Gravity Forms AbuseIPDB Add-On

The Gravity Forms AbuseIPDB Add-On is a spam protection plugin for WordPress forms. It checks every form entry against a database of reported IP addresses and marks suspicious submissions as spam. You can set your own abuse confidence score threshold and block countries or domains.

Key Features

• IP Score Filtering – Each IP address receives a confidence score from 0 to 100, and any submission above your chosen threshold is marked as spam.
• Country Blocklist – You can block form submissions from specific countries by using country IP codes.
• Domain Blocklist – You can block submissions coming from domains tied to known bad actors.
• Two-Way Reporting – When you mark an entry as spam in WordPress, the IP address is reported back to AbuseIPDB as Web Spam.
• Dynamic Abuse Scores – AbuseIPDB assigns each IP a score based on how recently and how often it has been reported, so filtering reflects current behavior rather than a static list.
• Works with Akismet – The add-on can be combined with Akismet, which checks submissions against a global spam database.
• reCAPTCHA Support – It works alongside Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 for layered spam prevention.
• Honeypot Protection – A hidden field catches bots without affecting real users.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for WordPress site owners who use Gravity Forms and want to reduce spam and fraudulent submissions. It suits anyone who needs to filter form entries by IP reputation, country, or domain, and who wants to combine AbuseIPDB with other anti-spam tools.
