Captcha Code

Description

Adds GDPR compatible captcha code anti-spam protection to WordPress forms – comments form, registration form, lost password form, and login form. In order to post comments or register, users have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots & adds security. No external services (like Google ReCaptcha) are used. No API keys are needed, and no user-identifiable data is used so it’s GDPR compatible.

Features

1. Captcha position – comments form, login form, registration form, or lost password form.
2. Letters type – capital letters, small letters, or captial & small letters.
3. Captcha type – alphanumeric, alphabets or numbers.
4. Translation enabled.

it slows down your site

A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests. on the file wpcaptcha.php you should fix line 40 to 44 with this if ( !session_id() ) { session_start( [ ‘read_and_close’ => true, ] ); } I had to find it my way out

working yey
