Hi Team,

i wonder if the Front-end Forms for content does observe the wordpress comment blocklist to recognize spam.

If yes, cool.
If not, maybe it's a great feature.

Best

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Toolset Forms don't automatically apply filtration for the comment blocklist to content submitted through it.

This can be achieved through custom code, which uses the 'cred_form_validate' hook, to apply custom filtration/validation.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate )

Note: WordPress stores the 'Disallowed Comment Keys' in the options table, under the key/name 'disallowed_keys'. You can use the 'get_option' function to retrieve it:
