Feature
Generic POST / Any Form protection — Protects unknown theme forms and unsupported plugins by scoring front-end POST submissions even without an adapter.
How it works
The core guard runs early, skips wp-admin/REST/AJAX by default, avoids double-handling known adapters, then scores POST fields and enforces policy (block/hold; challenge can be enforced if configured).
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
- Site-wide protection
- Enable “Protect all POST submissions (generic forms)” and save.
Recommended setting
Recommended: ON with “Block on Challenge” ON while tuning.
Generic POST mode catches more vectors; blocking Challenge prevents bot floods until thresholds and allowlists are tuned.
Why you need this
Admins with custom themes, bespoke forms, and niche plugins get protection without waiting for adapters.
