I purchased and installed Hello Lily not too long ago, and ever since doing so I am receiving a TON of spam emails that are generated from the contact form on my site. I receive multiple spam emails that are coming through in multiple different foreign languages. Please tell me how to stop this. Is there something written differently in the code of this theme that would invite spammers to do this? I never received anything like this with other themes that I have purchased from you in the past.

All themes are built the same.  It’s just weird timing.  It sounds like the spam bots have hit on the site, it happens from time to time in waves.  You can add a honeypot or captcha to the forms to stop it.
