Installation

  • If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, here’s how.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.2.4 or greater
  • WordPress 4.5 or greater

Settings

After you have activated Antispam Bee the plugin will block spam comments out of the box. However, you may want to visit Settings → Antispam Bee to configure your custom set of anti-spam options that works best for your site.

Privacy Notice

On sites operating from within the EU the option Use a public antispam database should not be activated for privacy reasons. When that option has been activated, Antispam Bee will match full IP addresses from comments against a public spam database. Technically it is not possible to encrypt those IPs, because spam databases only store and operate with complete, unencrypted IP addresses.
