    Hello guys,

    I have an issue with the Home-Page form for the http://osternasmaleri.se/ website. I am receiving a lot of spam emails though this form.
    Have you had this issue before? Do you have any suggestions?
    Would a simple Captcha plugin for Wordpress fix the issue?

    Please help! Thanks,
    Alex

    Hello again,

    I did an update for Wordpress, but I still receive spam email on the Home-Page form. I asked my hosting company for a solution and they told me to ad a CAPTCHA solution.

    How can I add a CAPTCHA plugin for the Home-Page form, for the Local Business Ink Theme ???

    Please help as I am getting a lot of spam emails.
    Thanks

    -Go for the setting of this plugin
    -Generate private and public key using google by clicking on link
    -Fill private and public key in captcha settings.
    -Get your short code
    -Go to the (Appearance ->Editor ->template-contact.php )
    -Paste like this short code which you will get from captcha setting page
    Code:
    echo do_shortcode('[bws_google_captcha]')
    
    -update file

    Thanks & Regards

    I did as you said.
    I'm not sure if I added the code in the correct place. Please see my screenshot.

    How can I be sure that it did work?
    I have no CAPTCHA filter on the website home-page form.
