Hidden Field

Hi @bagnall ,

Thanks for reaching out!

What WAVE is detecting might be our anti-spam honeypot field. It’s a hidden text input that bots often fill in (since they can’t tell it’s invisible), which allows WPForms to silently filter out spam submissions without displaying a CAPTCHA.

If you’d prefer to remove it, you can do so in the form builder. Simply open your form, go to Settings » Anti-Spam & Security, and toggle off the Anti-spam honeypot option, then save the form.

Just keep in mind that disabling it may increase spam submissions slightly, so you may want to consider enabling another anti-spam option instead: https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-prevent-spam-in-wpforms/

If disabling the honeypot doesn’t resolve the issue, please share a link to the page where the form is embedded so we can take a closer look.

I hope this helps!
