ACF reCAPTCHA brings Google reCAPTCHA to <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a>, to be used on frontend forms.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>ACF reCAPTCHA Protection ensures that spambots cannot circumvent reCAPTCHA to submit forms on the server-side</li>
<li>ACF-compliant client-side validation which prompts the user if reCAPTCHA is not clicked or had expired</li>
<li>Customizable reCAPTCHA options, including theme (light/dark), type (image/audio) and size (normal/compact)</li>
<li>Compatible with ACF Conditional Logic feature, which allows hiding/showing certain fields until the reCAPTCHA has been passed</li>
</ul>
For more detailed setup instructions, or to report an issue, please head over to the GitHub repository <a href="https://github.com/irvinlim/acf-recaptcha" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
<h4>ACF Frontend Forms</h4>
ACF reCAPTCHA is meant to be used only on frontend forms, in order to protect them from spam by spambots.
To create a frontend form programmatically, please view the official documentation on the ACF website <a href="https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/create-a-front-end-form/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
<h4>ACF Compatibility</h4>
ACF reCAPTCHA is currently only compatible with ACF v5 at the moment. If you would like to help to add support for v4, do submit a PR on GitHub.

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

Prevent spam on your Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) v5 frontend forms with Google reCAPTCHA.

Restores the Custom Field meta box for the Gutenberg Block Editor.
Update: This plugin currently is not needed, as WordPress version 5.0+ displays Custom Fields natively. Just click the settings button (three dots) and go to Options, where you will find the option to display the Custom Fields meta box. So this plugin still works great, but it is recommended to use native WP custom fields instead.
