How can I see that the plugin is working

Hi.

Did you watch the video? I have explained that.

The plugin doesn’t require for any user input, or hidden fields as it is based uppon a proof-of-work-approach. In order to test the plugin, you can check the new inbox “ReCaptcha GDPR Messages” for form submissions.

If you want to simulate messages and spam messages you can just do the following:

• Clean submissions: Submit your forms and you should find the entries in the respective inbox as well as at the point where you usually receive your form submissions.
• Navigate via Plugins->GDPR Compliant ReCaptcha … -> Properties and check “simulate spam” and “save spam messages”. Having done so you can submit your forms again and the respective messages shell appear in you spam inbox, but not at the point where you usually receive them. Important: Uncheck “simulate spam” afterwards, as otherwise each form submission would be treated as spam

Cheers, Matthias

I think this issue should be resolved..

Thanks for your answer.

But the result of the puzzle must be transferred somehow to the server, I thought this is done via an additional hidden input field, which I was not able to find (with chrome inspector).

Hi Chris, I’ve changed the way the plugin works:

1. Plug-in awaits user input
2. Solving the hash-puzzle
3. Hand-over the result to the server via ajax
4. The server checks the hash and saves the hash of the IP if it is solved correctly
5. The user submits the form
6. The server checks whether the IP has solved the hash. If the user submitted to quickly, the server retries the check 5 times, each after a seconds

You can either seek for the JS or, request the JavaScript variables via console.

Would it make sense to add an option to make it visible on the page if the plugin is installed and the option is checked? I man for testing purpose.

Cheers Matthias
