Advanced Custom Fields: reCAPTCHA Field

Although it seems this plugin was broken and not maintained for several months, I've installed it just now, exactly one week since it's last update - and it's simple functionality just - works.

I hope it will continue to work and that Google won't change much in their API, but in case something does break, I will return here to add comments to this review.

Till then, I believe the author deserves 5 stars for his effort, at least to improve the overall rating of the plugin which is currently (unjustified) 3.3

Keep up the good work!

Works out of the box (when the keys are entered)

Tried using this with an acf_form that created a new post, using the method to put it inside the acf_form() function. It worked, but you have to submit the form once before you can fill out the rest of the form. This actually creates blank posts!

And configuration is just very convoluted.

Some other reviews say it worked out of the box. What? Not for me. But I'm not using it in a field group, because it should only appear for guests. Oh well.

Kinda works
