== How hCaptcha Works ==

The purpose of a CAPTCHA is to distinguish between people and machines via a challenge-response test and thus increase the cost of spamming or otherwise abusing websites by keeping out bots.

To use this plugin, install it and enter your sitekey and secret in the Settings → hCaptcha menu after signing up on hCaptcha.com.

[hCaptcha Free](https://www.hcaptcha.com/) lets websites block bots and other forms of abuse via humanity challenges.

[hCaptcha Pro](https://www.hcaptcha.com/pro) goes beyond the free hCaptcha service with advanced machine learning to reduce the challenge rate, delivering high security and low friction along with more features like UI customization.

[hCaptcha Enterprise](https://www.hcaptcha.com/) delivers a complete advanced security platform, including site-specific risk scores, fraud protection, and more to address both human and automated abuse.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I use the hCaptcha plugin? =

The hCaptcha plugin supports WordPress core and many plugins with forms automatically. You should select the supported forms on the hCaptcha Integrations settings page.

For non-standard cases, you can use the `[hcaptcha]` shortcode provided by the plugin.

For example, we support Contact Forms 7 automatically. However, sometimes a theme can modify the form. In this case, you can manually add the `[cf7-hcaptcha]` shortcode to the CF7 form.

To make hCaptcha work, the shortcode must be inside the <form ...> ... </form> tag.

= You don't support plugin X. How can I get support for it added? =

[Open a PR on GitHub](https://github.com/hCaptcha/hcaptcha-wordpress-plugin): or just email the authors of plugin X. Adding hCaptcha support is typically quite a quick task for most plugins.

= Does the [hcaptcha] shortcode have arguments? =

Full list of arguments:

`
[hcaptcha action="my_hcap_action" name="my_hcap_name" auto="true|false" ajax="true|false" force="true|false" theme="light|dark|auto" size="normal|compact|invisible"]
`

The shortcode adds not only the hCaptcha div to the form but also a nonce field. You can set your own nonce action and name. For this, use arguments in the shortcode:

`
[hcaptcha action="my_hcap_action" name="my_hcap_name"]
`

and in the verification:

`
$result = \HCaptcha\Helpers\API::verify_post( 'my_hcap_name', 'my_hcap_action' );
`

For the explanation of the auto="true|false" argument, see the section *"How to automatically verify an arbitrary form"*. By default, `auto="false"`.

The argument force="true|false" allows forcing verification of hCaptcha widget before submitting the form. By default, `force="false"`.

The argument size="normal|compact|invisible" allows setting the size of hCaptcha widget. By default, `size="normal"`.

= How to add hCaptcha to an arbitrary form =

First, add the hCaptcha snippet to the form.

If you create the form as an HTML block in the post content, insert the shortcode `[hcaptcha]` inside it. It may look like this:

`
<form method="post">
	<input type="text" name="test_input">
	<input type="submit" value="Send">
    [hcaptcha]
</form>
`

If you create the form programmatically, insert the following statement inside it:

`
?>
<form method="post">
	<input type="text" name="test_input">
	<input type="submit" value="Send">
    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[hcaptcha]' ); ?>
</form>
<?php
`

Secondly, verify the result of hCaptcha challenge.

`
$result = \HCaptcha\Helpers\API::verify_request();

if ( null !== $result ) {
    echo esc_html( $result );
    // Block processing of the form.
}
`

= How to automatically verify an arbitrary form =

Arbitrary user forms can be verified easily. Just add `auto="true"` or `auto="1"` to the shortcode:

`
[hcaptcha auto="true"]
`

and insert this shortcode into your form.

Auto-verification works with forms sent by POST on frontend only. It works with forms in the post content and in widgets.

You can add also `force="true"` or `force="1"` argument to prevent sending a form without checking the hCaptcha.

`
[hcaptcha auto="true" force="true"]
`

Arbitrary forms can also be verified in ajax via the `ajax` argument. There is no need to specify `auto="true"` in this case, as `ajax` implies `auto="true"`.

`
[hcaptcha ajax="true"]
`

= How to block hCaptcha entirely on a specific page? =

hCaptcha starts early, so you cannot use standard WP functions to determine the page. For instance, to block it on `my-account` page, add the following code to your plugin's (or mu-plugin's) main file. This code won't work being added to a theme's functions.php file.

`
/**
 * Filter hCaptcha activation flag.
 *
 * @param bool|mixed $activate The activate flag.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function my_hcap_activate( $activate ): bool {
  $status = (bool) $status;

  $url = isset( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ?
    filter_var( wp_unslash( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS ) :
    '';

  if ( '/my-account/' === $url ) {
    return false;
  }

  return $activate;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_activate', 'my_hcap_activate' );
`

= How do I block hCaptcha scripts everywhere except on a specific page? =

As an example, to block hCaptcha scripts everywhere except on the `contact` page:

`
/**
 * Filter hCaptcha print hCaptcha scripts status.
 *
 * @param bool|mixed $status Current print status.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function my_hcap_print_hcaptcha_scripts( $status ): bool {
  if ( is_page( 'contact' ) ) {
    return (bool) $status;
  }

  return false;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_print_hcaptcha_scripts', 'my_hcap_print_hcaptcha_scripts' );
`

= How do I block hCaptcha scripts everywhere except on a specific page? =

As an example, to block hCaptcha scripts everywhere except on the `contact` page:

`
/**
 * Block inline styles.
 *
 * @return void
 */
function hcap_block_inline_styles() {
	if ( is_page( 'contact' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$hcaptcha = hcaptcha();

	remove_action( 'wp_head', [ $hcaptcha, 'print_inline_styles' ] );
	remove_filter( 'wp_resource_hints', [ $hcaptcha, 'prefetch_hcaptcha_dns' ] );
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'hcap_block_inline_styles', 0 );
`

= Skipping hCaptcha verification on a specific form =

The plugin has a filter to skip adding and verifying hCaptcha on a specific form. The filter receives three parameters: current protection status ('true' by default), source and form_id.

The source is the plugin's slug (like 'directory/main-plugin-file.php'), the theme name (like 'Avada') or the WordPress core (like 'WordPress').

The form_id is the form_id for plugins like Gravity Forms or WPForms, the post id for comments, or a general name of the form when the form does not have an id (like WordPress core login form).

Below is an example of how to skip the hCaptcha widget on a Gravity Form with id = 1.

`
/**
 * Filters the protection status of a form.
 *
 * @param string|mixed $value   The protection status of a form.
 * @param string[]     $source  Plugin(s) serving the form.
 * @param int|string   $form_id Form id.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function hcap_protect_form_filter( $value, $source, $form_id ): bool {
  $value = (bool) $value;

  if ( ! in_array( 'gravityforms/gravityforms.php', $source, true ) ) {
    // The form is not sourced by Gravity Forms plugin.
    return $value;
  }

  if ( 1 !== (int) $form_id ) {
    // The form has id !== 1.
    return $value;
  }

  // Turn off protection for a Gravity form with id = 1.
  return false;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_protect_form', 'hcap_protect_form_filter', 10, 3 );
`

= How can I show the hCaptcha widget instantly? =

The plugin loads the hCaptcha script with a delay until user interaction: mouseenter, click, scroll, or touch. This significantly improves Google Pagespeed Insights score.

To load the hCaptcha widget instantly, you can use the following filter:

`
/**
 * Filters delay time for hCaptcha API script.
 *
 * Any negative value will prevent the API script from loading at all,
 * until user interaction: mouseenter, click, scroll, or touch.
 * This significantly improves Google Pagespeed Insights score.
 *
 * @param int|mixed $delay Number of milliseconds to delay hCaptcha API script.
 *                         Any negative value means delay until user interaction.
 */
function my_hcap_delay_api( $delay ): int {
  return 0;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_delay_api', 'my_hcap_delay_api' );
`

= How to set hCaptcha language programmatically? =

hCaptcha defaults to using the user's language as reported by the browser. However, on multilingual sites you can override this to set the hCaptcha language to match the current page language. For this, you can use the following filter:

`
/**
 * Filters hCaptcha language.
 *
 * @param string|mixed $language Language.
 */
function my_hcap_language( $language ): string {
  $language = (string) $language;

  // Detect page language and return it.
  $page_language = 'some lang'; // Detection depends on the multilingual plugin used.

  return $page_language;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_language', 'my_hcap_language' );
`

= How to denylist certain IPs =

You can use the following filter. It should be added to your plugin's (or mu-plugin's) main file. This filter won't work being added to a theme's functions.php file.

`
/**
 * Filter the user IP to check if it is denylisted.
 * For denylisted IPs, any form submission fails.
 *
 * @param bool|mixed $denylisted Whether IP is denylisted.
 * @param string     $ip         IP.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function my_hcap_denylist_ip( $denylisted, $ip ): bool {
  $denylisted = (bool) $denylisted;

  // Denylist some IPs.
  if ( '8.8.8.8' === $ip ) {
    return true;
  }

  return $denylisted;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_blacklist_ip', 'my_hcap_denylist_ip', 10, 2 );
`

= How to allowlist certain IPs =

You can use the following filter. It should be added to your plugin's (or mu-plugin's) main file. This filter won't work being added to a theme's functions.php file.

`
/**
 * Filter user IP to check if it is allowlisted.
 * For allowlisted IPs, hCaptcha will not be shown.
 *
 * @param bool|mixed $allowlisted Whether IP is allowlisted.
 * @param string     $ip          IP.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function my_hcap_allowlist_ip( $allowlisted, $ip ): bool {
  $allowlisted = (bool) $allowlisted;

  // Allowlist local IPs.
  if ( false === $ip ) {
    return true;
  }

  // Allowlist some other IPs.
  if ( '1.1.1.1' === $ip ) {
    return true;
  }

  return $allowlisted;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_whitelist_ip', 'my_hcap_allowlist_ip', 10, 2 );
`

= How do I change the appearance of the admin menu? =

Starting from 4.1.0, the admin menu was moved to the top level with subpages.

You can customize this by returning it to the previous location in the admin Settings section or tweaking its appearance.

To do this, use the following filter to your plugin's (or mu-plugin's) main file. This code won't work being added to a theme's functions.php file.

`
/**
 * Filter the settings system initialization arguments.
 *
 * @param array|mixed $args Settings system initialization arguments.
 */
function hcap_settings_init_args_filter( $args ): array {
  $args = (array) $args;

  $args['mode'] = 'tabs';

  return $args;
}

add_filter( 'hcap_settings_init_args', 'hcap_settings_init_args_filter' );
`

`$args` array has the following fields:

`mode`: 'pages' or 'tabs' (default 'pages') — the appearance of the admin menu;
`parent`: a string — the parent menu item. Default '' for 'pages' mode and 'options-general.php' for 'tabs' mode;
`position`: a number — the position of the menu item. Default 58.990225 for 'pages' mode. It Has no effect on 'tabs' mode;

== Privacy Notices ==

hCaptcha is designed to comply with privacy laws in every country, including GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, and more.

For example, hCaptcha has been certified under ISO 27001 and 27701 and is enrolled in the EU-US, UK-US, and Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework for GDPR compliance.

Details are available at [www.hcaptcha.com/certifications](https://www.hcaptcha.com/certifications) and [www.hcaptcha.com/gdpr](https://www.hcaptcha.com/gdpr).

With the default configuration, this plugin does not:

* track users by stealth;
* write any user's personal data to the database;
* send any data to external servers;
* use cookies.

Once you activate this plugin, the hCaptcha-answering user's IP address and browser data may be sent to the hCaptcha service on pages where you have activated hCaptcha protection. However, hCaptcha is designed to minimize data used, process it very close to the user, and rapidly discard it after analysis.
For more details, please see the hCaptcha privacy policy at:

* [hCaptcha.com](https://hCaptcha.com/privacy)

If you enable the optional plugin-local statistics feature, the following additional data will be recorded in your database:

* counts of challenge verifications per form
* **only if you enable this optional feature: **the IP address challenged on each form
* **only if you enable this optional feature: **the USer Agent challenged on each form

You can collect data anonymously but still distinguish sources. The hashed IP address and User Agent will be saved.

We recommend leaving IP and User Agent recording off, which will make these statistics fully anonymous.

If this feature is enabled, anonymized statistics on your plugin configuration, not including any end user data, will also be sent to us. This lets us see which modules and features are being used and prioritize development for them accordingly.

=== Please note ===

**NOTE:** This is a community-developed plugin. Your PRs are welcome.

For feature requests and issue reports, please
[open a pull request](https://github.com/hCaptcha/hcaptcha-wordpress-plugin).

We also suggest emailing the authors of plugins you'd like to support hCaptcha: it will usually take them only an hour or two to add native support. This will simplify your use of hCaptcha and is the best solution in the long run.

You may use native hCaptcha support if available for your plugin. Please check with your plugin author if native support is not yet available.

However, the hCaptcha plugin provides a broader set of options and features so that you can use it with any form on your site.

Instructions for popular native integrations are below:

* [WPForms native integration: instructions to enable hCaptcha](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-use-hcaptcha-in-wpforms)
