Gravity Forms Zero Spam

Gravity Forms 2.7 added functionality that has similar features to this plugin. However, Zero Spam includes spam summary email reports, which Gravity Forms does not—keep this plugin installed!

Yes, you can use this plugin in combination with all other spam-blocking plugins, including:

• Gravity Forms’ Google reCAPTCHA feature
• WPBruiser
• Akismet
• Gravity Forms’ honeypot fields
• GravityCAPTCHA
• CleanTalk
• WP Armor
• fail2ban

Zero Spam will not interfere with the operation of those plugins. It also doesn’t interfere with Gravity Forms’ built-in honeypot functionality.

This works with all Gravity Forms releases after v2.3 (released June 2017).

No. For that, we recommend Ben Marshall’s WordPress Zero Spam plugin.

1. Go to the form
2. Click on Settings
3. Under Form Options, disable “Prevent spam using Gravity Forms Zero Spam” (Don’t see the setting? This feature requires Gravity Forms 2.5 or newer)
4. Save the settings

New form submissions will not be checked using Zero Spam.

To disable by default, from your Dashboard, go to Forms, then Settings, then the Zero Spam tab. Under the Enable Zero Spam by Default setting, choose Disabled, then save the form.

Once you have saved the setting, to enable for specific forms:

1. Go to the form
2. Click on Settings
3. Under Form Options, enable “Prevent spam using Gravity Forms Zero Spam” (Don’t see the setting? This feature requires Gravity Forms 2.5 or newer)
4. Save the settings

Now that form will use Zero Spam.

Yes, it is! It’ll block your spam from PHP 5.4–PHP 8.1. PHP 8.2 or 8.3 have not been tested.

First, deactivate and reactivate the plugin. Then let us know on the WordPress.org support forum!

You can enable a spam summary report email, sent to the email address configured in the Spam Summary Email setting.

To configure that setting, click on the Gravity Forms Forms menu, click Settings, then click the Zero Spam tab. You will see the Spam Summary Email setting there.

Yes! When this plugin marks an entry as spam, it prevents processing of any configured notifications and add-on feeds. When an entry is marked as spam, it also prevents use of the configured confirmation. Users who submit an entry marked as spam will see the default Gravity Forms “Thanks for contacting us! We will get in touch with you shortly.” confirmation text instead.
