WP Email Capture 3.9 Released – reCAPTCHA integration

Today I’m delighted to announce the release of WP Email Capture 3.9, for both premium & free users.

This version adds a heavily requested feature, spam protection, to the plugin.

reCAPTCHA v3 Integration

WP Email Capture 3.9 adds reCAPTCHA v3 to the plugin. Going to the reCAPTCHA website and grabbing free keys to the site, adding them to the settings page for WP Email Capture, you can then be rest assured that reCAPTCHA will be protecting your site from Spam.

reCAPTCHA works by assigning a score to your signups. If they don’t hit a certain score value (0.5), then it’ll block the user. It works on the principle that said users are low value and don’t pass the spam check.

This can, of course, change. You have access to a filter to tighten/loosen the spam filter (entitled wpec_recaptcha_score). It may become an option going forward.

The update 3.9 adds both the processing script and the option to the page.
