   Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the article you’re referring to, but in order
   to add a CAPTCHA you’ll need to add it via `opp-single-form.php` by copying that
   file into a folder called `wivm` in your current theme, then modifying it. Along
   with that you’ll need to write some additional code using the existing hooks 
   in the plugin to ensure the form only submits when the CAPTCHA is done correctly.
   If you’re not comfortable with the coding needed to make this happen, let me 
   know and I can provide you all a bid for the customization if you’d like.
 * It’s also worth noting that instead of a CAPTCHA we almost always recommend what’s
   called a honeypot. Basically, it’s a form field that’s hidden from users, but
   bots see it. When bots see it, they fill it out, signaling to the website that
   the submission is spam instead of a legitimate person. We like honeypots better
   because they don’t hinder the experience for legitimate users.
 * I hope this is helpful. Let me know what other questions you have.
