Gravity Forms 2.7 added improved spam blocking in 2.7. Keep this plugin installed—it won’t hurt, and we’re about to add some great new features soon!  Thanks to Richard Wawrzyniak for the code updates in this release.

• Added: Support for API submissions (which don’t have a form submit action)
• Fixed: Gravity Forms 2.7 support
• Fixed: PHP 8.0 warnings
• Tested with WordPress 6.2

• Tweak: Changed the autocomplete on the hidden field to new-password instead of off. Thanks for the suggestion, Ross!

• Improved: Prevent autocomplete on the hidden field. This may help prevent some reported false-positives.
• Tested with WordPress 6.0.1

• Improved: Don’t check for spam on the Gravity Forms Preview page
• Tested with WordPress 5.9

• New! Added a per-form setting “Prevent spam using Gravity Forms Zero Spam” that enables or disables Gravity Forms Zero Spam from processing! Check out the FAQ to learn how to use this setting. Note: this feature requires Gravity Forms 2.5 or newer.

• Enhancement: Adds an entry note when an entry is marked as spam. Thanks to Gravity Forms for the enhancement!

• Fixed: Entries going to spam on websites that have plugins that override random password generation. Thanks, @thomascharbit!

• Fixed: Script not being correctly loaded using Gravity Forms’ inline JavaScript

• Improved: The JavaScript code that adds the spam-catching field is now output at the same time as Gravity Forms’ inline JavaScript.
  • The script is only loaded when forms are displayed
  • jQuery is always available because Gravity Forms loads it as-needed

• Fixed: All entries marked as spam for AJAX-enabled forms. Sorry, folks! Won’t happen again.
• Went back to using jQuery to listen to form submissions.

• Fixed: JavaScript “null is not an object (evaluating ‘el.addEventListener’)” error on pages without a form

• Improved: No longer requires jQuery
• Fixed: Only checks for spam on submissions that were submitted by a form, not for entries created programatically

The Gravity Forms Zero Spam plugin is now maintained by GravityKit. We look forward to continuing to improve this simple, effective spam blocker for Gravity Forms. Thanks to GoWP for their great work!

• Improved: Only add anti-spam JavaScript when the Gravity Forms plugin is active
• Fixed: Sanitized key, in case there were any unsafe characters generated by overriding the random_password filter.
• Fixed: Made GF_Zero_Spam::deactivate a static method
• Updated: Now using the wp_print_footer_scripts action to add the script (was wp_footer)

• Should fix ‘jQuery undefined’ errors
