Support Contact Form plugins

See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/antispam-bee-and-contact-form-7

Perhaps we could provide support for other contact forms plugin in general, e.g. GF and Ninja Forms.

It is an interesting thought. I would tend to keep the plugin itself a bit more cleaner. One reason is, we shouldnt put the plugin in too many dependencies (CF7 changes something, Antispambee has to react). Instead I would like to extend ASB in a way 3rd parties could use ASB as a tool to qualify spam send through CF7/Ninja/GF... forms.

I really like the idea of ASB as a antispam hub for WordPress. But I agree with @websupporter, that such functionality should be provided by ASB-extensions, not the core plugin itself. This is true for form plugins, as well as bbPresss #23 and user registration #35.

This would be a really nice enhancement for ASB! 👍 Are there any extensions already for this?

[krafit]

Hej @tholu. No we can't really process forms other than core comment forms at the moment. We are currently planning on ASB 3.0 and a main feature for this release will be extensibility 🎉

So please stay tuned :)

@krafit Great, looking forward to it! This will make one of the core features of Akismet replaceable with Antispam Bee.

There is already a plugin for this with a similar approach:

Contact Form 7 also integrates ReCaptcha v3 now, which works really good.

Because of the recent EU rulings, we are actively looking for a locally hosted spam solution for DIVI forms, and adding this extensibility to Antispam Bee would make it the first real solution we have found 🎉
