Really Simple CAPTCHA does not work alone and is intended to work with other plugins. It is originally created for <a href="https://contactform7.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Contact Form 7</a>, however, you can use it with your own plugin.
Note: This product is “really simple” as its name suggests, i.e., it is not strongly secure. If you need perfect security, you should try other solutions.
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
Really Simple CAPTCHA does not use PHP “Sessions” for storing states, unlike many other PHP CAPTCHA solutions, but stores them as temporary files. This allows you to embed it into WordPress without worrying about conflicts.
When you generate a CAPTCHA, Really Simple CAPTCHA creates two files for it; one is an image file of CAPTCHA, and the other is a text file which stores the correct answer to the CAPTCHA.
The two files have the same (random) prefix in their file names, for example, “a7hk3ux8p.png” and “a7hk3ux8p.txt.” In this case, for example, when the respondent answers “K5GF” as an answer to the “a7hk3ux8p.png” image, then Really Simple CAPTCHA calculates hash of “K5GF” and tests it against the hash stored in the “a7hk3ux8p.txt” file. If the two match, the answer is confirmed as correct.
<h4>How to use with your plugin</h4>
Note: Below are instructions for plugin developers.
First, create an instance of ReallySimpleCaptcha class:
<pre><code>$captcha_instance = new ReallySimpleCaptcha();
</code></pre>
You can change the instance variables as you wish.
<pre><code>// Change the background color of CAPTCHA image to black
$captcha_instance->bg = array( 0, 0, 0 );
</code></pre>
See really-simple-captcha.php if you are interested in other variables.
Generate a random word for CAPTCHA.
<pre><code>$word = $captcha_instance->generate_random_word();
</code></pre>
Generate an image file and a corresponding text file in the temporary directory.
<pre><code>$prefix = wp_rand();
$captcha_instance->generate_image( $prefix, $word );
</code></pre>
Then, show the image and get an answer from respondent.
Check the correctness of the answer.
<pre><code>$correct = $captcha_instance->check( $prefix, $the_answer_from_respondent );
</code></pre>
If the $correct is true, go ahead. Otherwise, block the respondent — as it would appear not to be human.
And last, remove the temporary image and text files, as they are no longer in use.
<pre><code>$captcha_instance->remove( $prefix );
</code></pre>
That’s all.

Really Simple CAPTCHA

Needed this for an installation with custom forms. I used the plugin developers instructions and was able to make a fully custom implementation based on server side validation within 30 minutes. No more spam bots misusing the forms. Thank you!

Great work - easy to implement

Really Simple CAPTCHA is a CAPTCHA module intended to be called from other plugins. It is originally created for my Contact Form 7 plugin.

Add an SVG image captcha and honeypot to your Contact Form 7 or WPForms form. Based on our interpretation this CAPTCHA plugin is GDPR compliant because the images are inline SVGs and no download of external resources happens, in addition no cookies or other storing mechanisms are used on the user’s device, this plugin will not slow down your site with additional header requests like Google’s ReCAPTCHA and respects your users privacy.
<h4>Directions [PLEASE READ]</h4>
Contact Form 7: 
Add the shortcode [cf7ic] to the form editor where you want the CAPTCHA to appear.
You can hide the CAPTCHA until a user interacts with the form, by adding “toggle” to the shortcode: [cf7ic “toggle”]
WPForms: 
Just activate the CAPTCHA for WPForms on the plugin’s settings page.
Like the plugin? 
Please consider leaving a review.
As of version 3.2.0, Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields is now fully supported! You no longer need to add <code>[hidden kc_captcha "kc_human"]</code> to forms that do not include the [cf7ic] shortcode.

Contact Form 7 Image CAPTCHA, WPForms Image CAPTCHA, Contact Form 7 Spam Image CAPTCHA, WPForms Spam Image CAPTCHA, GDPR

All good, but today I've added some WPBakery Tabs block with buttons and have a lot of errors about not existing contact form when click the tab buttons. So I've fixed your script to enable captcha on form focus, now it really works only at CF7. Please replace your existing CF7 script function to my one:



function cf7ic_toggle()
{
 echo '<script type="text/javascript">
 document.addEventListener("focusin", cf7ic_display);

 function cf7ic_display(event){
 if(event.target.form && event.target.form.querySelector(".cf7ic-toggle")) {
 event.target.form.querySelector(".captcha-image").style.display = "block";
 }
 }

 document.addEventListener( "wpcf7mailsent", function( event ) {
 if (event.target.querySelector(".captcha-image")) {
 event.target.querySelector(".captcha-image").style.display = "none";
 document.activeElement.blur();
 }
 }, false );
 </script>';
}

JS needs to be fixed


Love the Plugin in its simplicity. The support is lightning fast!







Thanks So much


Great Support and Great Plugin
