    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…

    Does CleanTalk protect against donors emails leak?

    In July 2025, a vulnerability in GiveWP led to an email data leak of Pihole 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.

    What additional anti-spam tools are available for User Registration & Membership?

    On this day on the market there are a few more tools to protect User Registration & Membership against spam bots. As well as this plugin has some built-in tools. Let’s see what we have,

    1. This plugin has built-in integration with Google reCaptcha version 2 and 3. reCAPTCHA by Google helps protect WordPress registration forms from spam by verifying that users are real people using behavioral analysis or interactive challenges. It blocks automated bot sign-ups and reduces fake registrations while allowing legitimate users to register securely.
      The settings located are here WordPress console -> User Registration & Membership -> Registration & Login -> Captcha. The Site and Secret keys are available on website.
    2. The next tool is hCaptcha. hCaptcha is a privacy-focused CAPTCHA solution that protects WordPress registration forms from spam by requiring users to complete human verification challenges, helping block automated bot sign-ups. Unlike reCAPTCHA by Google, hCaptcha places stronger emphasis on user privacy and data control, making it a popular alternative for websites that want effective spam protection with less tracking.
      The settings located are here WordPress console -> User Registration & Membership -> Registration & Login -> Captcha. The Site Key and Secret key are available on website.
    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. Unlike reCAPTCHA, Turnstile is designed to be privacy-friendly and frictionless, reducing spam registrations while keeping the signup process seamless for real users.
      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.
    4. There are also bunch of universal anti-spam plugins like Simple CAPTCHA Alternative by Elliot Sowersby, WP Armour and etc. All of them can be found on wordpress.org.

    As my research shows there is no plugins or direct integration with Akismet.

    I have questions…

    What if I don’t use User Registration & Membership plugin, but still have spam registrations (users)?

    In this case, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk is the best way to get rid of standard wordpress registration forms spam.

    Does this guide work for WPforo plugin?

    No, it does not. Read this guide instead to protect WPforo Forum against spam registrations.

    How about spam protection for s2Member plugin?

  • How Spam Activity Changes Over Time — and Why It’s Not Related to License Expiration

    How Spam Activity Changes Over Time — and Why It’s Not Related to License Expiration

    From time to time, website owners report a sudden increase in spam activity and try to link it to plugin settings, hosting, or license status.
    However, these assumptions often overlook how dynamic spam behavior truly is.
    To illustrate this, I conducted a small study analyzing spam distribution over time using data from several of our WordPress sites.

    First, I’ll look at data for three of our WordPress sites, which host our themed blogs. The statistics are for the year.

    1. Our blog, ClanTalk Anti-Spam and Security https://blog.cleantalk.org/

    The screenshot shows the statistics for the year.
    As you can see from the graph, the number of spam attacks isn’t linear, but fluctuates from month to month. Only since August has there been any stability, and the number of spam attacks has been more or less consistent.

    All time 10 979 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 17 AM
    All time 10 979 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 17 AM

    2. Our blog, research.cleantalk.org


    The graph shows an increase in spam attacks at the beginning of the year, followed by a decline to almost zero. However, in May, there is a peak in spam attacks, followed by a sharp decline. Subsequently, there is a slight increase in spam attacks.

    3. Our blog, blog.doboard.com


    The blog was launched recently, and from the very beginning, it was clear that the number of spam attacks was high, but after some time, there was a decrease.

    4. Personal WordPress Test Site


    The following graph shows statistics for my personal WordPress site, which I use for testing.
    The graph shows a steady increase, peaking in May and then declining.

    All time 19 510 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 19 AM
    All time 19 510 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 19 AM

    What Does This Tell Us?

    Based on this data, I can draw the following conclusions:
    the number of spam attacks does not show any trend, other than a possible seasonal factor.


    The number of spam attacks may not be linear from month to month or even from day to day. At some points, there may be more, at others, fewer. A low-traffic site like my test site can receive a much higher number of spam attacks than a site with more traffic, a larger number of articles, and a higher search engine ranking.

    What I did next?

    Now let’s talk about how a user can evaluate the difference between the amount of spam a client sees while using an anti-spam service and when the license expires.

    First, as you can see on our new site, the number of spam attacks increases as it gets added to spam lists.

    Second, when a client installs the CleanTalk Anti-Spam plugin, we have the SpamFireWall option. This option blocks spammers before they reach the site.

    CleanTalk Anti Spam Dashboard 10 21 2025 11 20 AM
    CleanTalk Anti Spam Dashboard 10 21 2025 11 20 AM

    As you can see from this table, we currently receive 12-14 spam attacks per day. These requests can be found, for example, in the spam folder on their site. On average, there were 57 spam attacks per week, and SpamFireWall (SFW) blocked another 350.

    Then, I disabled SFW, and the number of spam attacks reaching the website form immediately increased to 120 on average. So, we see that when using SFW, 50% of spam attacks reach the website and forms, and the remaining spam attacks were stopped by SFW and simply didn’t reach the website.

    Therefore, when assessing the amount of spam, we must also take into account the portion of SFW traffic that simply didn’t reach the website forms. You can track statistics for your sites in the Trends section of the ClanTalk Dashboard.

    To summarize

    The number of spam attacks is not constant and can be higher or lower. Also, when using SFW, you only see a portion of the spam reaching the forms on your website. Having or not having a CleanTalk license doesn’t affect the number of spam attacks.

  • Client Review: Climate Change Dispatch

    Client Review: Climate Change Dispatch

    We are happy to share feedback from one of our clients — Thomas, the owner of climatechangedispatch.com

    Great support, even better spam killer

    I was using Akismet for WordPress for years until I found Cleantalk. I got an email from Automaticc, which owns Akismet and Jetpack, stating that because I had some ads on my site, I had to pay a ridiculous amount of money. They gave me 30 days. I switched to Cleantalk as it was cheaper, and the difference was amazing.
    Not only did it catch spam, but the personal blacklists are a timesaver. No more hits or misses from imprecise wording in the Discussion settings. And the support is absolutely superb. The few times I’ve needed them, they were prompt and fantastic. The firewall and bot-crawler features are also a timesaver. Did you know that auto-bots crawl your site and slow it down? I’m talking spammy bots looking for email addies. This plugin stops them. And also prevents spam after spam from getting through via rate limiting. Try it out, and I swear you will rarely, if ever, have to get rid of spam manually. It’s that good!

    We thank Thomas for his detailed feedback and trust in CleanTalk.
    It’s always a pleasure to hear that our service helps clients protect their websites and save time.

  • Prevent for User Enumeration on WordPress

    Prevent for User Enumeration on WordPress

    I’m happy to announce option Prevent collecting of authors logins which you can find under settings,

    WordPress console -> Settings -> Security by CleanTalk -> General Settings

    This option disables users IDs enumeration in your WordPress. So, it stands against brute force for authors names. Here is example how the enumeration works in the plain WordPress,

    https://blog.cleantalk.org/?author=1

    By executing such links, an attacker brute forces users list on a site to get valid IDs and use it in further attacks.

    If you turn option Prevent collecting of authors logins on, the plugin disable enumeration by showing a blank page instead of valid page of author. URL for the blank page like this,

    Awesome! It works!

    I’ve used clean talk probably for about 15 years, used it on dozens of sites, and while running both antispam and the security modules the sites were being attacked constantly, but the Country level blocking snips that probing off before they can try to compromise the site. No more malicious registrations or submissions. The support has been consistent and excellent, a rarity indeed.
