Some advice

    i tried and wanted to give it up for two reasons. and I think you can improve it.

    1. The only built-in captcha is hCaptcha, I thought it was ok at the beginning because it’s free and easy to integrate into the form. until yesterday i tested submitting a form on my website, oh my gosh, the captcha is too difficult, I guess I would leave if I were a potential customer. so if I don’t want to use hcaptha then wpforms is useless for me. My advice is that you can add a custom field to allow the website owner to design their own simple captcha, give a question, and preset an answer and even a hint. for example: in what year was our company established?{hint: company introduction page, the answer is 1990}, the customers can easily find on the company introduction page. Contactform7 has this feature and I have been using it for serval years without any spam. And it’s weird that I did receive spam form content from the website using hcaptha.

    2. some field is not very flexible. for example, you can have 2 columns in the NAME field, but other fields can’t have this. what if I want to insert a NUMBER field and then a drop-down field but want them in the same row with 2 columns like the NAME field？ it’s impossible.

    regards,
    Martin

  • Hi @martinxun03

    reCAPTCHA is also supported, see the official WPForms guide for that here.

    Various multi-column layout possibilities are also available. WHat you described is possible. Here is a guide on how to utilize multi-column layouts.

    Hope this helped, enjoy the plugin!

    @aakash8 thank you, problem 2 is solved and it’s great. Hope you can add some custom simple quiz functions as Recaptcha/hcaptcha are both too difficult for visitors.

    @martinxun03 Glad to help!

    According to this article reCAPTCHA has over 97%+ of the market share for captcha solutions. Most end users who browse the internet should be quite familiar with it.

    You could even enable the “invisible” or “checkbox” option for reCAPTCHA to make things extremely simple.

    Google offers 3 versions of reCAPTCHA (all supported within WPForms):

v2 Checkbox reCAPTCHA: Prompts users to check a box to prove they're human.
v2 Invisible reCAPTCHA: Uses advanced technology to detect real users without requiring any input.
v3 reCAPTCHA: Uses a behind-the-scenes scoring system to detect abusive traffic, and lets you decide the minimum passing score. Recommended for advanced use only (or if using Google AMP).

    Hope this helped, enjoy!

    Hey @martinxun03 – Thanks for contacting us and I apologize for the delay in getting back to your support request.

    An alternative to hCaptcha that you can consider is using reCAPTCHA which also comes with the lite version of WPForms. When you get a chance, please take a look at our guide here for more details.

    For the second question, you can consider using the multicolumn layout feature.

    Regarding the custom questions, we do have a solution that comes with the paid version of WPForms. If you would like to learn more, could you please drop us a line through our contact page when you get the chance?

    You’re welcome to just include a link to this post, if you’d prefer to do that.

    I apologize that we’re not able to respond to paid version questions here in the www.ads-software.com support forums for the free version, but I really appreciate your help!`

    Hey @martinxun03 – We haven’t heard back from you in about a week, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

    Thanks!
