How to Integrate Forms with ActiveLayer in WordPress

Keep WS Form submissions spam-free without adding CAPTCHAs

ActiveLayer adds server-side spam protection to WS Form so submissions can be scored before an entry is saved or an action runs. That helps keep spam out of your entry list and notification emails.

There is no CAPTCHA or browser challenge for visitors to complete. Forms render as you built them, while blocked submissions show a plain inline message.

Protection is enabled per form, with forms protected by default once your API key is connected. In WordPress, ActiveLayer also logs submissions under each form label so you can review blocked and clean checks.

  • Server-side AI scoring

    Each submission is scored on ActiveLayer servers before WS Form saves the entry or runs an action.

  • No CAPTCHAs needed

    Visitors submit your form without puzzles, checkboxes, or extra widgets loading in the browser.

  • Per-form protection

    Protection is on by default and can be turned off for an individual form while other forms stay protected.

  • WS Form is by far the best WordPress form I have used. Without WS Form I would have required a bespoke solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I integrate forms with ActiveLayer in WordPress using WS Form?

WS Form connects with ActiveLayer for spam protection. ActiveLayer checks submissions server-side and can block spam before WS Form saves the entry or runs an action.

What does ActiveLayer do with WS Form submissions?

ActiveLayer scores each submission for spam on the server. A spam verdict can stop the submission before the entry is written and before actions run.

Do visitors have to complete a CAPTCHA?

No. ActiveLayer works without CAPTCHAs, checkboxes, or puzzle challenges, so your form stays as you built it.

What happens when a submission is blocked?

Blocked submissions show a plain WS Form inline message: “Your submission was flagged as spam. Please try again or contact support.” The entry is not saved.

Can I control protection per form?

Yes. Each form is checked only when its protection toggle is on, so you can turn protection off for one form and leave other forms protected.

Are forms protected by default?

Yes. Once your API key is connected, WS Form protection switches on by default for every form.

Can I review checks later?

Yes. ActiveLayer logs submissions, whether blocked or clean, under each form’s label.
