Unfortunately, there is no captcha that could provide 100% spam protection. Real people (and spammers) can get through captcha easily. Here is a list of simple recommendations to stop spam on your WordPress website:
1) Make sure that the reCaptcha plugin is installed, activated, updated to the latest version, and integrated into your form(-s).
2) Try to submit your form(-s) without captcha (or use the wrong answer to make sure that reCaptcha is working correctly).
3) Install and activate the Limit Attempts plugin to get additional anti-spam protection and low-down bot’s registration rate. Learn more – https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-attempts/
Then what’s the point of this plugin? If bots can get around it then this plugin is 100% pointless. You either make it work or you shut down this useless plugin. You stated this:
reCaptcha plugin is an effective security solution that protects your WordPress website forms from spam entries while letting real people pass through with ease. It can be used for login, registration, password recovery, comments, popular contact forms, and other. reCAPTCHA Version 3, Version 2, Invisible are included.
Your words, not mine. So release a product that does what you say or again, shut it down.
Hi,
Actions that will help to avoid the problems you described are listed above. The reCaptcha may be configured incorrectly, or your forms may have other vulnerabilities. We conduct tests of each new version and have not registered the problems described by you. Thank you.
No other forms. No other plugins. Settings are default. Fix your plugin. It doesn’t work.
