The captcha can be visible on:
* all site’s pages – excluding the default search form and the admin bar search.
* certain pages – you can choose from a pages’ list
* certain forms – if you know how to, you can introduce the jQuery selector for the form (e.g. #myform, .myform)
Note: the plugin replaces DOM elements with name and/or id submit. If there is any CSS formatting on the id #submit you need to replace it.
