Extending Invisible reCaptcha

Here are some useful hooks to help developers integrate Invisible reCaptcha with any plugin or custom form

Actions

- google_invre_render_widget_action - renders the recaptcha widget

Filters

- google_invre_is_valid_request_filter   - used to check if Google approved the request (returns bool true/false)
- google_invre_widget_output_html_filter - used to change the recaptcha widget output
- google_invre_language_code_filter      - used to change the badge/challenge language code
- google_invre_badge_position_filter     - used to change the badge position (possible returning values are: 'bottomright', 'bottomleft', 'inline')

Examples of using Invisible reCaptcha hooks

  • Add Invisible reCaptcha into any form

    Just call
    do_action(‘google_invre_render_widget_action’);
    anywhere before form closing tag

  • Validate form post request

    $is_valid = apply_filters(‘google_invre_is_valid_request_filter’, true);
    if( ! $is_valid )
    {
    // handle error here
    }
    else
    {
    // continue with your logic
    }

  • Change the badge/challenge language code

    add_filter( ‘google_invre_language_code_filter’, ‘myprefix_change_recaptcha_language’ );
    function myprefix_change_recaptcha_language($language_code){
    $language_code = ‘fr’; // French
    return $language_code;
    }

<p>We use v2 recaptcha code + this plugin on a “all” of our sites with gravity forms. Unfortunately we have GF on the home page (for capturing leads) where this loads and it adds a bunch of bloat (granted from google). It would be nice if there was a way to optimize this so it didn’t load an additional 20-25 requests. </p> <p>Pros: drops spam considerably with gravity forms. Easy to implement.<br> Cons: slows your pagespeed scores down, can’t defer JS otherwise it may not work. Adds about 20 or more resources from google just to enable recaptcha v2.</p> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p>UPDATE – invisible captcha has not worked for a very long time. I don’t believe it’s a plugin issue, it’s just the captcha service does not really work anymore. Bots have figured a way around this.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Thanks to this plugin not having been tested with the last 3 major WordPress updates, it managed to break my CF7 forms and Google Analytics form submission tracking from one day to the other. It looks like this plugin was abandoned, so I strongly advise against installing it. Unreliable!
