  Hi all

  I’ve got a free wordpress blog and built a contact form from the ‘custom form’ option.

  Contact

  BUT I could find no option to add a capatcha or something that’ll stop spammers making a mess of it.

  Is there a way to add a capatcha or a similar security measure to my contact page?

  Many thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. No, there is no way to add a captcha to your contact form. In any case, your contact form has a built-in spam protection. See here:

  You can see the spam it might have caught under “feedback” in your dashboard.
