SPAM problems !!! was created by Fredouille
Good morning,
Since I installed Vi Solution, I am invaded by Spam. !!! Every day, at least 30 / 40
I activated re-captcha in all my forms, activated spam protection in all my forms, activated spambot check plugin.
Nothing to do.
I can't spend hours every day blocking ips on htaccess.
Neither block all countries: some from I received spams are countries where I have customers.
It's not conceivable

In addition, I realize that your application installs javascript on the front and hard in the pages: it's holy bread for trolls and hackers

What should I do to make this stop please?

Hello Fredouille,

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with spam attacks.
Basically, Visforms provides very secure forms and extensive spam protection.
Spam protection is important and is also successfully discussed here in the forum, which means that all forms are ultimately used spam-free.

Re: Since I installed Vi Solution, I am invaded by Spam.

Just for your information:
Visforms is used by tens of thousands of users.
All known bugs will be fixed immediately and there are currently no known similar issues.
If you use Visforms, you can assume that any problems that arise are not causally linked to Visforms.
It is very likely that there is something fundamentally wrong with the Joomla instance.

Question Q1. Which versions did you install and when?

Re: activated spambot check plugin.

Question Q2: What settings have you made in the plugin options?

Re: javascript on the front and hard in the pages.

There are no technical restrictions regarding form security.
Form security is created in particular through the interaction of the backend (PHP) and frontend (JavaScript).
Question Q3: Which reputable technical source are you referring to?

Question Q4: Can you provide a link to an affected form?

Re: What should I do to make this stop please?

There is no easy solution based on your information as Visforms provides a very safe solution when used correctly.
It seems you are currently the only one with this annoying problem.

There are other options in Visforms to improve spam protection even more.
This is described in the documentation.
More options:
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...ection/#more-options

Re: Sent a contact form today (may 13rd)
We receive inquiries every day via the contact form and no one else has mentioned an unanswered contact email so far.

Kind regards, Ingmar

:idea: I recommend you the new and up-to-date documentation for Joomla 4:
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/en/docs/
Most of this also applies retrospectively to Joomla 3.
Please only ask 1 question per topic :-).

:idea: Ich empfehle Dir die neue und aktuelle Dokumentation für Joomla 4:
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/docs/
Das meiste gilt rückwirkend auch für Joomla 3.
Bitte immer nur 1 Frage pro Thema stellen :-).
