## 外掛說明

MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection is a privacy-conscious, standalone form protection
plugin for WordPress. It protects contact forms and lead forms without forcing visitors
through intrusive captcha challenges and without requiring an external verification
service.

The core protection flow runs locally inside WordPress. It does not require Google
reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile or another third-party captcha provider. This makes
the plugin especially useful for GDPR-conscious websites that want to reduce external
dependencies and avoid sending visitor interaction data to external anti-spam services.

Instead of relying on one simple honeypot field, the plugin uses a modular, signal-
based protection model. It combines server-side validation, form state checks, timing
signals, honeypot fields, behavioral indicators and integration-specific context.
These signals are scored together, so automated submissions can be evaluated more
accurately than with a single check alone.

The plugin is lightweight and performance-conscious. The protection logic is handled
locally in WordPress and does not add heavy frontend dependencies or external captcha
requests to your forms.

The free core plugin includes the shared protection engine, base signal checks, 
honeypot checks, Contact Form 7 integration and an admin log view. Additional integrations
and advanced policy controls can be added through separate extension plugins.

#### Key Features

 * Privacy-conscious form protection for WordPress.
 * Standalone local protection flow without external captcha services.
 * No Google reCAPTCHA or third-party verification service required.
 * Contact Form 7 integration included in the free plugin.
 * Multi-signal scoring for timing, form state, behavior and submission context.
 * Honeypot checks combined with behavioral and request-context analysis.
 * Server-side validation inside WordPress.
 * Structured logs for reviewing blocked and accepted submissions.
 * Configurable log retention and maintenance actions.
 * Lightweight checks without heavy frontend dependencies.
 * Extension-ready architecture for additional form builders and advanced controls.

#### Included Modules

 * Forms Protection Core: shared validation engine, signal matrix, logging and admin
   screens.
 * Base Signals: common runtime and request checks used by the protection engine.
 * Honeypots: hidden-field checks for automated bot submissions.
 * Contact Form 7: integration layer for Contact Form 7 forms.

#### Optional Extensions

MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection is built as a modular system. Additional plugin
packages can add more integrations or advanced configuration without changing the
free core plugin.

Examples of optional extensions include:

 * MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection for Bricks.
 * MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection Pro.

These extensions are not required for the free plugin to protect supported forms.

#### Privacy

The plugin is designed for privacy-conscious and GDPR-conscious WordPress websites.

The core protection flow processes form protection signals locally inside WordPress.
It does not require a third-party captcha provider and does not send visitor interaction
data to an external verification service.

The plugin can store log entries in WordPress for administrative review. These logs
help site owners understand accepted and blocked submissions. Site owners should
configure log retention according to their own privacy policy and legal requirements.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.5 or higher.
 * PHP 8.1 or higher.
 * MCD Tools installed and activated.

## 常見問題集

### Does the plugin require an external captcha service?

No. The core protection flow does not require Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile
or another external captcha provider. It uses local server-side checks, runtime 
signals, form state validation and honeypot fields.

### Is the plugin suitable for GDPR-conscious websites?

Yes. The plugin is designed for privacy-conscious and GDPR-conscious WordPress websites.
The core protection flow runs locally inside WordPress and does not send visitor
interaction data to an external verification service.

Site owners are still responsible for their own privacy policy, legal setup and 
log retention configuration.

### Does the plugin support Contact Form 7?

Yes. Contact Form 7 integration is included in the free plugin.

### Does the plugin support Bricks or BricksForge forms?

Bricks and BricksForge support can be provided by the separate MAD CAT Design® Forms
Protection for Bricks extension.

### What happens if an extension is not installed?

The free core plugin continues to work with its included modules. Optional extension
modules are only loaded when their extension plugin is installed and active.

### Can I review blocked submissions?

Yes. The plugin includes an admin log view for reviewing form protection decisions
and related signal details.

### Does the plugin replace every anti-spam solution?

No anti-spam solution can guarantee 100% protection. MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection
adds a practical local protection layer for WordPress forms by combining several
lightweight signals instead of relying on one single check.
