<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<p>On a <strong>WP Multisite</strong> you can either activate the plugin network wide or on a single site.</p>
<p>Activated on a single site everything works as usual.</p>
<p>With network activation entering the API key and setting up where a captcha is required<br />
is up to the network admin. A blog admin can override the API key e.g. when his blog is<br />
running under his/her own domain name.</p>
<h4>Known Limitations</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>You can’t have more than one old style reCaptcha on a page. This is a limitiation of<br />
reCaptcha itself. If that’s an issue for you, you should use the no Captcha Form.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A No Captcha definitely requires client side JavaScript enabled. That’s how it does its<br />
sophisticated bot detection magic. There is no fallback. If your visitor does not have<br />
JS enabled the captcha test will not let him through.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>On a <strong>Contact Form 7</strong> when the reCaptcha is disabled (e.g. for logged in users) the field<br />
label will be still visible. This is due to CF7 Shortcode architecture, and can’t be fixed.</p>
<p>To handle this there is a filter <code>recaptcha_disabled_html</code>. You can return a message for your logged-in<br />
users here. Check out the <a href="https://github.com/tareq1988/wp-recaptcha-integration" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub Repo</a> for details.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>As of version 4.3 CF7 comes with its own recaptcha. Both are supposed to work together.<br />
I you want to keep the WP ReCaptcha functionality, e.g. if you want to hide the captcha<br />
from known users, leave the integration in the CF7 settings unconfigured.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Old style reCaptcha does not work together with <strong>WooCommerce</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In <strong>WooCommerce</strong> the reset password form can not be protected by a captcha. Woocommerce does<br />
not fire any action in the lost password form, so there is no way for the plugin to hook in.<br />
Take a look at <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-not-showing-on-lost-password-page?replies=7" rel="ugc">this thread</a> for a workaround.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Due to a lack of filters there is no (and as far as one can see, there will never be)<br />
support for the <strong>MailPoet</strong> subscription form.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Plugin API</h3>
<p>The plugin offers some filters to allow themes and other plugins to hook in.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/tareq1988/wp-recaptcha-integration" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub-Repo</a> for details.</p>


ReCaptcha Integration for WordPress

This plugin is very robust. It replaces another reCAPTCHA plugin I was using. I like this one because it works with WooCommerce, and protects login, lost password, and commenting forms.

Very Robust. Easy To Setup

This was the only plugin I could find that added a Captcha to the WooCommerce guest checkout. All the others either need to be paid for or only add a captcha to the login and registration pages. I wish this plugin was more visible so I hadn't wasted time with inferior offerings.

Nice job weDevs and thanks!

<p><strong>SPAM NEVER STOPS.</strong><br />
<strong>Start with your site.</strong><br />
<strong>── MUTE : Good for the world.</strong></p>
<p>Is your inbox full of junk you never asked for?</p>
<p>Every day, countless WordPress site owners open their inbox to find it buried under fake inquiries, promotional garbage, and suspicious links — all submitted through their own contact form. Real customer messages get lost. You waste time sorting through it all. And no matter how many times you delete them, the spam just keeps getting sent again.</p>
<p><strong>MUTE is a spam blocker that puts an end to that — silently, automatically, and without making your real visitors jump through any hoops.</strong></p>
<h4>The Problem You’re Probably Dealing With</h4>
<p>You’re not alone. These are the situations we hear about every day:</p>
<ul>
<li>You run a restaurant. Your contact form was meant for customer inquiries — but every time you open it, it’s full of scam emails and unsolicited sales links. Exhausting before the day even starts.</li>
<li>You manage an e-commerce site. Your inquiry form is buried under spam every night. Real customer questions keep getting pushed to the back, and response times are slipping.</li>
<li>You run a salon. A message from a new client gets lost among spam emails. By the time you reply, they’ve already moved on.</li>
<li>You’re in sales at a small business. Every morning you sift through virus-laden links and shady solicitations just to find the one real lead that came in overnight.</li>
<li>Your team has started ignoring the contact form because it’s mostly junk — sales pitches, phishing emails, fraudulent messages. Real customer needs go unanswered.</li>
<li>You added CAPTCHA to stop the spam. Customers complained it was frustrating to use. Inquiries dropped. The spam kept coming anyway.</li>
<li>You’ve tried other anti-spam plugins. Bots still slip through. The junk never stops.</li>
</ul>
<p>Bots (automated programs) are constantly crawling the web, hunting for unprotected contact forms to exploit. Once they find yours, the fake submissions keep getting sent again and again. Standard solutions like CAPTCHA ask your real visitors to prove they’re human — that friction costs you leads.</p>
<p>There’s a better way.</p>
<h4>How MUTE Solves It</h4>
<p>MUTE works as a silent spam blocker running in the background of your site. It detects bot behavior before a form is ever submitted — no puzzles, no checkboxes, no interruption for real visitors.</p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A lightweight script loads automatically on every page of your site</li>
<li>It monitors form activity using multiple detection layers — honeypot traps, behavioral analysis, and browser checks</li>
<li>Bots are identified and blocked before their fake submissions ever reach your inbox</li>
<li>Real visitors experience absolutely nothing different — their messages go through normally</li>
</ul>
<p>The result: your inbox contains only real inquiries from real people.</p>
<h4>What Changes After You Install MUTE</h4>
<ul>
<li>The restaurant owner who dreaded opening the contact form can now check it without stress — every message there is a real inquiry.</li>
<li>The e-commerce team that was always behind on replies can now respond to real customer questions quickly. Better response times, better service.</li>
<li>The salon staff who worried about missing a new client’s message can now reply with confidence — every message that arrives is real.</li>
<li>The sales team member who spent every morning digging through junk can now get to real leads immediately. More time for actual work.</li>
<li>Staff who had lost trust in the contact form now check it every day — because they know what’s there is genuine.</li>
<li>Real visitors never encounter a CAPTCHA. Your form stays smooth and easy to use.</li>
</ul>
<p>Your contact form does what it was always meant to do: connect you directly with real customers. Checking it goes from a chore to a natural part of the day.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Silent spam protection</strong> — blocks bots automatically, with zero impact on real visitors</li>
<li><strong>No CAPTCHA required</strong> — no friction, no puzzles, no drop-off in form completions</li>
<li><strong>Works with popular form plugins</strong> — Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, and more</li>
<li><strong>One-line installation</strong> — activate the plugin and it works. No settings to configure</li>
<li><strong>Live stats in your WordPress dashboard</strong> — see how many spam submissions have been blocked</li>
<li><strong>14-day free trial</strong> — no credit card required to get started</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>A free MUTE account is required. Sign up at <a href="https://mute-it.com/en/" rel="nofollow ugc">mute-it.com</a> — no credit card required for the 14-day free trial.</p>
<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to an external service operated by Ryu-Raku Inc. to provide spam detection and account management features. Your site communicates with this service to enable spam blocking and to display your account status in the WordPress admin panel. No personal visitor data is collected or transmitted.</p>
