Spam Protection 3.1.3

Spam Protection 3.1.1
- Fixed
- Prevented Maspik fields from being added to forms that submit to external websites.
- Improved settings migration for sites upgraded from version 2, while preserving user-defined settings.
- Developers: exclude a form with a data-maspik-skip attribute, or the new maspik_guard_skip_selector filter.
- Improved
- Browser behaviour now counts for more when blocking spam. As part of InputGate, the cloud examines a range of behaviours and weighs them together with other details of the submission to identify unwanted bots.
- Improved the Verification Key layer description and added a cache reminder when enabling it.

- Improved
- Fixed two bypasses that allowed direct scripted submissions through Divi contact forms. Divi 5 assembles part of a submission in the browser and treats the security token alone as proof a form was sent; Maspik required both that browser-built data and the submit button, so scripted submissions were…

Spam Protection 3.0.3

Spam Protection 3.0.1
- Export the spam log to CSV from the Logs screen, with every submitted field.
- Fixed: dropdowns, dates, numbers and checkboxes are now recorded in the log — in Gravity Forms and every other form plugin.
- Fixed: Honeypot Trap and Advance key check switched on in the MASPIK Dashboard are now applied to the site.
Spam Protection 3.0.0
- Complete rewrite: modern modular architecture (PSR-4, dependency injection) with identical spam-detection behavior, covered by unit and integration tests.
- New admin experience: Dashboard, Protection, Logs, Analytics, Playground, Advanced and Pro screens.
- Detection Trace: every logged submission records which layers ran, passed, were skipped, timed out or blocked it.
- Submission logging: choose to log nothing, blocked submissions only, or all submissions for debugging, with retention by row count and by age.
- One-click rule actions from the log — whitelist a sender, or remove the exact rule that caused a block.
- Direct POST protection: submissions that bypass the site interface are detected and reported to Matrix.
- New integrations: Elementor Atomic Forms, Divi, JetFormBuilder, Formidable, MetForm, Breakdance, Bit Form, BuddyPress, WooCommerce Checkout and WooCommerce Registration.
- WooCommerce checkout protection on both classic and block checkout, with per-gateway control, zero-total orders and a custom blocked-checkout message.
- Improved IP resolution with a proper proxy trust model, including Cloudflare support.
- Per-layer custom error messages.
- Custom PHP forms: new maspik_is_spam() / maspik_check_spam() helpers, so connecting your own form takes one line. Guard fields are handled automatically. The version 2 filter (maspik_validate_custom_form_fields) still works unchanged.
- Translations for Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Hebrew.
- Requires PHP 7.4+.
