EffectIO Directorist Google reCAPTCHA 2.2.1

Description:

Directorist Google reCAPTCHA is an extension for the Directorist plugin that uses the reCAPTCHA service from Google to help protect a directory listing website from spam and abusive activity carried out by automated software. A CAPTCHA is a turing test used to authenticate a web action, one that is usually easy for humans to solve but hard for bots and other malicious software to figure out. This extension brings that functionality to a directory website so it stays secure against the malicious activities that happen on the web.

The extension stops bad bots from submitting fake listings by displaying a reCAPTCHA challenge on the add listing form, and it prevents fake or spam user registration by showing the same challenge on the registration form. It relies on an advanced risk analysis engine from Google and can verify an interaction without any human participation, which helps legitimise online activity on the site.

The extension is very lightweight and easy to operate, with a simple interface for customising its settings. Two themes are available, dark and light, the label for the reCAPTCHA challenge is customisable, and the challenge can be shown or hidden based on user roles. It requires the Directorist plugin, WordPress 4.0 or higher, and PHP 7 or higher.
