Captcha Settings

WordPress form Captcha is a method of verification via a picture. Captcha looks like a picture with symbols the user should recognize and then type into the bar. 

Once the feature is activated, the website can understand that the user meant to fill in and submit forms is not a robot but a human. 

Dashboard Captcha Settings

The global settings concerning Captcha can be adjusted by heading to WordPress Dashboard > JetFormBuilder > Settings.

Here, in the Captcha Settings tab, several verification options are presented.

reCAPTCHA v3

If reCAPTCHA v3 is unfolded, three fields are available for customization. 

The Site Key and Secret Key can be registered on the Google reCAPTCHA website.

As for Score Threshold, it is set to the “0.5” value by default. This field allows setting a value between 0 to 1. The less the value set, the more likely the system will recognize a user who tries to pass reCAPTCHA as a bot.

For instance, the “0.3” option will make the process of solving the CAPTCHA harder, while “0.7” makes it much easier.

Once adjusted, settings should be saved by pressing the corresponding button.

Form Captcha Settings

Captcha settings can also be adjusted directly in the newly added form during the customization.

The new form can be added through the WordPress Dashboard > JetFormBuilder > Add New pathway.

The JetForm tab of the form settings contains the needed Captcha Settings section. Initially, the Captcha Provider here is set to the “Without protection” option, which means that the current form isn’t secured by Captcha.

By unfolding the drop-down list, the options mentioned earlier in this guide can be selected.

reCAPTCHA v3

If the “reCAPTCHA v3” option is picked, the same settings can be adjusted as earlier, the Site Key, Secret Key, and Score Threshold.

Or there is also the Use Global Settings toggle available which pulls data from the dashboard settings, so there is no need to complete them again.

hCaptcha

With the “hCaptcha” provider, the global settings can also be used by enabling the mentioned toggle, or the Site Key and Secret Key can be completed manually.

NOTE

Every provider has its block, which can be put in the form. By default, the captcha is placed before the “Submit” button, but the corresponding block can be added to define another place for the captcha.

The mentioned block can be added by pressing the button in the Captcha settings or the general blocks search.

Above the block, there are icons that can change the block into another Captcha provider’s block.

NOTE

If a block changes, the Captcha Provider automatically changes to the according option.

Also, the block can be dragged and put in the desired place of the form.

Turnstile

The following “Turnstile” provider has the same settings as previously mentioned “hCaptcha”: the Use Global Settings switcher to pull the global settings, the Site Key and Secret Key fields for manual completion of the needed data, and the “Add Turnstile block” button for a quick appearance of the block on the page.
