Plugin “WP-SpamShield” is the reason….
Hi @simmsen,
All CAPTCHAs should be deactivated when using WP-SpamShield, as they are not needed, and will cause conflicts. WP-SpamShield supports Gwolle GB, and protects it automatically from spam, without needing any kind of CAPTCHA. Please see Troubleshooting Guide Step 14 for more info. If you have any further issues, we’ll be happy to help.

Ah, interesting.
Do you want me to make this a FAQ?
What features do you support really? This plugin uses Nonce, Honeypot, Akismet, Quizz Question and Akismet.
I suppose WP-Spamshield is using Nonce and Honeypot fields too? They too should be deactivated?
Hi Marcel!
Sure…if you like, an FAQ would be good.
Basically if WP-SpamShield is active and its Anti-Spam for Miscellaneous Forms is not disabled, it will handle the anti-spam for Gwolle GB automatically, and any anti-spam features in Gwolle GB are unnecessary, and will be adjusted automatically to prevent conflicts.
We’ve got your back. 🙂
All of WP-SpamShield’s protection features are available to your plugin’s users.
If you activate the two plugins together, you can test it out. Just modify anti-spam settings in the Gwolle GB settings, and if WP-SpamShield will auto-correct anything that would conflict. We did a lot of testing to make sure everything works smoothly. If users don’t want to use WP-SpamShield’s protection for Gwolle GB, then all they need to do is disable Anti-Spam for Miscellaneous Forms in WPSS settings.
We’ll be happy to help fine-tune anything, or answer any questions if you would like…We have a compatibility page for other developers here. You can use the contact form at the bottom to get in touch with us directly.
Hope that helps!

Thank you. I tested and it seems to be fine for me.
The FAQ is added.
