Google reCAPTCHA

reCAPTCHA blocks automated bots on Pro login, signup, and password-reset forms.

Configure under WP ULike → Settings → Login & Signup.

Step 1: Create keys at Google

1. Visit Google reCAPTCHA Admin.
2. Register a new site:
   • Label — e.g. your site name
   • reCAPTCHA type — v2 ("I'm not a robot" / invisible) or v3 (score-based)
   • Domains — your domain only (no http://, www, or trailing slash — e.g. example.com)
3. Click Submit and copy the Site key and Secret key.

Keys for v2 and v3 are not interchangeable. If you switch types in WP ULike, generate new keys at Google.

Step 2: Enter keys in WP ULike

1. Go to WP ULike → Settings → Login & Signup.
2. Toggle Enable Google reCAPTCHA.
3. Choose reCAPTCHA Type — v2 or v3.
4. Paste the matching Site Key and Secret Key (separate fields for v2 and v3).

Optional v2 options: challenge type (image/audio), language, theme, size.

Global scripts

Enable Enable Global reCAPTCHA Scripts if reCAPTCHA must load outside standard form pages — for example modal login or custom hooks.

Step 3: Test the forms

1. Open login and signup pages in a private browser window.
2. Confirm the reCAPTCHA widget (v2) or invisible challenge (v3) appears.
3. Submit a form — invalid or missing responses show errors from Translations → Strings → reCAPTCHA Notices.

The widget does not appear until valid keys are saved. Wrong keys produce errors on the form where reCAPTCHA should render.
