Discover the power of a captcha plugin for WordPress: Protect your WordPress site from spam, bots and cybercrime while keeping it user-friendly. With Captcha.eu, simplicity and security go hand in hand.
How to add a captcha to WordPress
Captcha.eu offers a sleek, simple solution to add an extra security layer to your WordPress site while putting users first – completely eliminating box-ticking and puzzle-solving. Here’s how to set up the Captcha plugin on your WordPress site:
1
First, download the plugin. Simply navigate to “Plugins” in your WordPress Dashboard, click “Add New Plugin” and search for “captcha.eu”. Then download and install the plugin.
2
Next, you will need to set up a Captcha.eu-Account. Go to the Login-Page and choose how you want to sign up. Once you have signed up, log in to your account.
3
After logging in, head to the Captcha.eu Dashboard. This is where you can create one or multiple domains that you want to protect. A domain can be any string and is not tied to the http domain itself – it’s an organizational unit.
4
Now you need to activate the plugin. Click “Plugins” in your WordPress Dashboard and tick the box that says “Activate”.
5
Go to the Captcha.eu-Plugin settings in WordPress. Copy your API keys (public and REST key) from the Captcha.eu dashboard and paste them into the plugin’s settings. This will enable communication between your website and the captcha.eu server.
6
Mark each plugin you want to have captcha.eu enabled for. This includes captcha login for WordPress, registration, password reset and comments, as well as common plugins for WordPress like Ninja Forms or Elementor Pro.
