Integrate hCaptcha

You can add hCaptcha to your HTML Forms very easily. It’s a simple three-step process:

Step #1

Install and activate the hCaptcha plugin, create a free hCaptcha account and add your credentials in the hCaptcha plugin settings.

Step #2

As of version 3.5.0, the hCaptcha plugin offers a direct integration with HTML Forms. Simply go to the Integrations tab of the hCaptcha plugin’s settings, find the HTML Forms box, and select the “Form” toggle like so:

Turning this integration on will automatically add the hCaptcha fields necessary to your forms. You won’t have to do anything else. When viewing your forms in the form editor, the hCaptcha fields can be seen above your submit button.

Step #3

GitHub user despecial recommends this additional code snippet to filter out the hCaptcha fields from your form results:

// Filter hCaptcha fields
function ignored_hf_fields() {
	return array(
		'hcaptcha-widget-id',
		'g-recaptcha-response',
		'h-captcha-response',
		'html_forms_form_nonce',
	);
}
add_filter('hf_ignored_field_names','ignored_hf_fields');

In an upcoming release of HTML Forms, these fields will be removed automatically.
