Description
This plugin works by adding a textarea field to the comment form that’s hidden using a CSS style. Since bots don’t
generally detect CSS like this, they proceed to fill out the field like any other field. This implies that they
aren’t a human (or they wouldn’t « see » the field with CSS hiding it) using a browser, in which case the plugin
marks the comment as spam. This seems to catch the vast majority of spam with very few false results and doesn’t
require contacting a third party service like most spam plugins.
Installation
- Upload
spam-honeypot.phpto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

button name; hover your mouse cursor over each of these fields for more details
