How to set up Google recaptcha in Joomla! 3.4.0 and later
Google introduced a no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA API in December 2014. Joomla! 3.4.0, and later, has updated the reCAPTCHA plugin to protect your login and registration forms against spam. While still supporting the old reCAPTCHA 1.0, you can now use the reCAPTCHA version 2.0. A significant number of your users can now attest they are human without having to solve a CAPTCHA. Instead with just a single click they’ll confirm they are not a robot!
Get reCAPTCHA
- Go to: https://www.google.com/recaptcha
- Click on the top right button Get reCAPTCHA
- Sign up with your Google account. If you don't have one yet, create one.
- Register your new site by filling the necessary parameters.
Google reCAPTCHA will provide you 2 keys:
- 1 Site key
- 1 Secret key
Set up Captcha - ReCaptcha Plugin
- Login to your backend
- Go to Extensions → Plugins → Captcha - ReCaptcha
- Edit the plugin:
- Status: set to Enable
- Version: choose 2.0
- Site key and Secret key: Copy and paste the Site and Secret keys provided by Google reCAPTCHA in their appropriate fields.
- Theme: choose one of the 2 available themes.
- Click Save & Close.
Enable Captcha - ReCaptcha
For Contact forms and the Registration form
- Go to System → Global Configuration → Site tab
- Default Captcha: select Captcha-ReCaptcha
- Click Save & Close.
For the Registration form only
- Go to Users → Manage
- Click on the Options button at the top right and select the Component tab.
- In the Captcha option, choose one of the following:
- Use Default: It's the default setting and follows the Default Captcha field setting in your Global Configuration.
- None Selected: This setting ignors the Default Captcha setting in Global Configuration. Use it when you want ReCAPTCHA in the Contact forms but not in the Registration form.
- Captcha - ReCaptcha: Only needed if the Default Captcha in the Global Configuration is set to None Selected but you want the ReCAPTCHA in the Registration form only, and not in the contact forms.
- Click Save & Close.
You can now use the ReCaptcha in your forms!
Don't forget to test your ReCaptcha to ensure it is working!
