FAQ

Submissions are incorrectly treated as spam

This may happen if the Javascript of your page doesn’t work properly. Therefore 3 reasons are known:
1. The problem sometimes occures directly after the installation due to caching. Therefore the required JavaScript to do the proof-of-work, isn’t loaded as intended. To fix this, clear the cache on your webserver (WordPress-caching is usually done by plugins which serve an option to clear the cache) and in your browser.
2. JavaScript is crashing because of incompatibility of the plugin with another plugin. If you recognize that, I would be happy if you report it to me. Usually I’ll fix it within the same day.
3. Javascript is crashing even without this plugin. Even without this plugin, you should always ensure that JavaScript is working correctly on all of your pages.
4. In the most browsers you can identify Javascript errors by pressing F12 on your page and navgigating to console. Here you can see what happens on your page.

Parsing error

Appears in Elementor, if your submission was identified as spam. Look at question “The plugin recognizes submissions incorrectly as spam” for further information.

Neither messages, nore spam is shown in the inbox

First of all: Whereas the blocking, should work for every form and login on the one hand, on the other hand there may exist several reasons why the inbox and the flagging of spam doesn’t work.
The spam-check and the respective blocking of spam happens independently of all your plugins and technical settings for every POST-request.
To flag and to save submissions correctly in your inbox requires your form to use WordPress-standards. Many form-builders define an own standard and therefore manipulate post-variables.
Therefore the initially posted parameters either do not achieve the processing of the plugin, or they achieve it in an unknown form that is not treated correctly.
If you recognize this behaviour, I would be glad if you gave me a notice in the support forum and usually I would ad specific support for your form-builder.

Can’t get my problems fixed

  1. Important messages could be shown in browser console (F12) on problematic page
  2. Whenever you post something to the support forum, try to hand over all details
  3. If the recaptcha doesn’t work on any form, give me a notice and I will try to fix that

How to disable this plugin?

  • Use standard WordPress plugins page for deactivation and deletion of the plugin
  • When deactivating the plugin you will be asked for the reason. If you face any problems I would be glad if you report to it me as detailed as possible. Usually I will fix them quickly. If you give me contcat details, I may inform you as soon as it is fixed.

I just installed the plugin and it blocked all incoming spam. I really like the opportunity to still watch the spam and as well the option to just flag spam for mail-forwarding, as we really use it.
