Just that… simple plugin to improve site security that does its job
]]>Rating: 5 stars
I use hCaptcha with CF7 on several sites, where I had replaced reCAPTCHA (by Google). Since then my sites run a bit smoother in sake of performance, and I don’t have to display any brand badge on every page on my website (which looks quite ugly, especially on mobile devices).
I’d also like to praise the Support for quick responses.

I have installed this plugin in almost all my clients. Unfortunately, every day I get more and more messages from my clients wanting to remove it. The questions it asks are getting too frustrating, and e-commerce clients spend too much time answering them. The questions that it asks just take too much time for visitors to complete, and most of them are getting to their nerves.
Then there’s the thing with spamming, you should expect those questions will solve your issues, yet we’re still getting spam comments on most websites. The plugin is also incapable of understanding which IPs are the admins, which makes all of us keep using it just to log in to our websites and there’s no option to undo this. It also doesn’t remember that we’ve already logged in.
Unfortunately, this is the last time I’ll be installing or recommending this plugin, especially for e-commerce websites.

A captcha plugin for WordPress can be an invaluable tool for protecting your website against spam and automated attacks. With its ability to generate custom challenges that only a human can solve, such as identifying images or typing distorted words, the plugin can ensure that your contact forms, comments, and registrations are protected against malicious bots. Furthermore, by providing an additional layer of hassle-free security for legitimate users, the captcha plugin not only safeguards your website but also enhances the user experience by keeping security nuisances out of sight and allowing online interactions to flow uninterrupted. With its ease of installation and configuration, a captcha plugin is a valuable investment for any WordPress website owner who values security and hassle-free functionality.

This plugin is amazing. Simple replacement for the reCaptcha without changing a single page. It is highly customizable and works with the most common plugins out of the box. Very easy to set up and to use! Thanks a lot for sharing and keep it up!

I find the plugin to be very good, with a simple and well-thought-out interface. The support of this plugin is very friendly and responsive for the free version of the plugin; I can only imagine it being even better for the paid version.
This leads me to the reason for deducting one star: the subscription fee is exceptionally high for those who just only want the checkbox functionality without a challenge (equivalent to Invisible reCaptcha v3). While I understand that every service deserves compensation and I assume that this subscription fee is justified, I find it a pity. Sooner or later, a more affordable alternative will inevitably take the lead and replace hCaptcha. It’s all the more regrettable since hCaptcha’s current reputation has already blossomed and is widely recognized as the go-to alternative to reCaptcha, especially due to its commitment to data privacy (in compliance with GDPR). However, with such an expensive paid version, many small freelancers will have to turn to another solution. If it’s not feasible to make the subscriptions more affordable in the future, why not at least offer a pay-per-request monthly fee?
Despite this concern, I’m genuinely grateful to be able to use the free version of hCaptcha and its plugin. Many thanks and best wishes to the entire team! Your service is undeniably of high quality overall!

This plug-in works great with Divi, thank you for integrating it. My review is for the plugin and not the actual hCaptcha service, although it too works great.
For anyone confused, the Sample hCaptcha shown in the plugin’s settings within the Keys section is not simply an image (it confused me too!) but a live Captcha, so you have to tick it when using the Check Site Config tool etc.
Simple toggle for light or dark mode, also a Whitelist option for protecting access for IPs.
Would be nice to see a Dynamic DNS URL option also for Whitelist. Handy for when you are using broadband with a dynamic IP address which changes frequently or unexpectedly.
Nice job.

When entering the Site Key and the Secret Key, it does not allow saving, giving error:
hCaptcha has failed to initialize. Please see the developer tools console for more information.In the console the error is as follows:
api.js?onload=hCaptchaOnLoad&render=explicit:3 Missing sitekey - https: // hcaptcha. com / docs / configuration#jsapiP/D: The data is correct.
P/D2: The error messages doesn’t have spaces, I’ve just added in order to comment here.

I don’t really like a plugins with any captcha, but for one of my clients with Amazon SES hCaptcha save a lot of money and time. Now all forms protected from spam, Amazon didn’t block the acc of my client, so im really satisfied now.
special thx for developer of hCaptcha, for your contribution to open source!!!

I’m using a WordPress Woocommerce Shop and Mollie Payments with Germanized and Astra Theme. I had hCaptcha installed for the checkout of my shop. The last two moths I wondered why nobody ordered anything in my tiny shop (but I was busy with other things and had other stress). Turned out, that the hCaptcha plugin causes a glitch/bug at the payment selection of Mollie Payments. Thanks a lot to the devs of this plugin, I’m so happy. Not. Now I know, why I don’t have any sales. I disabled hCaptcha for WooCommerce now. Oh boy…

I don’t know why but every time there’s an update, none of my forms work anymore. I don’t know why, I don’t know how, I’m not a developer. But over eight websites, that’s my experience.

Myself, among others (including Cloudflare back in 2020; they have a blog post about it), moved from reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha with it generally being a nicer experience as a developer, manager, and end-user.
This plugin is then instrumental in facilitating hCaptcha on sites. It’s then great that there’s an official plugin (unlike needing to choose from a handful of 3rd party options where each has their own trade-offs and has a more uncertain support & ongoing development compared to being able to use an official offering.
It’s also great to see this plugin is active on GitHub (with the plugin’s FAQ section in the plugin details pointing people to this) so we can get the combined efforts that might’ve otherwise been someone creating their own separate plugin (instead, they can add/update what they need in the official plugin for a better overall result.)
Finally, their plugin integration/support with anything/everything that might want/need a CAPTCHA is one of the best I’ve seen in a CAPTCHA plugin (even outside of plugins that are just for hCaptcha.) They’re still actively adding more support as of the release made just today (also adding hooks/filters for developers, making sure modern PHP is being accounted for properly, etc.) It definitely makes one think this is the best way to go for any type of CAPTCHA (then the hCaptcha service being one of the best options out there.)

Plugin is great. Some spam gets through but what are you gonna do. I always use “Easy” difficulty too though, don’t want to bug humans too much.
If you have your WP login credentials saved in the browser at /wp-admin they are autofilled in hCaptcha settings:
Yikes, can't add images - Error: Please do not add links to your review, keep the review about your experience in text only.
Here's a link anyway:
i . imgur . com / HhPE3gK.pngThat could be disabled with autocomplete="off" or something, would be nice. Honestly, Secret Key shouldn’t be obfuscated anyway, who’s watching over my shoulder and memorizing that, I just want to see it to be sure I pasted the right thing.
Also setting it up for loads of sites gets a bit tedious, wish there was a button to “Login with hCaptcha” that redirects to hCaptcha site, click login, redirect back with some token and let hCaptcha register the site and generate the keys itself. Pretty much like Google Site Kit works.
Also not a fan that the inline styles include compatibility for plugins that I don’t have enabled, such as #wpforo, #af-wrapper, .gform-*, .wpdm-*, .w3eden, .elementor-*, etc, but it’s not the end of the world.
I think I also had an issue with CF7 that it appended hCaptcha to the form even though I had added it manually with the hcaptcha shortcode. I have it enabled under Integrations but for some forms I may need to tweak the location so I added it manually there. Looking at the source, maybe I needed to use [[cf7-hcaptcha]], so my bad, but maybe it could be added to CF7 form editor “media_buttons” row to remember what it is.
Also maybe the function hcap_get_error_messages() could have a filter or plugin options to change the 3 main plugin messages. I know I could contribute a translation to the plugin but you need like permissions first and then you gotta translate a major chunk of the plugin and get it reviewed and ideally maintain it, a lot of hassle for just changing the “Please complete the hCaptcha.” message. gettext filter applies to every single translatable string ever so I’m hesitant to use it for performance reasons or maybe it’s fine I don’t know.
Anyway, sorry for wall of text, 5 stars, thanks and keep it up!

using hcaptcha on another website is a chore. It hardly works, asking the most stupid questions like “a slow moving car” or “dog on a t-shirt.” and even when it goes through, verification fails for must obscure reasons. maybe you’ll prefer to use it for your website, but in the long run, it’ll just end up driving potential clients away.

Awesome PlugIn

I installed it just for WP register and log-in forms. It was fast and easy.
Install plugin, make an account on hcaptcha site and enter sitekey and secretkey in the plugin setttings. That’s all, it works! One more thing, under Integrations tabs choose where you want to use this plugin oh and no need to make account with google. The process is faster and easier.

hCaptcha can be included into WPForms easily. Only the Site Key and Secret Key are needed which are available after the registration on the hCaptcha website. The verification via images in e.g. contact forms could be made easier for people with eye issues.
