Enable Captcha

[mctwisty]

I did my research and look across this site, but I did not see anything about implementing captcha.

How would one go about this?

Thanks!

ReCAPTCHA may be a good choice.

Read what they have available in terms of integration and then see how you can make it work with s2Member's code.

Do you want it for registration or log in?

[mctwisty]

Just registration page. What file do I add the code to?

[Cristián Lávaque]

I'm guessing that'd be one of the registration files... With your FTP client, look in this directory:

/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes

for the files that start with "register".

I'm not sure how you'd integrate the ReCAPTCHA, though, I have never integrated it before, but I'd search for the code that generates the registration form to add the CAPTCHA image, and the code that processes the submitted form and deals with missing/invalid fields to add the verification part.

Is there really no support for this? I am getting tons of spam registrations. I have implemented it on a regular form, can you be more specific on what file to edit?

I searched some more and found this in the FAQs.

Can s2Member implement a Captcha Code on my Login/Registration Forms?

Yes and no. We've left this feature out of the plugin intentionally, because many site owners prefer to use Captcha plugins that encompass all aspects of their site ( including comment forms ). We recommend this one: SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam. That being said, s2Member's Pro Forms for PayPal® Pro and Authorize.Net® ( including Free Registration Forms ) CAN be configured to use Google's reCAPTCHA service ( which is free ). Just add this Attribute to your Pro Form Shortcode ( captcha="clean" ).

Hope that helps.

It would help if it told me how to implement this on the wp-login.php?action=register page. I am getting tons of spam registrations. Its insane.

This is the plugin Jason mentions for this in the above quote:

Hope it helps you.
