Contact Form overwhelmed with Spam! Help!

Hi Dan and Air,
I am being overwhelmed by spam on my contact form and don't know what to do. I have Akismet, and I've also added ReCaptcha in my contact form on Rife Pro, but it's not doing anything. Getting problems on both my sites all of a sudden.
Any tips please on how to crush this? Ideally an invisible field, but which gets filled in by bots etc and then the plug-in throws out the mail if that invisible field is filled in.
Or something else better? I'm not a fan of quizzes etc to be honest.
Ta
Heather

    Hey Heather :-)

    If you are using WPForms for your contact form, then I would ask them, as they will be most informed about how to act: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wpforms-lite/

    I don't have any better advice for you as we use the same solutions as you have tried.

    With kind regards.
  • Thanks! It looks like you have to pay for anti-spam, bit frustrating as I have 2 sites! I will try it out on one first... All the best and Happy New Year!
