Hi i have a guestbook and i am receiving lots of spam everyday (I am using reCaptcha). Now I have removed the link to the guestbook and i am still receiving spam. I have looked in the log file and i think the guestbook is still accessible from this link. "/?option=com_phocaguestbook&id=1"
IS this a bug

Re: No link to guestbook. Spam anyway
Hi, see:
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/3-phoca-g ... -from-spam
Just follow the guide and set the Phoca Guestbook (e.g. disable posting so the guestbook will be not accessible)
E.g. "Specific Itemid - normally, extensions can be accessed with different Itemids in frontend of Joomla! site. If specific Itemid will be set, posts can be stored by only selected menu link(s) (Itemid = Id of menu link). This is very important - it prevents from loading all guestbook items or loading guestbook form without protection methods for spam robots. Spam robots use different Itemids to access Joomla! extensions."
will prevent from it.
