Do you have a lot of events on your WordPress site? Perhaps you want to add events on your WordPress. You will need a plugin to create events.
Events Manager https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/ allows you to create and publish different types of events on the site. The plugin adds a form to the page through which users can subscribe to the event.
Spammers use forms on the site and send spam messages or comments through this form.
Cleantalk added spam protection for the WordPress Events Manager plugin. We have made integration for this plugin and you can use CleanTalk anti-spam to protect your Events Manager forms from spam.
