 * Since about the middle of August I have been receiving spam through the contact
   form. It seems bots are able to bypass the captcha somehow.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbots-getting-through-captcha%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * We are sorry for the late reply.
 * Please try the following workaround.
 * Edit your form and add a Hidden Field to it and have **spamhidden **set as its
   Name. Make sure to leave its Value blank.
 * Please search **savedata **in contact-form-builder\frontend\models\CFMModelForm_maker.
   php file and add
 * **if(isset($_POST[‘spamhidden’]) && trim($_POST[‘spamhidden’]) != ”) { return
   false; } **
 * after
 * **$id_for_old = $id;**
 * Check the [following gif](https://gyazo.com/9a9fd53d22d0d6d6e3f185e299bb4ec4).
 * Thank you!
 * Have a nice day!
