yes, that’s exactly the popup I’m referring to – the marker popup that opens when clicking on a map marker.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing the element that WAVE flags as a contrast issue:

Hello @usamaazad99,

we surely don’t want to be impolite or thankless for your work and this free plugin. But we really can underline every single statement @shahmanish877 from above. We couldn’t have written it better than him. But first of all we want to praise that you do at least answer to this problem so quickly at all. There are other manufacturers that don’t even do this. So thanks for that.

Meanwhile we have rebuilt the whole contact form system of more than a dozen (and counting) websites as Fluent Forms Pro with Turnstile because of uncertainty concerns.

If you need so much time so verify this crucial system a not-updateable, just manually installable beta version is no solution overall.

Why don’t you simply release a new version via this repository having your old anti spam technique? Everryone could easily “downgrade” this way and when you are ready with your tests everyone could easily upgrade. Agencies as ours have to do everything in maybe hundrets of websites. So this would be by far the most effective way. Since I’ve seen it often in plugin or theme changelogs that authors release a new version that does a rollback in certain things until the real solution is there, we really ask ourselves why you don’t do this after such a long time. This could buy you the time you need to fix the problem reliably.

Greetings,

Hi @usamaazad99,

over the weekend we had your beta running. Honeypot and minimum-time-to-send feature both seem to work. Both did filter out spam messages. Nevertheless we got a single spam message, obviously by a bot that 1) doesn’t fill in the honeypot, that 2) didn’t send the form too fast and that 3) was able to answer our quiz question that we set up as a third security measure. We now changed the quiz question from an easy calculation task (1+5?) to a little more sophisticated question and will see what comes out.

We have some more question:

1. Will the beta version we installed be auto updated like regular versions, as soon as a new version will be available here in the wordpress.org repository?
2. What did you change in the beta? Is it plausible that your changes did fix malfunctioning honeyport or time-measure functions?
3. Are you still trying to improve something relevant for this topic at the moment for a second beta – and if yes, what is it?
4. What else could we do to bot-protect our forms better than just using honeypot/time measure/quiz quesiton and without using external services like ReCaptcha, Turnstile & Co.?

Thank you very much for your great work and support,

Hi @wfmargaret,

ok thank you very much for letting us know. If such a more granular possibility of the settings is nothing you would implement in the UI, perhaps you can think about adding some filters that interested users could integrate into the functions.php file. You wouldn’t have to change your UI for everyone, but we could switch on and off notifications more granular then. We guess it cannot be too hard to implement such filters for single events to switch mail notifications on or off. But of course switches in the normal settings would be more comfortable.

Thanks again,

Hi @wpssupport,

ok, we’ll do so. Please let us know how/where to do this. Keep in mind that we are using the free version of the plugin if that matters.

Thank you a lot,

Thank you for this tip! I looked at this again and found out that it was the official Adobe Acrobat Extension in my browser that handles relative links incorrectly. If I deactivate the extension, the relative links are handled as absolute links!

Thanks again for clarifying!

Hello @jarnovos,

we just sent you the mail with the information you asked for.

As said our agency maintains 250+ WordPress installations all having your plugin. Even after 9.5.0.1 we continuously have websites down (all subpages but not the front page) because of the missing WordPress-part in the .htaccess that still erratically gets auto-deleted by your plugin. That is a situation that may not persist. It is a severe problem we think you should urgently fix considering your huge installations base. Your plugin might be responsible for thousands of websites going down. If you cannot fix this asap please consider an update of your plugin reverting your changes that led to this huge problem until you find the issue.

We are waiting for your reply – of course, thank you for your work!
