    Dear Mehmet,

    Sorry to bother once more.
    Since setting up the theme, I am getting a lot of spam mail.
    Is it possible to install a capcha field into the form wrap code?

    Use a plugin like ReCaptcha or SweetCaptcha. Personally I like Sweetcaptcha and it works really well with contact form 7. Just my 2 cents.

    After having installed the SweetCaptcha plugin – how do you set things up properly?

    I have installed the plugin, I also have the Application ID and so on – but the captcha seems not to appear on the contact form. Did I miss something or doing something wrong? In the documention I also can’t find any information. I have installed version 2.5 of the theme.

    Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

    I don’t know that plugin. But the theme has a built-in captcha functionality for the contact form since v2.5.

    [contact_form captcha="yes" to="johnny@doe.com"]

    Hi,

    I installed BookCard WP yesterday and today I got the first SPAM via the contact form. I’m bewildered. On another blog I use Read WP and there the contact page template used the WP comment system. I found this not very handy so I didtched the contact template and created a page with the Jetpack contact form which uses the WP feedback system.

    But using the WP comment system on Read WP has at least the advantage of applying anti-spam mechanisms like akismet (if installed). Would it be possible to make BookCard WP using anti-spam mechanisms besides a captcha?

    And is it possible for me to replace the BookCard WP- Contact form with a Jetpack contact form without messing everything up?

    Ok. Good luck.

    Note: BookCard WP theme has a built-in captcha in its native contact form. You just need to activate it. Also this theme is compatible with Contact Form 7 plugin.

    – Contact form with captcha in BookCard WP theme:

    [contact_form captcha="yes" to="me@mysite.com"]

    Thank you. I just truly hate captchas and I don’t want to bother my readers with them. Not if I can help it. But as long as I can replace the theme form with a Jetpack form, I’m happy.
