i am trying to make a Honeypot to prevent spam-emails.
i tried to use the following filter, which i found on your support Blog.
//##
function loadtime_func() {
return time();
}
add_shortcode('loadtime', 'loadtime_func');

add_filter('cred_form_validate','honeypot_func',10,2);
function honeypot_func($field_data, $form_data)
{
list($fields,$errors)=$field_data;

if ($form_data['id']==2079)
{
//print_r($fields);
//$loadtime = $_POST["loadtime"];
$loadtime = $fields['loadtime']['value'];
$totaltime = time() - $loadtime;

if($totaltime< 5) {
$errors['loadtime'] = 'Please fill in the form before submitting!';
}
}
//return result
return array($fields,$errors);
}

//##

i used this code but it still sending the mails when i change the honeypot.

thank u in advanced

Hi Mohammed,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Can you point me to the thread where you originally got this code so I can get some context on the use case?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Mohammed,

I would not recommend the use of this code for the spam protection given that this was done perhaps at a time when we didn't have the spam protection integrated into our form.

I would recommend following the instructions below in order to protect your form from spam.

Thanks,
Shane
