Verdict
BuddyPress reCAPTCHA offers a straightforward way to add reCAPTCHA to BuddyPress registrations, but requires technical knowledge for setup and has not been updated in several years.
From the developer
algorhythm's own description of BuddyPress reCAPTCHA, lightly tidied.
This Plugin integrates the Google reCAPTCHA Service Modul in the BuddyPress Template Page ‘register.php’. The file is located in ‘/wp-content/themes/{name}/registration/register.php’. The plugin adds the new feature by adding an action on ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’. Therefore the ‘register.php’ must contain the line ‘do_action( ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’ )’. My one was generated with the famous plugin BuddyPress Template Pack. It makes a normal WordPress-Template ready for use with BuddyPress. The missing files in the template will be added.
Some Features
- not yet, the plugin has no admin-page, but it will follow
- at the beginning of the ‘bp-recaptcha.php’ are some variables to add/change the reCAPTCHA Api keys, style of reCAPTCHA, language and texts
Languages
- English, but can be switched very simple
Notice: The installation of this plugin will require additional work. Edit the ‘bp-recaptcha.php’ file to make your settings.
