[FEATURE] Fluent Forms? seems to be disabled somehow #276

Closed ash-f closed 2 years ago

ash-f commented 2 years ago

I see the Fluent Forms module in the plugin folder. But also I see it's commented out in /includes/class-plugin.php. Is it intentionally disabled for some reason? Or Fluent Forms does not need this module?

@ash-f It was once integrated, but they released an update a while back that uses a couple of different methods to prevent spam submissions, similar to Zero Spam, and unfortunately made it more difficult to hook into submissions to integrate Zero Spam's protection. It's commented out for now until I get some more time to devote to digging in alternative ways to integrate it. I'll leave this issue open so the progress can be tracked.

Hey @ash-f, good news! This will be re-enabled with the next release.

ash-f commented 2 years ago

Thank you for the quick update.

I can turn off Fluent's built-in honeypot if it might become a cause of trouble. Zero Spam does work well so I don't need built-in feature in this case. Is it safer to disable built-in honeypot?

bmarshall511 commented 2 years ago

shouldn't cause any trouble, just double protection using the honeypot technique.
