Spam is the worst, it’s annoying and time-consuming to manage. Thats why Kadence created Kadence reCaptcha. It comes included with our Themes and Membership packages. After installing the plugin you will need to get a google reCaptcha API key. You can go here to set that up for free: https://www.google.com/recaptcha
When you are creating a new API, make sure to select reCaptcha v2 for the type.
After you add a domain, accept the terms and create you will get to a page that shows both your site key and secret key. Copy one at the time and past into the Kadence reCaptcha settings.
Within the WordPress admin navigate to settings > reCAPTCHA Settings, and add API keys
Configure your site’s reCAPTCHA settings:
Within Kadence reCaptcha you can enable which forms you want to use reCaptcha. For example, you can enable for comments and even logins.
Next, you can choose how you want the reCaptcha form styled
For concerns about GDPR, there is a privacy consent option that prevents the form from running until the user consents to your site privacy policy (which should include a note about Google reCaptcha).
See the next image for an example of how this can look in your comment box.
Log out of WordPress and test your reCAPTCHA:
