Request – Captcha System

[Jonaro]

Hi, here is a request for a future update. A Captcha in the BuddyPress and/or WordPress Registration Page and Login Page. I am using 2 different simple Math Captcha Plugins for both, the Login WordPress Page and the BuddyPress Registration Page. The Plugins are:

For BuddyPress Registration Page:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-security-check/

For WordPress Login and bbPress:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/

Well, but unfortunately or fortunately, after reading this article:
http://www.calcatraz.com/blog/math-based-captcha-security-1551

I suppose, this is not a secure method.

But there is the reCaptcha and a lot other methods to protect forms, comments or signup, bbpress, buddypress registration and login.

In my opinion, in a promissing Theme with this quality, it is very important to strengthen it in terms of security!

So, here is my suggestion and request: A Captcha integrated system.

The plug-in “BuddyPress reCAPTCHA” may help. Once installed go to “Plugins > Editor” select BuddyPress reCAPTCHA from the drop down and enter your reCAPTCHA keys (public in public etc). Once added it will add this reCAPTCHA to the registration form only.

Further you could also possibly install “WangGuard” once set up properly it should keep a lot of the spam registrations out of your site.

Just some thoughts from a Kleo user.

Hey Kieran, Thank You!

I’m using the BuddyPress Security Check:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-security-check/

But, as I read, it is very insecure and easily bypassed by inteligent bots and scripts.
I will try the reCaptcha.
As for the WangGuard, it appears to be very complex and I’m affraid to conflict with other Plugins, i don’t know. I will try it to see…

Hi Jonaro, reCaptcha should be pretty secure. Try with the plugin Kieran suggested.
We think that this kind of functionality is best achieved using plugins so we can somehow separate theme features from extra functionality.

Cheers

Greetings,

I installed and activated reCAPTCHA and add the API keys as instructed, but it is not showing on the registration page.

I also have WangGuard and Askimet activated.

What should I do in order to have the captcha showing on the registration page?

I appreciate any help. Thank you, Veronica.

[Kieran]

I would double check you have have the public and private key in the right places and the right way round – Further I would also try disabling Askimet and see if it changes anything for you.

[vcarlton]

Thanks Kieran, I had already tried those two things, did it again now just in case I missed something….still nothing. The keys are correct and disabling Askimet doesn’t do anything.

Here is my registration page:

Anything else you can suggest that I can try?

Cheers!

Hi,

Are you using Kleo or SweetDate? This is a Kleo topic and I’ve never used SweetDate so I am unsure of any known issues.

Any chance you can post a list of the plugins you’re using? Have you tried turn ALL plugins off an enabling them one by testing to see for any interactions? you may also want to try enabling the 2014 or 2012 theme and see if the issues is still apparent when theme is switched.

I use this one, it’s pretty nice and works as it should: http://wordpress.org/plugins/pluscaptcha/

[Abe]

Those plugins should act similar on both themes since it is related more to Buddypress system

I installed the reCAPTCHA plugin and it didn’t work for me either. I am now using the NURCaptcha plugin (New User Register Captcha), which uses Google’s reCAPTCHA, and it works on the KLEO registration page with Buddypress!

instead of using contact form 7, use this. https://wordpress.org/plugins/si-contact-form/ or http://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms/

Fast contact form comes with captcha. On ninja forms you must buy an addons for captcha..But both are nice.
