Absolute garbage – nothing works

jessebrightman 1, Mayu de 2025
Absolute garbage spam upsell junk plugin. Older versions were great but now it’s just bloatware and plain doesn’t work and forces you into paid junk.

Awesome plugin

Quotes Ninja 27, Marzu de 2025
I’m using this plugin since 2 years. I mostly use this plugin for comment form. Must use plugin for login, registration and comments form.

After Install This Plugin Now I am not able to Login

Yeasir Arafat 23, Marzu de 2025
After Install this Plugin I am not able to login with my username and password It is may be changing my login details …Do not Install … I am requesting the developer to make a quick fix for this …

Always problems

masterita 27, Febreru de 2025
The basic functions of this plugin do not work, so I don’t trust paying for the pro-plan will be worth it. So many users complain about not being able to log in daily. Even when I try to set the very basic “I AM NOT A ROBOT” button, it always asks the math question, which apparently thinks math is racist because 2+2 does not equal 4 with this plugin.

Not Working

Besalb Kercuku 31, Xineru de 2025
I have carefully followed all the procedures (this isn’t my first time), yet Google reCaptcha v3 is still not appearing on my site. It’s simply not working!

Recaptcha refuses constantly to work

martinloehr 16, Xineru de 2025
Using a simple basic domain and setup WP with standard features to try the recaptcha Plugin delieveres consequently the same error, even if the key check inside the plugin says “All Okay”.There is NO Subdomain or any other structure which can make it difficult, its only a simple DE domain which tells me fehlerhinweis für inhaber der website invalid domain for site key.But it is not its clearly defines at google recaptcha, not used for another domain NO only for one domain.So I think there is a clear improvement error which has to be found.In the meantime we will uninstall the plugin otherwise the website and so the business is interupted.Let me know when the error is fixed.Thanks
