Frequently asked questions

What is the primary function of the reCAPTCHA in WP comments form plugin?
The plugin is an ANTISPAM tool that adds a visible Google reCAPTCHA field inside the comments form of your WordPress theme to prevent fraudulent or deceptive comments when the user is not logged in.
How does the plugin handle spam robots?
It includes a second verification process that detects unauthorized direct accesses by spam robots to the WordPress comments system. Users can configure the plugin to SPAM, TRASH, DELETE, or DIE in response to these threats.
Does the plugin support older WordPress themes?
Yes, the plugin has an optional forced JavaScript output mode. This allows a reCAPTCHA field to be added even in older WordPress themes that do not use the new WP form comments functions but directly output their own comments form.
What are some of the basic configuration options available?
Users can configure settings for the plugin, ANTISPAM operation, and visual aspects of Google reCAPTCHA such as theme, size, type, align, and language. It also supports RTL languages and adapts to the admin color scheme.
Can the plugin prevent malicious automatic form submissions?
Yes, the plugin blocks the submit button while the reCAPTCHA field is not verified. It also changes the HTML structure of the comments form to prevent malicious automatic sendings during this period.
