WP Ghost provides excellent protection against spammer bots through its Brute Force protection and reCAPTCHA features on the Login Form, Signup Form, Lost Password Form, and Comments Form. However, it does not directly integrate with contact forms to prevent contact spam messages.
For contact forms, WP Ghost can indirectly help reduce spam by:
Blocking Bots and Malicious Traffic
WP Ghost’s 8G firewall and bot-blocking features can prevent many spambots from reaching your site, reducing the risk of spam submissions.
Strengthening Website Security
By hiding vulnerable WordPress paths and blocking suspicious IPs with the Blacklist feature, WP Ghost makes it harder for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities, which can sometimes lead to spam-related issues.
For direct spam prevention on contact forms, you should use features provided by your form plugin or dedicated anti-spam tools:
- Enable reCAPTCHA (most contact form plugins, like Contact Form 7, WPForms, and Gravity Forms, support it).
- Use an anti-spam plugin like Akismet or Antispam Bee.
- Implement honeypot fields to trick spambots.
