This section helps you block bots from spamming your website’s form. It uses a tool from Google to check if a real person is trying to submit the form.
Enable reCAPTCHA on Signup
- There is a switch labeled “Enable reCAPTCHA” to control this feature.
reCAPTCHA Version
You can choose between two versions of this method:
- v2: Usually shows the familiar “I’m not a robot” checkbox.
- v3: Works silently in the background without bothering your users unless it detects suspicious behavior.
Enter Your Keys (Site Key & Secret Key)
To make these features work, you need two special codes from Google.
- Site Key: This is a public code that goes into your website’s form.
- Secret Key: This is a private code that stays on your server (in the plugin settings) to verify the check.
How to fill this out:
- You will need to get these keys for free from the Google reCAPTCHA website.
- Once you have them, copy and paste the “Site Key” into the first box.
- Copy and paste the “Secret Key” into the second box.
reCAPTCHA verification failed
- Use this box to change the message people see when they fail the security check. This message appears if someone gets the puzzle wrong or if the system thinks they are a robot. A default message is pre-filled in the text box, but you can overwrite it with your own custom text.
Can not connect to server
- Use this box to write a message for when the security check doesn’t work. This error might show up if your internet is down or if a security setting is stopping the connection. There is already a default message here, but you can change it.
reCAPTCHA Field Title
- This setting allows you to change the text label that appears above the checkbox on your form. The default text is already set. You can change it too.
reCAPTCHA Theme
- You can select Light or Dark theme based on your preferences
reCAPTCHA Size
- You can select Normal or Compact size based on your preference
No-Conflict Mode
- Enable No-Conflict Mode to prevent conflict from other themes or plugins and ensure your system runs smoothly.
