Honeypot not working

Gatsman 14 Feb, 2019
Hello, i have created a registration form and the honeypot fails to block auto registration (this morning i had 100+)
I use honeypot in other sites and even in other forms in the same domain and seems to work fine.
Any idea on how i can check if honeypot has any issues of the specific page/form?

Don't use honeypot anymore, it's very easily defeated and can cause problems for legitimate users. Use reCaptcha instead.

Thanks for the tip healyhatman,
I use reCaptche on some of my sites but i believe that spam is a site's problem so, if i can, i want to avoid bothering the user.
I created my own honeypod that seems solid for the time.

If you don't want to bother the user I sell a reCaptcha v3 plugin on my site, so they never see or have to click on anything.

That is good to know, for the times my custom honeypod works but if anything changes i will keep your plugin in mind.
