Plugin / Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft

You should go to the Settings page and select the roles, for which you want to hide Google Captcha. Then you must click “Save Changes” button.

Follow the next steps in order to change the appearance of the Google Captcha: 1. Open your WordPress admin dashboard. 2. Navigate to the plugin Settings page. 3. Select reCAPTCHA version. 4. Find the “Theme” option (only available for versions 1 and 2) and select the necessary style from the drop-down list. 5. Save changes and check the result.

You might have a theme where “comments.php” is coded incorrectly. WordPress version matters. (WP2 series): Make sure that you theme contains a tag ID); ?> inside the file /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/comments.php. Most WP2 themes already have it. The best place to put this tag is before the comment text area, you can move it up if it is below the comment text area. (WP3 series): WP3 has a new function comment_form inside of /wp-includes/comment-template.php. Your theme is probably not up-to-date to call that function from “comments.php”. WP3 theme does not need the code line do_action(‘comment_form’… inside of /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/comments.php. Instead it uses a new function call inside of “comments.php”: If you have WP3 and captcha is still missing, make sure your theme has inside of /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/comments.php (please check the Twenty Ten theme’s “comments.php” for proper example).

It depends on the comments form. If the hook call by means of which captcha works (‘after_comment_field’ or something like this) is present in the file comments.php, you can change captcha positioning by moving this hook call. Please find the file ‘comments.php’ in the theme and change position of the line do_action( 'comment_form_after_fields' ); or any similar line – place it under the Submit button. In case there is no such hook in the comments file of your theme, then, unfortunately, this option is not available.

Follow the instructions below in order to add Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) plugin to your custom PHP or HTML form: 1. Install the Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) plugin and activate it. 2. (Optional) If you would like to have an ability to enable and disable the reCAPTCHA for your custom form on the plugin settings page, please add the following code to the ‘functions.php’ file of your theme: function add_custom_recaptcha_forms( $forms ) { $forms['my_custom_form'] = array( "form_name" => "Custom Form Name" ); return $forms; } add_filter( 'gglcptch_add_custom_form', 'add_custom_recaptcha_forms' ); In this example, ‘my_custom_form’ is a slug of your custom form. Please don’t use the following form slugs since they are predefined by plugin settings: login_form, registration_form, reset_pwd_form, comments_form, contact_form, cf7, si_contact_form, jetpack_contact_form, sbscrbr, bbpress_new_topic_form, bbpress_reply_form, buddypress_register, buddypress_comments, buddypress_group, woocommerce_login, woocommerce_register, woocommerce_lost_password, woocommerce_checkout, wpforo_login_form, wpforo_register_form, wpforo_new_topic_form, wpforo_reply_form. – Save file changes; – Go to the “Settings” tab on the plugin settings page (Admin Dashboard -> Google Captcha); If everything is OK, you will see your form in ‘Enable reCAPTCHA for’ => ‘Custom Forms’ (with labels which you specified in the “gglcptch_add_custom_form” hook call function). – Enable it and configure form options as you need; – Click “Save Changes” button; If you don’t add this code, no option for your custom form will be displayed on the plugin settings page and the reCAPTCHA will be always displayed in your custom form. Open the file with the form (where you would like to add reCAPTCHA); Find a place to insert the code for the reCAPTCHA output; If you completed the instructions in p. 2, then you should add: In this example, the second parameter is a slug of your custom form. Otherwise, insert the following line: After that, you should add the following lines to the function of the entered data checking. If you completed the instructions in p. 2, then you should add: In this example, the third parameter is a slug of your custom form. Otherwise, insert the following lines: If there is a variable in the check function responsible for the errors output, you can concatenate variable $check_result to this variable. If the ‘gglcptch_verify_recaptcha’ filter hook returns ‘true’, it means that you have entered the reCAPTCHA answer properly. In all other cases, the function will return the string with the error message. If you have followed all steps, but the problem remains, we can help you to configure your Google Captcha custom form. This will be a paid service since there are a lot of different custom forms and the code should be inserted individually into each of them, so we need some time to study each unique case.
