How to use the shortcode?

  • Hello!
    First of all, thank you for Altcha, both the project and also this WordPress plugin, VERY useful.

    However I’m not able to understand how to use the shortcode to integrate with other forms or custom forms. I search the documentation but I still cant find anything.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you!

    Hello, the short code just renders the ALTCHA widget and the internal API provides an easy way to generate challenges. When added to a form, the submitted data will contain a new hidden field “altcha” which contains the solution to a challenge. To integrate with custom form handlers or external APIs, the receiving side (where you submit the form) will have to check this hidden field using the configured “secret” (find it in the Settings of the plugin). There are several libraries (https://altcha.org/docs/integrations/) for different languages that help you with verification. For more information about the server verification, refer to the general server integration guide (https://altcha.org/docs/server-integration/).
