    Hello,

    Recently I’ve been getting spam through my contact form (I’m using Contact Form 7). I went to the Shield dashboard configure spam controls for contact forms, only to see that the settings don’t exist (only for COMMENT forms). Is my impression correct that I need to look into a different solution as Shield doesn’t cover contact forms, or did I overlook something?

    Thanks!

  • Contact Form 7 integrate with Akismet for anti-spam, I would like an integration also with Shield Security.

    This doesn’t currently exist, but we may look to add this in a later/Pro version if it’s possible – it just depends on how the CF7 forms are built and what extensibility options they have offered.

    I don’t use Akismet (nor do I want to). Is there any recommended contact form that will tie into Shield Security, or is this a matter of Shield Security not supporting contact forms? 😉

    This is a matter of Shield not supporting 3rd party plugins. There’s no way to support 3rd party developed plugins without manual work to dig into what they have, and how they work. And of course, they can update and change how they work and we will need to adapt.

    But first they need to have built their code so that other plugins can interact with them. It’s not a trivial task.

    So Shield supports the native Worpress contact form then?
