 * Hi,
 * Are there any known compatibility issues with WP-Spamshield and the Shield WordPress
   Security plugin? Presumably I do not need their anti-spam features enabled if
   running WP-Spamshied?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi ac1643,
 * We’re not aware of any conflicts between the plugins. We’ve worked with that 
   author before on compatibility with one of his other plugins, and he seems to
   be very good about working to ensure compatibility. If you do experience any 
   issues, you just need to let us know. I would recommend only using one spam solution,
   as you said. The brute force protection on the other plugin should be fine.
 * For the future, if you ever want to check for compatibility issues, the [Known Issues page](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/known-conflicts/)
   contains every issue that we’re aware of. If it isn’t on there, then there aren’t
   any known issues with a certain plugin. As you can see, there are not a lot of
   plugins that WP-SpamShield conflicts with, because we place a high priority on
   compatibility and work to ensure that.
