Description
Elementor Pro v4 atomic forms have no built-in CAPTCHA. This plugin adds Google
reCAPTCHA to every atomic form on the site and checks the token on the server
through the elementor_pro/atomic_forms/spam_check filter, so a bot that skips
the browser still gets blocked.
Features:
- reCAPTCHA v2 checkbox, v2 invisible or v3 (score based).
- Automatic on every v4 atomic form: no field to add.
- Server-side verification of every submission.
- Optional notice with the Google privacy and terms links when the badge is hidden.
Requires Elementor Pro with v4 atomic forms. Settings live in Settings > Spam Shield.
External services
This plugin relies on Google reCAPTCHA, a third-party service provided by Google LLC, to tell humans from bots. It is only active once you enter your own reCAPTCHA keys.
- In the visitor’s browser, pages with an Elementor v4 form load the reCAPTCHA script from
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js. Google receives the visitor’s IP address, browser data and the interaction data reCAPTCHA collects. - On your server, every form submission sends the reCAPTCHA token, your secret key and the visitor’s IP address to
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverifyto confirm the token.

FAQ
-
Does it work with the classic Elementor form widget?
-
No. The classic form widget has its own reCAPTCHA integration in Elementor Pro. This plugin covers v4 atomic forms.
-
What happens if the keys are missing?
-
Nothing is blocked: forms keep working without protection until you add the keys.
