reCAPTCHA Jetpack

Description

Jetpack makes it easy to add contact forms to your WordPress site, but you may want a simple way to add a Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam. This plugin will manipulate the Jetpack [contact-form] shortcode to prepend the Google script, add a button, and parse the response.

This plugin allows both reCAPTCHA v2 and invisible reCAPTCHA (see screenshots and choose whatever works for you!).

This plugin is open source on GitHub!

Works with Classic Editor only

GenealogyCoach July 22, 2020

The plugin seems to work fine with the Classic Editor. This plugin has not been updated to handle how the Block Editor inserts the contact form. It inserts the reCAPTCHA code by looking for the [contact-form]…[/contact-form] tags. That works, if you insert the form with the Classic Editor. I will be updating this plugin to work with the Block Editor for my own purposes, and will either collaborate with the current author or will release the revised code under the GPL license. (I prefer to collaborate!) I may also implement V3 reCAPTCHA if I have the time…

Plugin abandoned?

I can′t believe Jetpack has amazing forms finally working fine, but I can′t use them because there is not a single plugin that integrates recaptcha with them. This one looked promising, but the form keeps loading without being able to validate the user.

It’s working!

Very simple to configure, works very well in Wordpress 5.1.1 and Jetpack 7.1.1.

Exactly what I needed

My blog is much to small to justify paying to Akismet, but I was still get 2-5 spam emails a day through my contact form. I added this little plugin and that stopped completely. It loads on desktop and mobile for my twentysixteen theme. Just be aware that if a country blocks Google’s servers (eg China) then they won’t see a reCaptcha and won’t be able to send you a message. Thanks very much dev!

Work as expected
