## Descripción

No more need for captchas, making your readers jump through hoops in order to comment.
Instead, activate this plugin and let a simple hidden honeypot input field catch
spam bots, which will fill out all fields in the form (even our hidden honeypot 
field). If that honeypot field isn’t empty, the comment won’t process, effectively
nuking most spam comments.

I also made sure that the **id** of the field is utilizing a random string of letters
and numbers every time the page is loaded (ie: _34rscsDW37g8gf_) so that spam bots
can’t target a specific id name in order to bypass it, making it harder for the 
bots to win.

Installation is dead simple, just activate the plugin and you’re done. No other 
steps required on your end, the plugin handles everything.

### Additional info

The basic structure of this plugin was cloned from the [WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate](https://github.com/tommcfarlin/WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate)
project.

This plugin supports the [GitHub Updater](https://github.com/afragen/github-updater)
plugin, so if you install that, this plugin becomes automatically updateable direct
from GitHub. Any submission to WP.org repo will make this redundant.

## Instalación

 1. Uzip the `honeypot-comments.zip` folder.
 2. Upload the `honeypot-comments` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory.
 3. In your WordPress dashboard, head over to the _Plugins_ section.
 4. Activate _Honeypot Comments_.

## FAQ

  Why was this plugin created?

Because I hate captchas and I believe there is an easier way to tackle the spam 
comment issue with WordPress blogs.

  What is the “honeypot” method?

This plugin adds a hidden input field into the WordPress comment section for your
blog posts which is hidden to humans viewing the page. The spambots, however, see
it and add info to it and get tripped up because the plugin will stop any comment
that has the honeypot field filled in.

This will not stop all spammers, but will catch a lot of the bots that are written
to fill out forms automatically since they’ll be filling out the honeypot field 
that this plugin adds in.

### 󠀁[Not effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-effective/)󠁿

 [RoamingPro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/roamingpro/) 3 de Septiembre de 2016

I've been interested in the Honey Pot concept for eliminating SPAM comments. I didn't
really delve into the code of this plugin to see what it was trying to do, all I
know is that it is totally ineffective on several of my sites.

## Historial de cambios

#### 1.1.0

 * Changed the way the ID for the input field was created, as it was [pointed out to me](http://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/283y6p/created_my_first_plugin_honeypot_comments_and/ci77rmf)
   that a sophisticated bot could figure out how I originally had the ID generated
   since it had _honeypot-comments-_ in the ID name.
