The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Antispam Bee works best with default WordPress comments. It does not help to protect form plugins and does not prevent spam registrations. Hopefully we can provide better hooks for third party plugins to use Antispam Bee to fill this gap in the forthcoming new major version.
Antispam Bee works best with default WordPress comments. It is not compatible with Jetpack, wpDiscuz or Disqus Comments as those plugins load a new comment form within an iframe. Thus Antispam Bee can not access the comment form directly.
Whether Antispam Bee works with a comment form submitted via AJAX depends on how the AJAX request is made. If the request goes to the file that usually also receives the comments, Antispam Bee could work with it out of the box (the WP Ajaxify Comments plugin does this, for example).
Antispam Bee hides its honeypot field with inline styles. If your site sends a Content Security Policy that does not allow inline styles (a style-src directive without 'unsafe-inline'), the browser drops those styles and the field becomes visible to your visitors.
Use the antispam_bee_honeypot_styles filter to return an empty string, so no inline styles are rendered at all:
Antispam Bee is developed in Europe. You might have heard we can be a bit nitpicky over here when it comes to privacy. The plugin does not save private user data and is 100% compliant with GDPR.
No, the plugin works as is. You may want to configure your favorite settings, though.
