I’m using GeoDirectory with a number of place records

Recently, one of this records has allowed a large amount of spam, roughly one email every few minutes, to come through our site and spam our account’s email.

Our hosting service has done everything to limit this, but says the issue is with GeoDirectory and its lack of Captcha security.

Anyone have any ideas how to secure our site?

Hi Joe,

Yes, this plugin includes “Send Inquiry” Button too. Refer to the documentation here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-recaptcha-add-on-overview/

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

If you can install a “log emails” plugin we can check if its a bot or maybe a actual spammer.

Please also provide wp-admin details and i’ll take a look.

Thanks,

Stiofan
