Jacklabs Form Sentinel helps reduce automated spam on WordPress comments, registration, frontend login forms rendered with wp_login_form()<\/code>, Contact Form 7, and WooCommerce account forms.<\/p>\n\n

The default login form at wp-login.php<\/code> is intentionally excluded to reduce the risk of administrators being locked out by an incorrect key configuration.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin requires Google reCAPTCHA v2 \u201cI'm not a robot\u201d Checkbox keys. It does not support reCAPTCHA v3 keys.<\/p>\n\n

External services<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin connects to Google reCAPTCHA, a service provided by Google LLC, only after an administrator saves a Site Key and Secret Key.<\/p>\n\n

On pages containing protected forms, the plugin loads JavaScript from https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js<\/code>. Google may receive visitor information such as IP address, browser and device information, cookies, and interaction data. When a visitor submits a protected form, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token, configured Secret Key, and visitor IP address to https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api\/siteverify<\/code> to determine whether the submission is valid.<\/p>\n\n

This data is sent when a protected form is displayed or submitted. The service is necessary for the plugin's reCAPTCHA functionality.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install the ZIP file from the WordPress admin area.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to Settings > Google reCAPTCHA.<\/li>\n
  4. Enter reCAPTCHA v2 Checkbox Site Key and Secret Key.<\/li>\n
  5. Contact Form 7 widgets are inserted automatically. Optionally use [jlfpr_recaptcha]<\/code> to control their position.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does this protect the default WordPress login page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The form at wp-login.php<\/code> is intentionally excluded. A frontend form produced by wp_login_form()<\/code> can be protected.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Which reCAPTCHA key type should I use?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Create reCAPTCHA v2 Checkbox keys for your domain in Google reCAPTCHA Admin.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What happens if Google verification is unavailable?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The protected submission is rejected. This fail-closed behavior prevents unverified submissions from bypassing protection.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
