Hi Harry,
I visited your site and saw this HTML for the comment textarea:
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="58" rows="10" tabindex="4" onfocus="if(this.value=='Ihr Kommentar*'){this.value=''}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Ihr Kommentar*'}">Ihr Kommentar*</textarea>
Antispam Bee is using a honeypot to detect bots (aka spammer). The comment textarea is hidden and a new comment textarea is added. If the hidden textarea is filled out it has to be a bot, because it is not visible to a normal user.
In this case is “Ihr Kommentar*” prefilled and triggers the CSS Hack check. There are better ways to have a placeholder. There is an attribute for that.
All the best,
Torsten
Hi Torsten,
thanks for that info:)
I will change/update the framework(comments.php) 😉
Best regards,
Harry
Hi Harry,
we are discussing this in the team too. Maybe we can fix it also on our side.
All the best,
Torsten
Hi Torsten,
is the onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Ihr Kommentar*'}"
not only on “old” templates like this CherryFramework i am using on my new site?
Best regards,
Harry
Hi Torsten,
i have changed the comment template, using now:
<?php comment_form( array('label_submit' => esc_html__( 'Submit', 'theme54599' ), 'title_reply' => esc_html__( 'Leave a Comment', 'theme54599' ), 'title_reply_to' => esc_html__( 'Leave a Reply to %s', 'theme54599' ), 'comment_field' => '<p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">' . _x( 'Comment', 'noun', 'theme54599' ) . '</label> <textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" maxlength=65525 required="required"></textarea></p>' ) ); ?>

but it is still spam, even as logged in user. Any idea where i can look in my files or for what i could search?
Best regards,

Hi Torsten,
it seems to be resolved. I changed the function for the comments in the theme. I think it was something with the call of trackbacks in the comment template and function.
Was a lot of work to update the old framwork for PHP7 and WP 4.7 😉
Best regards,
Harry
