WordPress Contact Form 7 Honeypot – No plugin needed

Just add an extra field:

[textarea* your-message2 maxlength:1 default:"h"]

Then, hide this field by adding the following custom css to the Extra CSS tab in your theme:

textarea[name="your-message2"] { display: none !important; }

That’s it.

Now, the bots want to fill out field your-message2 with a lot of info, while it should be exactly the character “h”.

Hopefully, it works.
