By Peter ShawLH Zero Spam Plugin
Zero Spam makes blocking spam comments and registrations easy.
Why should your users prove that they’re humans by filling out captchas? Let bots prove they’re not bots with the LH Zero Spam plugin.
LH Zero Spam blocks registration spam and spam in comments automatically without any config or setup. Zero Spam was initially built based on the work by David Walsh, but enhanced with simpler code base and unobtrusive JavaScript.
Major features in LH Zero Spam include:
- No captcha, because spam is not users’ problem
- No moderation queues, because spam is not administrators’ problem
- Blocks spam registrations & comments with the use of JavaScript
- Blocks buddypress spam registrations with the use of JavaScript
- Blocks woocommerce spam orders with the use of JavaScript

FAQ

Yes it protects from spam wp-register registrations.
Yes as of version 1.08 this will protect from Buddypress registrations. Note is requires the bp_before_account_details_fields hook, must reputable themes include this hook.
Yes as of version 1.10 this will protect from Woocommerce spam order registrations.
LH Zero Spam, and all https://lhero.org plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones).
If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfifteen, twentysixteen etc.
If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-zero-spam/. I look there regularly and resolve most queries.
