Afosto CMS - Apps - reCAPTCHA

Nothing more annoying than your mailbox full of spam, coming from your contact form. Google has a service that checks that you are not a spam-sending bot, through a tool called reCAPTCHA. This tutorial covers creating reCAPTCHA credentials and setting up the plugin on the Afosto environment.

##Create reCaptcha credentials To use reCAPTCHA you need to create credentials. This can be done via the following link:

Manage reCAPTCHA Keys

  • Fill in a recognizable label under Register a new site, for example: Afosto reCAPTCHA.

  • Choose the option reCAPTCHA V2 and from the options that appear select 'I am not a robot'.

  • Next, enter the url of your site(s) under Domains.

  • Enter your email address

  • Save the settings

As soon as you click register you will be taken to the screen with your unique credentials.
