Hi,
I’m using this theme for quite a few months now and I do admit that. This theme is awesome; really awesome. Just before few weeks I starts getting spam emails like this (http://i.imgur.com/0iFsRkp.jpg). Previously I never have gotten emails like that from my contact page. This is wired. Also I use the captcha in the contact form too and still I’m getting these crap. Take a look (http://i.imgur.com/YDKm2wr.jpg). Also in this contact form as you can see that the width on the message textarea is smaller that the other elsements width.
So any idea how to make that text area width same to the other elements?
Also how to solve this spam email issue?

Hi, try this custom css to fix textarea width;

.contact-form textarea {
    width: 100%;
}

you will also get a response for captcha issue.

[isaumya]

What response? You mean you will reply about the captcha thing later ?
Thanks for the css man.

[ahmetsali]

i mean our wordpress developer will reply to your other question soon.

[isaumya]

Hi, it is weird. But, I will try to improve the captcha functionality.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey Sali,
After your last update the SPAM emails are gone. But today it started again. Got 2 email spam in my inbox. Take a look – http://i.imgur.com/xRZERDc.jpg
I really don’t understand how is this happening after the captcha?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

I also have that kind of spam email in my inbox. Can you try Contact Form 7 plugin and check your inbox for a few days?

Well I really like the design of your contact form and do not want to mess it up. That is why I’m not risking to use contact form 7.

Cant you make the security of your contact form more hard so that these bots never gets through it…

Beside I do have contact form and gravity form both installed in my system. But I really like the current design approach of the contact form. I think it is better to secure the contact form of the theme itself.

Also I think this is a pretty smart idea to fight this spam bots. Take a look at this: http://nfriedly.com/techblog/2009/11/how-to-build-a-spam-free-contact-forms-without-captchas/

Hey guys,
This is awesome: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html
You people should adopt this in every theme of yours. Google’s No Captca re captcha.
No user frustration -> Awesome design and goes franticly with your theme….

I think this is the best alternative. What do you think sali? let me know…

[isaumya]

Hey guys, are you looking into this matter?

[ahmetsali]

Hi isaumya,

i really liked the first idea, looks efficient and easy to implement, we will use this from now on. Thanks for the feedback.

[isaumya]

It is my pleasure to help you guys. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it on.
Also I’m really sad to see that even in the last update you guys still didnt updated the fontawesome. :(
I’ve reported it 2 updates ago.

[Mehmet S.]

It is on the way. Thanks for your patience.

[Mehmet S.]
