<p>This plugin has two modes – basic and Akismet-enhanced.</p>
<p><strong>Basic mode</strong>: the plugin will serve a CAPTCHA to all commenters that aren’t logged in and don’t have a previously approved comment. Repeat commenters will never see a CAPTCHA.</p>
<p><strong>Akismet-enhanced mode (recommended)</strong>: the plugin will serve a CAPTCHA only if Akismet identifies a comment as spam (much less frequently than the basic mode). Just install an activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/" rel="ugc">Akismet</a> to enable this mode.</p>
<p>Note that a CAPTCHA will only appear <strong>after</strong> a comment is submitted. When a commenter is served a CAPTCHA:</p>
<ul>
<li>If they fail, then the comment will be automatically discarded or trashed (and won’t clutter up your spam queue).</li>
<li>If they pass, it will be allowed into the spam queue (or approved, if you so choose). This means that any false positives from Akismet will be easily identified without you having to trawl through all the spam comments manually.</li>
</ul>
<p>Most genuine commenters will be able to comment on your site hassle-free, without ever seeing a CAPTCHA.</p>
<p>The default CAPTCHA is a simple text-based test. There is also the option to use <a href="http://www.google.com/recaptcha" rel="nofollow ugc">reCAPTCHA</a> if you want something more robust (free API key required). You can also style the CAPTCHA page to fit with your own WordPress theme.</p>
<p>If you come across any bugs or have suggestions, please use the plugin support forum or <a href="http://rayofsolaris.net/contact/" rel="nofollow ugc">email me</a>. I can’t fix it if I don’t know it’s broken! Please check the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-conditional-captcha/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQs</a> for common issues.</p>

<p>This plugin adds lines to the virtual robots.txt file (that WordPress creates automagically if the file is not present physically on the server) to block the archive.org bots.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Please be aware of what this plugin does exactly: If you activate the plugin it will add some lines to the robots.txt file to tell the <a href="https://archive.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Archive.org bots</a> <strong>not to crawl and index</strong> your page. This means that they won’t store a backup of your site and you won’t be able to browse the different versions of the website through time.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that if you activate this plugin and your site is deleted from the archive.org index, you can’t undo this. If you remove the plugin and the block of the archive.org bot, they’ll start again crawling and indexing the website from that moment, but all the older information is lost. <strong>Be carefull and think if this is what you want to do!</strong>. If you mess it nobody will not be able to help you (neither we or archive.org).</p>

<p><strong>Please only activate this plugin if you know what you’re doing</strong>.</p>
