I have a contact page and want to put a capcha on it. I cannot work out how to do it from the instruction manual. I registered with google, gone to control panel, put in the site key and secret key. I have ticked 'ask a question' in case this is the same as contact, but nothing happens when I fill out the contact form.

I have secondly, pasted googles code in the head section (client side intergration) -
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script> and pasted the following in the contact form - <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="6Ldn24UUAAAAAK7yXjIFX-nhMBvFfxlmhce-7MWs"></div>. But nothing appears in the form when I upload (I expected a 'captcha box' to appear).

There is a server side intergration step which I don't understand and is as follows -

When your users submit the form where you integrated reCAPTCHA, you'll get as part of the payload a string with the name "g-recaptcha-response". In order to check whether Google has verified that user, send a POST request with these parameters:
URL: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify
secret (required) 6Ldn24UUAAAAAN9PYY-vsqjdpgNcRsYPX47P7yEj
response (required) The value of 'g-recaptcha-response'.
remoteip The end user's ip address.
The reCAPTCHA documentation site describes more details and advanced configurations.


Can someone advise? I assume everything is automated on the control panel, i.e. you enter the information and tick the boxes and that is all you do. Maybe my control panel falls outside this?

Thanks

Hi Amanda

The Recaptcha feature is just for specific store functions, it's not available for contact forms or things like that I'm afraid.

Hi Amanda

I've used a responsive contact form package from CodeCanyon which has the Google reCaptcha built in - https://codecanyon.net/item/quform-responsive-ajax-contact-form/148273?s_rank=3 on many sites.

Dead easy to setup!! You add your Google reCaptcha keys into the form HTML & it works a treat

It is possible to use your google site key on your own forms, but you will need some javascript for that. Google does have plenty of code examples they share for that.
Although if you have problem with setting that up, it's probably best to use a third party form as V45 suggests.
