Overview
Add an SVG image captcha and honeypot to your Contact Form 7 or WPForms form. Based on our interpretation this CAPTCHA plugin is GDPR compliant because the images are inline SVGs and no download of external resources happens, in addition no cookies or other storing mechanisms are used on the user’s device, this plugin will not slow down your site with additional header requests like Google’s ReCAPTCHA and respects your users privacy.
Directions [PLEASE READ]
Contact Form 7:
Add the shortcode [cf7ic] to the form editor where you want the CAPTCHA to appear.
You can hide the CAPTCHA until a user interacts with the form, by adding “toggle” to the shortcode: [cf7ic “toggle”]
WPForms:
Just activate the CAPTCHA for WPForms on the plugin’s settings page.

Would have been the perfect solution
by svenhein·6 months ago·2 replies
The plugin works pretty well in the free version. But due to lack of opportunities to purchase the pro version the plugin can’t be used in my case. Change the text in the free version to address German visitors much more formal you would get 5 stars although I found a solution for my needs now.

Awesome Plugin, Easy to Use
by robert433·1 year ago
My partner complained about the huge spam emails received from the contact page. I initially thought of hiring a freelancer to add some kind of human validation for the Contact 7 form. Then I searched the website and found this plugin WP Image CAPTCHA. After I installed and activated it, add those two words [cf7ic “toggle”] per the instruction, and then I got the working contact 7 form with WP Image CAPTCHA. Very easy to add. Thanks a lot!

some sentences not to be translated to Chinese (China)
by noone100·1 year ago
the following sentences not to be translated to Chinese (China) in Contact From 7 with Loco Translate even though:
(1) I download po file from http s://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/contact-form-7-image-captcha/stable/zh-cn/default/
(2) translate the rest part that not translate in po file locally
(3) upload to wp-content/plugins/cf7-image-captcha-pro/languages with named cf7-image-captcha-pro-zh_CN.po
but but “Please select an icon.”, “Please select the correct icon.” did not be translated.
“Please prove you are human by selecting the %s.” translated correctly
