This plugin utilizes reCAPTCHA to help your blog stay clear of spam-registrations.
As of April 2026, BuddyPress reCAPTCHA is a WordPress spam plugin with 200 active installations and a 4.5/5 rating from 4 reviews. It has been downloaded 13K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.2+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2011. Last updated 14 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection.
This Plugin integrates the Google reCAPTCHA Service Modul in the BuddyPress Template Page ‘register.php’. The file is located in ‘/wp-content/themes/{name}/registration/register.php’. The plugin adds the new feature by adding an action on ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’. Therefore the ‘register.php’ must contain the line ‘do_action( ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’ )’. My one was generated with the famous plugin BuddyPress Template Pack. It makes a normal WordPress-Template ready for use with BuddyPress. The missing files in the template will be added.
