Directorist Google reCAPTCHA

Directory sites attract spam. Fake listings, junk contact messages and made-up reviews clutter the data and make a directory harder to trust. Directorist Google reCAPTCHA places a reCAPTCHA check on the forms where visitors submit content, so automated bots are stopped before their entries reach your site.

The add-on works with the Directorist forms that matter most: listing submission, contact, review submission and user registration. You can pick the reCAPTCHA version that fits your visitors, and the settings are managed through a simple interface with no coding. It suits directory owners who want cleaner submissions and less moderation work.

Features

• Protects Directorist forms: The reCAPTCHA check covers listing submission, contact forms, review submissions and user registration, so spam is addressed across the directory instead of in one place.
• Google reCAPTCHA bot detection: It uses Google reCAPTCHA to tell automated bots from real people, aiming to stop spam without getting in the way of genuine users.
• Three reCAPTCHA versions: Choose reCAPTCHA v2 with the "I'm not a robot" checkbox, Invisible reCAPTCHA, or reCAPTCHA v3, depending on the experience you want visitors to have.
• No coding needed to configure: Settings are handled through a user-friendly interface, so you can activate the protection and adjust options without writing any code.
• Fewer fake listings and reviews: Blocking automated submissions helps keep spam listings, malicious content and fraudulent reviews out of your directory and protects its reputation.
• Smooth for real visitors: Adaptive challenges keep friction low, so genuine users can submit their forms while spammers are kept out.
• Built to stay light: The add-on is designed to work efficiently on your WordPress site without adding noticeable weight to page loading.
