Description
FormThrottle Logger helps reduce spam and repeated form abuse by limiting how many submissions a single IP address can make within a chosen time period for Gravity Forms and Contact Form 7.
Features:
* Monitors submissions by IP address for Gravity Forms and Contact Form 7
* Blocks repeat offenders once the configured threshold is reached
* Logs the IP address, form ID, source type, reason, and timestamp
* Adds a log screen in the plugin admin menu for reviewing blocked attempts
* Lets you choose which integrations are protected and configure the threshold and time window
