Add ReCAPTCHA in the custom registration form

    Hi,

    I recently decided to add the Google reCAPTCHA tool on my website’s registration page so that the users have to solve the CAPTCHA at the time of registration. So simply I installed the best plugin in this field, i.e. BestWebSoft’s Google captcha plugin.

    But the problem is it didn’t appear on the registration form in the frontend of the website.

    Here are some info that might be helpful here –
    1. I have the latest version of WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, and other plugins, including this plugin.

    2. I use my website theme in the registration form, i.e. not using the one with WordPress Logo on it.

    3. I have registered on the Google reCAPTCHA and correctly linked my website domain with it.

    4. On the backend when I test the reCAPTCHA (there is an option on the plugin settings to do this) it shows okay. But still there is no reCAPTCHA form in the registration page.

    5. I tried many different things to correct it, including testing some other plugins too.

    6. I am searching on this matter for past 3 days on internet and support forums, but there is no solution to this exact problem (or didn’t I found it?!)

    Please help me solve this issue, as spambots are making hundreds of registrations each day.

    Today I tried it again, and the problem remains. There is actually no change in the registration form (https://theparadigmshiftgroup.com/register/) before and after the activation and setting the plugin.

    I am sure I did the settings right. But still no CAPTCHA on the form.

    Please help.

    One more thing, I registered to the website from a new email, the process completed without ever showing any CAPTCHA or mentioning about it. I used the same registration page I linked in the earlier posts – https://theparadigmshiftgroup.com/register/

    Hi!

    Please follow these steps:

    1) Open the file (PHP or HTML) with the form (where you would like to add Google Captcha to).
    2) Insert the following lines to display the Google Captcha.
    For PHP:

    if( function_exists( 'gglcptch_display' ) ) { echo gglcptch_display(); } ;

    For HTML:

    <?php if( function_exists( 'gglcptch_display' ) ) { echo gglcptch_display(); } ; ?>

    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.

    My registration page is automatically created by BuddyPress (after installing BuddyPress they provide integrating option of BuddyPress and WordPress on the BuddyPress settings – there they have a option to set a registration page for both WordPress and BuddyPress which is actually a blank page with the title “Register”). So there is no specific PHP page or HTML form for that registration page.

    When I go to the edit option of the registration page, it shows a completely blank page as expected.

    So how can I add the lines you provided?

    You mean in the register.php file of BuddyPress members directory right? Can you please tell me at which part of the file should I add this? I actually don’t know PHP much…
