CleanTalk and Formidable Forms

Hi,

There seems to be a bug in the integration from CleanTalk to Formidable Forms.

When I turn off CleanTalk then Google ReCAPTCHA in Formidable Forms works.

When I turn on CleanTalk it somehow disables Google ReCAPTCHA and/or Formidable’s hidden spam trap and I get spam entries in CleanTalk – which I have to sometimes look at because of possible false positives.

For example, I didn’t see any passed request in Google’s ReCAPTCHA console for this successful spam submission:

84.17.48.194 – – [01/May/2020:09:50:51 -0500] “GET / HTTP/1.0” 301 706 “https://example.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.84 Safari/537.36”
84.17.48.194 – – [01/May/2020:09:50:52 -0500] “GET / HTTP/1.0” 200 38141 “https://www.example.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.84 Safari/537.36”
84.17.48.194 – – [01/May/2020:09:50:53 -0500] “GET /contact/ HTTP/1.0” 200 35685 “https://www.example.com/contact/” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.84 Safari/537.36”
84.17.48.194 – – [01/May/2020:09:50:54 -0500] “POST /contact/ HTTP/1.0” 200 37116 “https://www.example.com/contact/” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.84 Safari/537.36”

It’s automated spam, there’s only 1 second between getting the contact page and submitting the form.

I tested the whole thing for a few weeks and it seems it’s related to code from CleanTalk and not from Formidable.

It would be nice if the Google ReCAPTCHA function (and maybe it’s also the Formidable hidden field) would still work when I’m using Formidable Forms with CleanTalk. That way I would get less spam in the first place, and the remaining spam would be dealt with by CleanTalk.

Thank you!
