Hi, thank you.
For simply changing the labels in the form, there are two PHP filters. You can add code to functions.php of your theme, or to your own plugin. Here are examples:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gwolle-gb/trunk/docs/filters/gwolle_gb_author_name_label.txt
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gwolle-gb/trunk/docs/filters/gwolle_gb_author_website_label.txt
About changing that line, that seems a bit more involved. There is a template file where the default is located here:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gwolle-gb/trunk/frontend/gwolle_gb-entry.php
This template file can be changed and if you place it in your theme folder, it should be loaded instead of the default.
Please be aware that I usually advise against using this template, there will be changes that you would need to pickup yourself. Also, I do have some long lingering changes I want to place here.
Does this help you?
Thank you. This worked great for this field. Could you please point me towards the documentation for the filters required to alter for the other fields?
Hi @mpol – Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. That worked a treat, could you tell me if the Guestbook can offer a less simple method of testing a visitor? Ad the moment asking for simple addition or arithmetic seems a little dates. What about Re-Captcha, or image check? Possible?
Hi, I believe that the spamfilters that are enabled by default are quite good. There are a few other options available, Stop Forum Spam and Akismet are really good, but please understand that they use an external service and might not be a good fit if you are privacy-concious.
I don’t believe that reCaptcha is any good. In the past, some users reported timeout issues with the reCaptcha service. Support was non-existant.
Also, sometimes users just don’t get past it, especially if they don’t use Chrome and are not logged in to a Google service. I stongly believe Google should not be the police officer or gatekeeper of the internet.
If you do believe that reCaptcha is a good spamfilter, you could look into supporting it with an extra plugin. It doesn’t need that much code, but you do need to be able to write code.
