Google reCaptcha v3 not visible and ineffective

  • Hi,

    I’ve just read about your very recently updated tutorial about how to enable reCaptcha in Ultimate Member.

    Since with reCaptcha v2, I get TONS of spam account registrations from the Ultimate Member creation page, for months now, I thought I could take advantage of these suggestions.

    I already applied all the suggestions you guys offered, besides the email validation one which shouldn’t be needed when a captcha is in place, from my point of view.

    Anyway… I already again, something I already tried couple of months ago: switch from reCaptcha v2 to reCaptcha v3, expecting it to be a more performant barrier.

    Unfortunately, after:

    • Creating a dedicated entry from Google captcha ‘s plateform
    • Configuring it from UM, with the proper settings
    • Setting the control value to 1 (from 0 to 1, 1 being the most strict parameter)
    • Activating it from the admin
    • Checking it was not disable on the register form

    I noticed it would not show up, neither in the register form, nor the password reset page, while it’s set to appear here as well.

    Investigation the code, I can see the Captcha JS:
    <script src=”https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6Lc3SjgpAAAAAIKRaNT2OsQdjZNpkPWrHmSVOZXX&amp;ver=3.0” id=”google-recapthca-api-v3-js”></script>

    … and the dedicated div in the content:
    <div class=”g-recaptcha” id=”um-572″ data-mode=”register”></div>

    So I think it just doesn’t control anything, or at least, that the tutorial might miss some details about how to get this to work with the v3.

    Of course, I already tested it with the latest version of WordPress, Ultimate Member and UM reCaptcha extension, on standard themes (Twenty Four and Storefront). I get the exact same behavior, on different environment, without any kind of cache.

    The captcha shows with v2, definitely not with v3. Under any of the tested setup.

    Did I miss something?

    Thanks for your help.

    @pioneer6675,

    In the meantime, I had a detailed answer from UM.

    v3 was actually working. I was expecting something at the bottom of the form, where v2 appears. but v3 actually appears at the very right bottom of the screen. Can you notice it?

    Haha now thats funny as hell, i couldnt see it cause my cookie popup was blocking it, i thought v3 was supposed to put up the box that says check if you are human and automatically check the box for you if it found you were okay to submit the form, here its just a popup way in the corner of the site

    Thank you for finding this and sharing it!!

    I also opened an issue on Github but im wondering if we can move that box to the form instead of the website lower right corner??
