Frequently Asked Questions

Does Antispam Bee prevents spam registrations or protects form plugins?

Antispam Bee works best with default WordPress comments. It does not help to protect form plugins and does not prevent spam registrations. Hopefully we can provide better hooks for third party plugins to use Antispam Bee to fill this gap in the forthcoming new major version.

Does Antispam Bee work with Jetpack, wpDiscuz, Disqus Comments and similar comment plugins?

Antispam Bee works best with default WordPress comments. It is not compatible with Jetpack, wpDiscuz or Disqus Comments as those plugins load a new comment form within an iframe. Thus Antispam Bee can not access the comment form directly.
