Beskrywing

Adds GDPR compatible captcha code anti-spam protection to WordPress forms – comments form, registration form, lost password form, and login form. In order to post comments or register, users have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots & adds security. No external services (like Google ReCaptcha) are used. No API keys are needed, and no user-identifiable data is used so it’s GDPR compatible.

Features

  1. Captcha position – comments form, login form, registration form, or lost password form.
  2. Letters type – capital letters, small letters, or captial & small letters.
  3. Captcha type – alphanumeric, alphabets or numbers.
  4. Translation enabled.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin.
  2. Upload to your blog (/wp-content/plugins/).
  3. Activate it.
  4. Click the ‘Captcha’ menu.
  5. Fill in the options.
  6. You’re done!

Kwel-vrae

How to disable this plugin?

Just use standard Plugin overview page in WordPress admin section and deactivate it or rename plugin folder /wp-content/plugins/captcha-code-authentication over FTP access.

Will it slow my site down?

No, it won’t. It’s only loaded on the pages it protects.

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.

Uninstalling is as simple as deactivating and deleting the plugin.

cilycwmweb Februarie 14, 2026
seems to produce the same code nearly every time and fails. if I change from numeric code to alphanumeric code it still produces the same numeric code. and it still fails.

They doing spam

Atikur Rahman Shohel Julie 23, 2025 1 reply
I got surprised that, my fresh website sudden installed this plugin automatically. Even i never seen their name ever. They hide the plugin from WP Plugin list and uses as core plugin and uses option on WP Setting. Offering premium plan and doing huge spam. I recommend WP to remove their plugin for doing spam marketing and fraud install.

Not good

Waste of time,

it slows down your site

vitaligs Augustus 8, 2024
A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests. on the file wpcaptcha.php you should fix line 40 to 44 with this if ( !session_id() ) { session_start( [ ‘read_and_close’ => true, ] ); } I had to find it my way out
