This ensures you never lose important leads or messages, even if emails fail to deliver.

🌟 Add a Honeypot Field to Prevent Spam

Our Honeypot Contact Form 7 extension creates a hidden field inside your Contact Form 7 forms. Real users never see it, but bots do—and that’s how the bots fall for the trap. It blocks automated spam before it even hits your inbox.

🌟 Add hCaptcha to Contact Form 7

Protect your forms from spam bots using hCaptcha, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google reCAPTCHA. This extension integrates directly with CF7 and works instantly after setup. No coding is required, and no extra plugins are needed. Just set up your site keys and you’re done.

🌟 Redirect Users After Form Submission

Easily redirect users to any internal or external page after submitting a form. This extension lets you control the post-submission experience with custom URLs, thank-you pages, or marketing funnels. No coding needed configure your redirect URL and it works immediately.

🌟 Send Form Data via Webhooks

Automatically forward your Contact Form 7 submission data to any external service using webhooks.This extension enables seamless API integrations, automation workflows, and third-party connections. No additional plugins or coding required just add your webhook URL and you’re ready to go.

NOTE:
The best thing is that both features work independently. You can run them alone or together based on your site’s needs.

Modificando el HTML producido por Honeypot [AVANZADO]

Aunque los ajustes básicos deberían contentar a la mayoría de las personas, hemos añadido varios filtros para que puedas personalizar aún más el campo del señuelo. Los tres filtros disponibles son:

wpcf7_honeypot_accessibility_message – Ajusta el texto por defecto del mensaje de accesibilidad (oculto) (ahora se puede hacer desde la página de ajustes).
wpcf7_honeypot_container_css – Ajusta el CSS que se aplica al contenedor del señuelo para mantenerlo oculto de la vista.
wpcf7_honeypot_html_output – Ajusta por completo la salida HTML del elemento del señuelo.

This used to be a nice and simple plugin. Now it’s rebranded to CF7 apps with banners, notifications, additional menu items, and pushing other plugins (which I don’t need or want).

jimk1416 4 de noviembre de 2025

Great support and follow up. Worked through an issue until it was resolved in a timely manner. Great plugin, highly recommend.

Abdullah Ramzan 30 de octubre de 2025

If you’re using Contact Form 7, you need this plugin. It quietly stops spam entries without any extra setup — works perfectly and saves tons of time.

Charles 21 de octubre de 2025

Great, fast support from these guys when I mentioned a bug. I use the honeypot and the timecheck to help reduce botspam. Plus now it has form entries, I can delete a separate plugin I was using for that. I don’t use hCaptcha (using Turnstile instead), so can’t comment on that area. I see a lot of people saying they still get spam, but I’d expect that if they are only using this plugin. This plugin is just one part of the puzzle. I get zero spam from my forms because I use the following.

Once a simple, excellent plugin. Now bloated and overcomplicated. Very sad.

Roberto Vazquez 3 de septiembre de 2025 1 respuesta

Long time user of the plugin in multiple websites now in search for an alternative. The takeover has been rough and now i have another plugin claiming space in the menu. I guess everything was according to the rules but still feels wrong.
