ParticipantHi!
We get a lot of Emails from our Webzine Theme Page (no contact, only Spam). How we can fix this problem? If we post a new article, we get an email and from spam bots too.
Thanks

I cant understand why we get so much spam and if we blog a post or change something on our Blog we get emails too.
ThanksNovember 7, 2013 at 5:41 am #1393Did you set the Verification Question/answer ? Could you paste your website url?

ParticipantThanks for the support, check your website: http://bit.ly/191ZBOK
November 8, 2013 at 3:29 am #1397The verification Question/answer(http://d.pr/i/TK5d) doesn’t work? I want to know if that the verification can stop the spam mail.

ParticipantI think we get spam from the wordpress theme and not from the contact form – like invisible comments on the page or other thinks? Can you post me a few configurations for wordpress for “anti spam” like no comments allowed (not only invisible) and other?
Thanks very much!
November 9, 2013 at 5:14 am #1407From the content format of mail you pasted, they should be from the contact form.
Please change the verification question/answer in theme option(webzine/footer http://d.pr/i/khJI ).
For comment spam, you can try to install some anti-spam comment wp plugin

ParticipantHey, I’m having the same problem. In the footer options, I only have a check box for “Enable Random Verify Number” and this doesn’t seem to work.
March 5, 2014 at 9:23 am #2626hi birdwatching,
we’ll try to find a new way.
