Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin adds a hidden “honeypot” field to every Contact Form 7 form on your site. Real visitors never see or fill in this field, but simple spam bots that auto-fill every input on a page will. When the honeypot field is filled in, Contact Form 7 silently marks the submission as spam and no notification email is sent.

Key points:

  • No settings screen — install, activate, and it works.
  • The hidden field’s name is generated randomly per site, so it is harder for spam operators to learn and target.
  • No CAPTCHA and no visible challenge for real visitors.
  • Does nothing if Contact Form 7 is not installed or active — no admin notices, no errors.
  • No external requests, no tracking, no data ever leaves your site.

This plugin does not modify your form templates, and it does not guarantee that all spam will be blocked. It is one additional layer of defense, best used alongside Contact Form 7’s own spam handling (and Akismet, if you use it).

(日本語)Contact Form 7 の全フォームに、目には見えない「ハニーポット」欄を自動で追加するプラグインです。人には見えない欄にスパムボットが入力すると、その送信を自動でスパム扱いにしてメール通知を止めます。設定画面はなく、有効化するだけで動作します。隠し欄の名前はサイトごとにランダムに生成されるため、ボットに学習されにくくなっています。Contact Form 7 が無効・未インストールの場合は何もしません。
