Deleting wholesale contacts

I've been receiving a lot of spam thru the client reply page on my site. Mostly bitcoin trash. How can I delete all the contacts stored in Backlight? Is there a way to secure the site against these "intruders"?

Pierre, did you enable reCAPTCHA? More at http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … tact_forms

Re: Deleting wholesale contacts

if you're comfortable with changing things in the database, you can delete contacts there.
In the Backlight dashboard, click on phpLiteAdmin.
The password is admin
click on Admin_master database in the upper left column
On the next page, click on Contact in the table
you'll see all the contacts and can delete them there.

Re: Deleting wholesale contacts

I don't use the BL contact page, but a quick look at the docs didn't reveal a question I might have.

Can BL use the Invisible reCAPTCHA?

That's what I would prefer.

It's not set up to use invisible reCAPTCHA.

Thanks, Rod - I deleted all contacts, enabled the reCAPTCHA. Hope I won't get any more of that obnoxious mail.
