots see a fake “message sent” response, so they never learn to adapt.
- Drop-in replacement — uses the same
[honeypot]tag as other CF7 honeypot plugins. Switch without editing your forms. - Works great alongside Turnstile/reCAPTCHA — honeypots catch dumb bots, CAPTCHAs catch smart ones.
How it works:
- Add
[honeypot your-field-name]anywhere in your CF7 form template. - The plugin renders a hidden text input that’s invisible to humans.
- Spam bots auto-fill every field they find, including the honeypot.
- If the honeypot has a value on submission, the form is silently rejected.
Cài đặt
- Upload the
web-ok-honeypot-lite-for-cf7folder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
- Edit any Contact Form 7 form and click the honeypot button in the toolbar, or manually add
[honeypot your-field-name]to your form template.
That’s it. No settings to configure.
Hỏi đáp
-
Do I need to configure anything?
-
No. Just add the
[honeypot]tag to your form and the plugin handles everything else. -
Can I use this with Cloudflare Turnstile or reCAPTCHA?
-
Absolutely. Honeypots and CAPTCHAs complement each other — honeypots catch simple bots that fill every field, while CAPTCHAs catch more sophisticated ones.
-
What happens when a bot is caught?
-
The bot sees a fake success message (“Your message has been sent”), so it thinks the submission went through. No email is actually sent.
-
Can I switch from the “CF7 Apps” honeypot plugin?
-
Yes. Web Ok Honeypot Lite uses the same
[honeypot]form tag, so you can deactivate the old plugin and activate this one — no form changes needed. -
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin adds one tiny CSS file (under 1KB) and a few lines of PHP. There are no JavaScript files, no external requests, and no database queries.
