    • Cloud explanation for the decision.

    Anti-Spam log in the CleanTalk's Dashboard.

    The Dashboard and Anti-Spam log is here.

    What additional anti-spam tools are available for GiveWP?

    Here are a few more tools on the market,

    1. Akismet is a cloud-based anti-spam service that works in the background and has excellent compatibility with WordPress. Most importantly, the GiveWP team has included Akismet integration directly in the core of the plugin, providing a seamless user experience for those who choose Akismet as their anti-spam solution. Akismet settings are located under WordPress console -> GiveWP -> Settings -> Advanced -> Akismet SPAM Protection. Here is full guide how to setup protection.
    2. Honeypot anti-spam techniques protect websites by adding invisible form fields that real users never see but spambots automatically fill in. When these hidden fields are completed, the submission is flagged and blocked, stopping spam without CAPTCHAs or user interaction. GiveWP has built-in honeypot which is located under settings WordPress console -> GiveWP -> Settings -> Security -> Enable Honeypot Field. This option is On in default setting, so should filter some primitive spam bots out of the box.
    3. reCAPTCHA is a spam protection technology by Google that helps protect WordPress websites by distinguishing real users from bots using challenges or behavioral analysis. It reduces automated spam submissions but may require user interaction, such as clicking a checkbox or solving a challenge. GiveWP supports reCaptcha in the core and settings are located by path WordPress console -> GiveWP -> Settings -> General -> Access Control -> reCaptcha. The first step to activate this protection is getting Site and Secret keys, which are available on website.
    4. Turnstile by Cloudflare is another great anti-spam tool which is available for GiveWP. Protects WordPress websites by verifying visitors automatically without CAPTCHAs or puzzles. It blocks bots using browser and behavioral signals while keeping the experience seamless for real users. One drawback is to use Turnstile user must install extra plugin – ‘Give – Cloudflare Turnstile’. The full guide is here.
    5. And we have bunch of standalone, universal, all-in-one plugins like Zero Spam, OOPSpam, hCaptcha for WP which provide anti-spam protection for GiveWP as well. Here is a link to download one of them.

    Here are screenshots for tools above.

    I have questions…

    Is CleanTalk protects against donors email leak?

    In July 2025, a vulnerability in GiveWP led to an email data leak of Pi-hole donators. Yes, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk helps protect against such issues. In this case, email addresses were exposed in the HTML code, even though they were invisible on public pages. The plugin prevents this by obfuscating email addresses by default.

    We received hundreds of spam donations immediately after installing GiveWP plugin. How to fix it?

    If you do not have specific anti-spam tool installed. Increasing the minimum donation amount can help stop spam, as bots usually test forms with small payments like $1–$5. Setting a $10+ minimum helps filter out these low-effort automated attacks.

    A donor is trying to submit recurring donations but the transaction isn’t being processed because the donor’s email is considered spam.

    False/positives sometimes happen. In this case just post a support ticket or put this donor in Allow list.

    Final thoughts

    I hope this guide helped resolve all spam issues on your donation form. If not, Sign Up for an account and our CleanTalk team will be happy to help.

    3. Next is Turnstile by Cloudflare. It protects WordPress registration forms from spam by automatically verifying visitors using browser and behavioral signals without showing CAPTCHA challenges.

      The settings located are unde same path as tools before WordPress console -> User Registration & Membership -> Registration & Login -> Captcha. The Site Key and Secret key are available on website.

  • Stop Fake Emails: CleanTalk’s New Non-Existent Email Notification

    Stop Fake Emails: CleanTalk’s New Non-Existent Email Notification

    Spammers often use fake email addresses to hide their identities and avoid consequences for their actions. This can lead to a deluge of spam comments, registrations, and other unwanted activity on your website. To combat this, CleanTalk Anti-Spam has always had a powerful feature: Non-Existent Email Notification. But now, this feature has evolved to a new form—to be useful not only for site owners but also for site visitors! 

    Now, if the email you’ve entered into a form is somehow non-existent (for example, you made a typo in it), you’ll see it right away. No confusion, no hassles, no pain!

    How it Works:

    When a user submits a form (such as a comment or registration form) on your website, CleanTalk’s system instantly checks the validity of the provided email address. If the email address is found to be non-existent or invalid, the user will receive an immediate notification. 

    An email is existent.

    An email is non-existent.

    Benefits:

    • Real-time feedback: This provides immediate alerts as you type, highlighting potential errors or typos in your email address.
    • Simple visual cues: Clear indicators like checkmarks or warning icons can quickly show whether an email address is valid or invalid.

    Experience the Difference

    By implementing CleanTalk’s Non-Existent Email Notification feature, you can significantly enhance the usability of your website while minimizing the impact of spam, and a new aspect of this feature provides even more comfort for your visitors!

  • Attention CleanTalk Anti-Spam Users! Important Update Regarding Public Widget

    Attention CleanTalk Anti-Spam Users! Important Update Regarding Public Widget

    We’re writing to inform you that the public widget for CleanTalk Anti-Spam will be removed from the plugin and no longer be supported after August 1, 2024.

    What does this mean for you?

    The public widget, which is typically displayed on public pages and demonstrates the number of spam attacks, is no longer considered compatible with modern WordPress development practices and has seen low user demand. As a result, we’re removing it from the plugin to ensure optimal performance, streamline the user experience, and focus on core functionalities. This removal also helps us stay aligned with future WordPress versions.

    What action should you take?

    While the public widget will no longer be available after August 1, 2024, CleanTalk Anti-Spam’s core functionality remains unchanged and will continue to provide robust spam protection for your WordPress site.

    Here’s what you can do:

    1. No action required: If you don’t utilize the public widget, you don’t need to take any further action. CleanTalk Anti-Spam will continue to operate seamlessly.
    2. Review alternative widget usage: If you’ve been using the public widget, we recommend exploring alternative methods for interacting with CleanTalk Anti-Spam’s features. These may include accessing settings pages or utilizing shortcodes.

    Affiliate Program Guidance

    If you’ve been using the public widget to promote the CleanTalk AntiSpam Affiliate program, we recommend transitioning to using Affiliate links along with our banner. This method provides a more streamlined and effective way to promote the program.

    To get started with Affiliate links:

    1. Access your CleanTalk Affiliate Dashboard: Log in to your CleanTalk account and navigate to the Affiliate program section.
    2. Generate your Affiliate link: Your unique Affiliate link is provided within the dashboard. Copy this link for use in your promotional materials.
    3. Utilize our Affiliate banner: We offer a visually appealing banner that you can include alongside your Affiliate link. Download the banner from the Affiliate dashboard.
    4. Promote your Affiliate link and banner: Share your Affiliate link and banner on your website, social media channels, or other relevant platforms. When a visitor clicks on your link and signs up for CleanTalk AntiSpam, you’ll earn a commission.

    By transitioning to Affiliate links and our banner, you can continue to effectively promote the CleanTalk AntiSpam Affiliate program while aligning with the updated public widget removal.

    We understand that change can be challenging, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance the CleanTalk Anti-Spam experience.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
