  Hi there,

  Our contact forms (which you are able to create through the Visual Editor) run all responses through our Akismet anti-spam program. It should catch as much spam as possible, however there will always be some which slips through. If you could make sure that you mark any which does as “spam,” it will help us improve our filters and catch more spam going forward.

  Hi

  I have had almost no spam till now.

  But suddenly, I seem to be getting loads of spam but only through one particular contact form.

  I have marked all the spam from this particular contact form.

  Can you please take a look and tell me if something is the problem with this particular contact form ?

  Thanks for your help.
