Description

hCaptcha is a drop-in replacement for reCAPTCHA that puts user privacy first.

Need to keep out bots? hCaptcha protects privacy while offering better protection against spam and abuse. Help build a better web.

How hCaptcha Works

The purpose of a CAPTCHA is to distinguish between people and machines via a challenge-response test, and thus increase the cost of spamming or otherwise abusing websites by keeping out bots.

To use this plugin, just install it and enter your sitekey and secret in the Settings -> hCaptcha menu after signing up on hCaptcha.com.

hCaptcha Free lets websites block bots and other forms of abuse via humanity challenges.

hCaptcha Pro goes beyond the free hCaptcha service with advanced machine learning to reduce the challenge rate, delivering high security and low friction along with more features like UI customization.

Privacy Notices

hCaptcha is designed to comply with privacy laws in every country, including GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, and more.

With the default configuration, this plugin does not:

track users by stealth;
write any user personal data to the database;
send any data to external servers;
use cookies.

Once you activate this plugin, the hCaptcha-answering user’s IP address and browser data may be sent to the hCaptcha service on pages where you have activated hCaptcha protection. However, hCaptcha is designed to minimize data used, process it very close to the user, and rapidly discard it after analysis.

Please note

NOTE: This is a community-developed plugin. Your PRs are welcome.

For feature requests and issue reports, please
open a pull request.

We also suggest emailing the authors of plugins you’d like to support hCaptcha: it will usually take them only an hour or two to add native support. This will simplify your use of hCaptcha, and is the best solution in the long run.

Some plugins listed have been superseded by native support, and are included only for legacy purposes.

You should always use native hCaptcha support if available for your plugin.
Please check with your plugin author if native support is not yet available.

Instructions for popular native integrations are below:

Installation

Install hCaptcha either via the WordPress.org plugin repository (best) or by uploading the files to your server. (Upload instructions)
Activate the hCaptcha plugin on the ‘Plugins’ admin page
Enter your site key and secret on the Settings->hCaptcha->General page
Enable desired Integrations on the Settings->hCaptcha->Integrations page

FAQ

How do I use the hCaptcha plugin?

The hCaptcha plugin supports WordPress core and many plugins with forms automatically. You should select the supported forms on the hCaptcha Integrations settings page.

For non-standard cases, you can use the [hcaptcha] shortcode provided by the plugin.

For example, we support Contact Forms 7 automatically. However, sometimes a theme can modify the form. In this case, you can manually add the [cf7-hcaptcha] shortcode to the CF7 form.

To make hCaptcha work, the shortcode must be inside the

…

tag.

You don’t support plugin X. How can I get support for it added?

Open a PR on GitHub: or just email the authors of plugin X. Adding hCaptcha support is typically quite a quick task for most plugins.

Does the [hcaptcha] shortcode have arguments?

Full list of arguments:

[hcaptcha action="my_hcap_action" name="my_hcap_name" auto="true|false" size="normal|compact|invisible"]

The shortcode adds not only the hCaptcha div to the form, but also a nonce field. You can set your own nonce action and name. For this, use arguments in the shortcode:

[hcaptcha action="my_hcap_action" name="my_hcap_name"]

and in the verification:

$result = hcaptcha_request_verify( 'my_hcap_action', 'my_hcap_name' );

For the explanation of the auto=”true|false” argument, see the section “How to automatically verify an arbitrary form”. By default, auto=”false”.

The argument size=”normal|compact|invisible” allows to set the size of hCaptcha widget. size=”normal” by default.

How to add hCaptcha to an arbitrary form

First, add the hCaptcha snippet to the form.

If you create the form as an HTML block in the post content, just insert the shortcode [hcaptcha] inside it. It may look like this:

<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="test_input">
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
    [hcaptcha]
</form>

If you create the form programmatically, insert the following statement inside it:

?>
<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="test_input">
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[hcaptcha]' ); ?>
</form>
<?php

Secondly, verify the result of hCaptcha challenge.

$result = hcaptcha_verify_post();

if ( null !== $result ) {
    echo esc_html( $result );
    // Block processing of the form.
}

How to automatically verify an arbitrary form

Arbitrary user forms can be verified easily. Just add auto="true" or auto="1" to the shortcode:

[hcaptcha auto="true"]

and insert this shortcode into your form.

Auto-verification works with forms sent by POST on frontend only. Also, it works only with forms in the post content, but we have plans to extend the functionality.

How to block hCaptcha on specific page?

hCaptcha starts early, so you cannot use standard WP functions to determine the page. For instance, to block it on my-account page, add this code to your theme’s functions.php file:

/**
* Filter hCaptcha activation flag.
*
* @param bool $activate Activate flag.
*
* @return bool
*/
function my_hcap_activate( $activate ) {
  $url = isset( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ?
  filter_var( wp_unslash( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS ) :
  '';

  if ( '/my-account/' === $url ) {
    return false;
  }

  return $activate;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_activate', 'my_hcap_activate' );

Skipping hCaptcha verification on a specific form

The plugin has a filter to skip adding and verifying hCaptcha on a specific form. The filter receives three parameters: current protection status (‘true’ by default), source and form_id.

The source is the plugin’s slug (like ‘directory/main-plugin-file.php’), the theme name (like ‘Avada’) or the WordPress core (like ‘WordPress’).

The form_id is the form_id for plugins like Gravity Forms or WPForms, the post id for comments or a general name of the form when the form does not have an id (like WordPress core login form).

Filter arguments for some plugins/forms are listed below.

Below is an example of how to skip the hCaptcha widget on a Gravity Form with id = 1.

/**
 * Filters the protection status of a form.
 *
 * @param string     $value   The protection status of a form.
 * @param string[]   $source  Plugin(s) serving the form.
 * @param int|string $form_id Form id.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function hcap_protect_form_filter( $value, $source, $form_id ) {
    if ( ! in_array( 'gravityforms/gravityforms.php', $source, true ) ) {
        // The form is not sourced by Gravity Forms plugin.
        return $value;
    }

    if ( 1 !== (int) $form_id ) {
        // The form has id !== 1.
        return $value;
    }

    // Turn off protection for Gravity form with id = 1.
    return false;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_protect_form', 'hcap_protect_form_filter', 10, 3 );

How to show hCaptcha widget instantly?

The plugin loads the hCaptcha script with a delay until user interaction: mouseenter, click, scroll or touch. This significantly improves Google Pagespeed Insights score.

To load the hCaptcha widget instantly, you can use the following filter:

/**
* Filters delay time for hCaptcha API script.
*
* Any negative value will prevent API script from loading at all,
* until user interaction: mouseenter, click, scroll or touch.
* This significantly improves Google Pagespeed Insights score.
*
* @param int $delay Number of milliseconds to delay hCaptcha API script.
*                   Any negative value means delay until user interaction.
*/
function my_hcap_delay_api( $delay ) {
  return 0;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_delay_api', 'my_hcap_delay_api' );

How to set hCaptcha language programmatically?

hCaptcha defaults to using the user’s language as reported by the browser. However, on multilingual sites you can override this to set the hCaptcha language to match the current page language. For this, you can use the following filter:

/**
* Filters hCaptcha language.
*
* @param string $language Language.
*/
function my_hcap_language( $language ) {
  // Detect page language and return it.
  $page_language = 'some lang'; // Detection depends on the multilingual plugin used.

  return $page_language;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_language', 'my_hcap_language' );

How to whitelist certain IPs

You can use the following filter:

/**
 * Filter user IP to check if it is whitelisted.
 * For whitelisted IPs, hCaptcha will not be shown.
 *
 * @param bool   $whitelisted Whether IP is whitelisted.
 * @param string $ip          IP.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function my_hcap_whitelist_ip( $whitelisted, $ip ) {

  // Whitelist local IPs.
  if ( false === $ip ) {
    return true;
  }

  // Whitelist some other IPs.
  if ( '1.1.1.1' === $ip ) {
    return true;
  }

  return $whitelisted;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_whitelist_ip', 'my_hcap_whitelist_ip', 10, 2 );

Why isn’t my WPForms Lite installation working?

Please make sure you have removed the reCAPTCHA keys under WPForms > Settings > reCAPTCHA to avoid a conflict.

Where can I get more information about hCaptcha?

I find the plugin to be very good, with a simple and well-thought-out interface. The support of this plugin is very friendly and responsive for the free version of the plugin; I can only imagine it being even better for the paid version. This leads me to the reason for deducting one star: the subscription fee is exceptionally high for those who just only want the checkbox functionality without a challenge (equivalent to Invisible reCaptcha v3). While I understand that every service deserves compensation and I assume that this subscription fee is justified, I find it a pity. Sooner or later, a more affordable alternative will inevitably take the lead and replace hCaptcha. It's all the more regrettable since hCaptcha's current reputation has already blossomed and is widely recognized as the go-to alternative to reCaptcha, especially due to its commitment to data privacy (in compliance with GDPR). However, with such an expensive paid version, many small freelancers will have to turn to another solution. If it's not feasible to make the subscriptions more affordable in the future, why not at least offer a pay-per-request monthly fee? Despite this concern, I'm genuinely grateful to be able to use the free version of hCaptcha and its plugin. Many thanks and best wishes to the entire team! Your service is undeniably of high quality overall!

Graham Smith August 22, 2023 1 reply

This plug-in works great with Divi, thank you for integrating it. My review is for the plugin and not the actual hCaptcha service, although it too works great. For anyone confused, the Sample hCaptcha shown in the plugin’s settings within the Keys section is not simply an image (it confused me too!) but a live Captcha, so you have to tick it when using the Check Site Config tool etc. Simple toggle for light or dark mode, also a Whitelist option for protecting access for IPs. Would be nice to see a Dynamic DNS URL option also for Whitelist. Handy for when you are using broadband with a dynamic IP address which changes frequently or unexpectedly. Nice job.

When entering the Site Key and the Secret Key, it does not allow saving, giving error: hCaptcha has failed to initialize. Please see the developer tools console for more information. In the console the error is as follows: api.js?onload=hCaptchaOnLoad&render=explicit:3 Missing sitekey - https: // hcaptcha. com / docs / configuration#jsapi P/D: The data is correct. P/D2: The error messages doesn't have spaces, I've just added in order to comment here.

Works great. I switched from Google reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha because there isn’t really a good plugin that is compatible with WooCommerce.
