LH Zero Spam

Сүрөттөө

Why should your users prove that they’re humans by filling out captchas? Let bots prove they’re not bots with the LH Zero Spam plugin.

LH Zero Spam blocks registration spam and spam in comments automatically without any config or setup. Zero Spam was initially built based on the work by David Walsh, but enhanced with simpler code base and unobtrusive JavaScript.

Major features in LH Zero Spam include:

  • No captcha, because spam is not users’ problem
  • No moderation queues, because spam is not administrators’ problem
  • Blocks spam registrations & comments with the use of JavaScript
  • Blocks buddypress spam registrations with the use of JavaScript
  • Blocks woocommerce spam orders with the use of JavaScript

FAQ.KG

Is JavaScript required for this plugin to work?

Yes, that’s what does the magic and keeps spam bots out.

I keep getting ‘There was a problem processing your comment.’

Be sure JavaScript is enabled and there are no JS errors.

Does this work with multisite?’

Yes it protects from spam wp-register registrations.

Does this work with Buddypress?’

Yes as of version 1.08 this will protect from Buddypress registrations. Note is requires the bp_before_account_details_fields hook, must reputable themes include this hook.

Does this work with Woocommerce?’

Yes as of version 1.10 this will protect from Woocommerce spam order registrations.

What is something does not work?

LH Zero Spam, and all https://lhero.org plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones).

If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfifteen, twentysixteen etc.

If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-zero-spam/. I look there regularly and resolve most queries.

What if I need a feature that is not in the plugin?

Thanks Peter for making and maintaining this. Another plugin removed the David Walsh approach and I got client complaints so I'm really pleased to see this. This works on the default contact form for Beaver Builder too.

I was using Akismet but Akismet failed to stop spam, I was getting a lot of spam comments on daily basis. Few month ago, I installed this free plugin and there isn't any spam comment since then. This one is a must have plugin for bloggers.
