Thanks for the feedback, both points are valid and we’ll improve the plugin’s UI to address them.
1) Missing link to Project Honeypot You’re right, we should be linking directly to projecthoneypot.org from the settings section. We’ll add that.
2) Finding your access key The key you need is the HTTP:BL Access Key — so yes, the “BL Access Key” you found is exactly what goes into the Zero Spam settings. Here’s how to find it:
- Log in at projecthoneypot.org
- Go to HTTP:BL Configuration (or navigate to Services → HTTP:BL from your dashboard)
- Your access key is displayed at the top — it’s a 12-character alphanumeric string
- Paste that key into the Access Key field in Zero Spam’s Project Honeypot settings
We’ll update the plugin description to make this clearer and include a direct link to the HTTP:BL configuration page.
If you have a moment, we’d really appreciate it if you could leave a review for Zero Spam on WordPress.org. Reviews help us reach more users, keep us motivated, and allow us to continue improving the plugin. Your feedback, whether it’s a feature request, a bug report, or just a thumbs up, makes a real difference. Thank you for your support!
