The settings are very much straightforward.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Firstly, the <strong>Version<\/strong> drop-down menu allows you to choose between versions of the CAPTCHA test. You need to bear in mind that since version 5.1,<strong> Contact Form 7<\/strong> does not support v2 of CAPTCHA. We will show you how you can implement v2 with Contact Form 7 a little later in this tutorial, but for now, we\u2019ll choose v3.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The following two fields are for the<strong> Site Key<\/strong> and <strong>Secret Key<\/strong>, respectively. We already explained how you can obtain these two keys in the previous section. If you haven&#8217;t already done so, you can get them now by clicking on the &#8220;Get reCaptcha keys from Google&#8221; link in the plugin&#8217;s settings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In the <strong>Forms<\/strong> section, we will tick all the forms to enable CAPTCHA for them. This works automatically for the supported forms listed under<strong> Enabled Forms<\/strong>. To introduce CAPTCHA to your <strong>Contact Form 7 Contact Form<\/strong> and other custom forms, you\u2018ll need to use a shortcode provided under the <em><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/em> link, which we will arrive at later.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reCaptcha-Keys.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"reCaptcha Keys\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reCaptcha-Keys.jpg 700w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reCaptcha-Keys-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reCaptcha-Keys-620x423.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In the <strong>Other Settings<\/strong> section, you can change the default <strong>Error Message<\/strong> (as we will, to <em>You have failed the CAPTCHA test. Please, try again<\/em>.). We will leave <strong>Captcha Language<\/strong> on auto detect, but you can use whichever language you like and is supported. This plugin has been translated into over 40 languages. We will also leave the<strong> Failed login Captcha<\/strong> setting on <strong>0<\/strong>, meaning that there is no limit for the number of times the CAPTCHA script is loaded, regardless of how many times the user was vetted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]We will set the <strong>v3 Script Load<\/strong> to <strong>Form Pages<\/strong>. This means that the CAPTCHA test will only be active on form pages rather than all of your site\u2019s pages. The <strong>Captcha Score<\/strong> we will leave at <strong>0.5<\/strong>, its default value. This setting governs the sensitivity of the CAPTCHA test, with 1 being the lowest tolerance. We suggest not touching it unless you are familiar with how the v3 test works.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Here you can also <strong>Whitelist IPs<\/strong>, making sure that trusted users access your website hassle-free.
