It catches spam bots by adding a hidden field that real users never see— but bots fill it in automatically, revealing themselves as spam. **Why this plugin?** * **Zero configuration** — no settings page, no database writes. Just add the tag and go. * **Lightweight** — under 10KB total. No bloat, no upsells, no bundled features you don’t need. * **Silent success** — bots see a fake “message sent” response, so they never learn to adapt. * **Drop-in replacement** — uses the same `[honeypot]` tag as other CF7 honeypot plugins. Switch without editing your forms. * **Works great alongside Turnstile/reCAPTCHA** — honeypots catch dumb bots, CAPTCHAs catch smart ones. **How it works:** 1. Add `[honeypot your-field-name]` anywhere in your CF7 form template. 2. The plugin renders a hidden text input that’s invisible to humans. 3. Spam bots auto-fill every field they find, including the honeypot. 4. If the honeypot has a value on submission, the form is silently rejected. ## Installation 1. Upload the `web-ok-honeypot-lite-for-cf7` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Edit any Contact Form 7 form and click the **honeypot** button in the toolbar, or manually add `[honeypot your-field-name]` to your form template. That’s it. No settings to configure. ## FAQ ### Do I need to configure anything? No. Just add the `[honeypot]` tag to your form and the plugin handles everything else. ### Can I use this with Cloudflare Turnstile or reCAPTCHA? Absolutely. Honeypots and CAPTCHAs complement each other — honeypots catch simple bots that fill every field, while CAPTCHAs catch more sophisticated ones. ### What happens when a bot is caught? The bot sees a fake success message (“Your message has been sent”), so it thinks the submission went through. No email is actually sent. ### Can I switch from the “CF7 Apps” honeypot plugin? Yes. Web Ok Honeypot Lite uses the same `[honeypot]` form tag, so you can deactivate the old plugin and activate this one — no form changes needed. ### Will this slow down my site? No. The plugin adds one tiny CSS file (under 1KB) and a few lines of PHP. There are no JavaScript files, no external requests, and no database queries. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Web Ok Honeypot Lite for CF7” is open source software.
