Generate reCaptcha API keys

Every key can open a locked door. reCAPTCHA keys are utilized to authenticate that the user is a human. Google reCAPTCHA offers two keys: Site key and Secret key. To use ReCaptcha, you need to register your website and obtain the necessary keys.

Setting up Captcha in Contact Form 7

After the fortunate installation, go to the Dashboard, click the Contact on the left side, then click on Integration. On the right side of the menu, you will find the option for “Integration with External API”. Please locate the reCaptcha popup and click on “Setup Integration” to initiate the setup process.

After clicking “Setup Integration“, a popup will appear with input fields for Captcha keys. Paste your Site Key into the site key input field and your Secret Key into the secret key input field. Then click on the Save Changes button.

You can see that reCaptcha is active now.

Adding Captcha into the Form
