review · 1 starsAfter installed the plugin i relized that some additional little forms appeared next to original contact form 7 forms.
ciao @lanboran that little forms are honeypots and are automatically added by the plugin as a spam prevention mechanism. Likely something in your css style is forcing their display, but I don’t think the right way to report this problem is with a review like this. Just seems to me a bad shot for something completely free and oss, you are putting me off sincerly!
Just wanted to add, that I also had this problem because of my parent theme’s style and I had to adjust my custom css style to hide the honeypot field. Maybe just add “!important” to the “position: absolute” rule for the “.wpcf7 form.wpcf7-form .fit-the-fullspace” selector in the next update, at least that’s what I only had to do to fix it. But yea, @lanboran , don’t put a one star review to a free plugin that clearly had a lot of effort and love put in, just because you were lazy to check what was the actual problem.

You are right @anze but use a style with !important will make the honeypot much easier to detect, that was the reason why i decided to avoid to use it. if you think it isn’t worth I’m willing to change my mind, in the end it’s a minor change (however you should report it to me on github so I can credit you for your idea). PS thanks for the review! 🙂
