Settings → Spam protection and reCAPTCHA

The plugin's form Builder exposes a reCAPTCHA field for Leads and Store registration forms. Search forms deliberately exclude it.

Configure keys

  1. Obtain a reCAPTCHA key pair for the site's hostname.
  2. Go to Store Locator → Settings → Spam protection.
  3. Paste the public key into reCAPTCHA site key.
  4. Paste the private key into reCAPTCHA secret key.
  5. Save settings.

The site key is sent to the browser. The secret remains server-side. Form verification requires a score of at least 0.5 according to the current implementation.

Add it to a form

  1. Open a Leads or Store registration form in Builder.
  2. Add a field.
  3. Set Type → reCAPTCHA.
  4. Save the form.

The field renders only when a site key is configured. A key in Settings without a reCAPTCHA field does not automatically protect every form.

Settings export intentionally omits the reCAPTCHA secret; configure it manually after migrating settings.
