The CaptchaFox field lets you add CaptchaFox CAPTCHA verification to your WordPress forms to help prevent spam and automated submissions. Because CaptchaFox is a privacy-friendly CAPTCHA service and reCAPTCHA alternative, it distinguishes human users from bots using interactive or invisible challenges.
WS Form Pro supports all current CaptchaFox display modes for WordPress spam protection. Specifically, you can choose from:
- Inline
- Popup
- Hidden
Demo
Register Your WordPress Site with CaptchaFox
To use CaptchaFox in WordPress, you must first register your website. Then CaptchaFox can issue the keys required for verification.
- Sign up for a CaptchaFox account
- Register your website and, under “Choose your platform,” select JavaScript.
After you register your website, CaptchaFox provides two keys:
- Site key
- Secret key
You can enter these keys either in Global Settings or directly in the field settings (see below). As a result, CAPTCHA spam protection becomes active on your WordPress forms.
