"Spam" Community Events

[Joanne]

Our website wants the community to submit so it has allowed anonymous users – non WordPress registered, however, we are open to reconsidering – what does the visitor have to do to “register”?

Also the latest version reCAPTCHA hasn’t impacted us? It is within the past month that these have occurred.

Hi,

Sorry for the SPAM issues. I can give some pointers on registration, but first.

When I visit your Submit Form:

yoursite.com/events/community/add

I do not see the reCAPTCHA activated.

Can you confirm it is active here:

Events > Settings > Community Tab > “reCAPTCHA API Keys”

If you have the keys in maybe try new ones and if that still does not work do you have any customizations that might have added reCAPTCHA before we added it as a feature?

Or any custom Community Event Templates in your theme?

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks

Researched as you instructed and there is no reCAPTCHA API Key filled in. Seems I have to register on Google?
Will keep you posted!
Re Community Event I don’t think there is any customization? (how can I confirm?)

[Brian]

Hi,

Yep the reCAPTCHA keys are from Google and free to use.

If you had customizations it would be in your theme’s functions.php and in this directory of your theme:

yourtheme/tribe-events/
