    Thanks. Can I add wildcard in the Denylist? so I can block all variations from a particular domain?

      You can use wildcard characters, we cover how to set them up on our documentation page below!

      @wpforms  2 года назад

      You would want to set up form notifications following our guide below:

    If I want to change from the Google recaptcha to the hcaptcha do I just follow the simple steps or is there a deactivation step I need to take before I hop to the next

      There is an option to disable recaptcha in our options themselves. If you run into any issues or have any questions please reach out to us using our contact form below:

    I've heard that every plugin you install slows your website down. Are there any other methods without having (yet another) plugin?

    • @wpforms
      @wpforms  3 года назад +1

      Poorly coded plugins slow down your site, most plugins would have a minimal effect, the same as if you manually coded their action. For more on how many plugins to install, you would want to take a look at this article from WPBeginner:

    Problem is when a new site is launched and uses wp form you get some 5-10 emails a day from the "best SEO" wanting to provide a service. So basically human but pretty annoying

    • @wpforms
      @wpforms  Год назад

      That is less from us directly and more for people who scrape new website registrations and sadly there is only so much that can be done about manual messages that you don't want to receive
