    Hi,

    after checking your prices, I am wondering if I can use Akismet only for the form submission, to be more precise ONLY for the user registration form.

    I use FluentForms to register users on my website and want to limit spam submissions right at the start.

    Is there a setting/way in the dashboard/plugin setting area to use Akismet exclusively for that and not for the comment section?

    This way I can reduce the API calls and settle for a lower end Akismet plan.

    Thank you so much 🙂

    Hi there,

    I don’t think there is an easy way or built-in way to do this because I see in FluentForm’s Akismet documentation that they stipulate “But be notified that you won’t see this option if Akismet is not already activated on the site.”

    What that means is that they rely on the Akismet WordPress plugin, instead of interacting with our API directly. Because the former is originally specifically built to handle comments, achieving this would involve your writing custom code to nullify some of its actions and filters, which would likely require constant maintenance on your end when we upgrade the plugin over time.

    Doesn’t sound like a very viable solution, unfortunately.
