Overview

ACF reCAPTCHA brings Google reCAPTCHA to Advanced Custom Fields, to be used on frontend forms.

Features include:

  • ACF reCAPTCHA Protection ensures that spambots cannot circumvent reCAPTCHA to submit forms on the server-side
  • ACF-compliant client-side validation which prompts the user if reCAPTCHA is not clicked or had expired
  • Customizable reCAPTCHA options, including theme (light/dark), type (image/audio) and size (normal/compact)
  • Compatible with ACF Conditional Logic feature, which allows hiding/showing certain fields until the reCAPTCHA has been passed
