I wanted to show my horses for sale page, and when I viewed it, there was x rated text on there.
How did someone do that. I don't have the submission page available to public? I deleted those entries, but won't to keep anyone else from publishing any information. This is my own site and. no one uses it but me. I do have clients that use this system, so I need to protect everyone.

Hi there,

From the Toolset point of view, the only way to submit content is via Toolset Forms.

I suggest that you make sure you enable the captcha functionality to your forms:

But as a general rule, you need to take WordPress security as a whole and make it secure.

The Google search below might be a good start for your research:

Thank you.

Well my forms are not made public, since I am the only one that submits the information. But I guess I can add the captcha to it anyways. But then again, anyone can still fill out the form. I'll read your links you sent and try to figure out more.
thanks.

Hi there,

If there are certain users that have access to the form you can use the method below:

But the captcha is still needed to avoid any sort of bot somehow accessing the form.

Thank you.
