In this blog post, we will show you how to add a captcha to your WPForms and explain the different types of captchas available.
Why Use Captcha on Your Forms?
Adding a captcha to your forms can help to protect your website from spam and other malicious activities.
Spammers and bots can use automated software to submit forms on your website, which can lead to a flood of unwanted messages and spam. By adding a captcha, you can ensure that only legitimate users are submitting forms on your website.
Captchas are also useful for preventing bots from scraping your website’s data or exploiting vulnerabilities in your forms.
Additionally, by adding a captcha to your forms, you can prevent hackers from using your forms to launch a DDoS attack on your website.
How to Add a Captcha to Your WPForms
Adding a captcha to your WPForms is easy. First, you will need to install the WPForms plugin on your website if you haven’t already done so.
Once you have installed the plugin, you can start creating forms using the drag-and-drop form builder.
To add a captcha to your form, you will need to add a “Captcha” field to your form.
To do this, simply drag the “Captcha” field from the left-hand sidebar and drop it into your form.
You can then customize the captcha settings to suit your needs.
Types of Captchas
There are several types of captchas available to use with WPForms. The most common types of captchas are reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha.
