This plugin utilizes Google reCAPTCHA to help your blog stay clear of spams.
BWP reCAPTCHA supports no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA, Contact Form 7 and Akismet.
== Description ==
In the 21th century, spamming could be one of the most annoying problems for a
website. Especially if you use some publishing platforms like WordPress, your
blog WILL be spammed and no default methods will save you from such nightmare.
This plugin utilizes the popular anti-spam library, Google reCAPTCHA, to help
your blog stay clear of spams.
The new no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA, Contact Form 7 and Akismet are supported out of
the box.

== Changelog ==
= 2.0.3 (2016-01-13) =
- **New Features**
- Allow adding custom CSS rules to control the look and feel of
recaptcha instances. To enable this feature, navigate to *BWP
reCAPT >> Theme Options*, choose to enable Custom CSS, and then
customize the default CSS rules however you like.
- **Enhancements**
- Allow setting a request method to work around the "invalid-json" error.
With this change fsockopen is preferred to cURL, and will be the first
to be used to communicate with reCAPTCHA's server.
- **Other Changes**
- Marked as compatible with WordPress 4.4+.
- Update language template file and translation files. If you're a
translator, please help translating this plugin (your name and website
will be listed on this plugin's page!) For more info, see:
<http://betterwp.net/wordpress-tips/create-pot-file-using-poedit/>
- **Bugs fixed**
- Fix a bug that results in captcha not showing on certain login pages.
Affected login pages include:
- Login page that uses secured HTTP (HTTPS)
- Login page of a child blog in a sub-directory multisite
installation.
= 2.0.2 (2015-10-30) =
- **New Features**
- Add an option to treat invalid captcha as spam or a validation error.
For more info, see:
<http://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet/>.
- If you treat invalid captcha as validation error, it is now
possible to customize the error message shown under the captcha
as well.
- Previously, for the `recaptcha` shortcode tag to work you must add
it to your form like this: `[recaptcha a-field-name]`. The field
name is now optional, but is still needed if you want to show the
error message.
- **Other Changes**
- Update language template file. If you're a translator, please help
translating this plugin! For more info, see:
<http://betterwp.net/wordpress-tips/create-pot-file-using-poedit/>
- Display recaptcha error code when an unknown error occurs.
- Show the option to toggle recaptcha version in PHP 5.3.2+ only. This
means in PHP < 5.3.2 there's no option to select recaptcha version,
recaptcha version 1 will always be used. This should affect the theme
options page as well.
- Add back support for PHP 5.2.
- **Bugs fixed**
- Should always set a correct width for login/registration form so
recaptcha fits well inside.
- Fix recaptcha v1's display in themes that define `table-layout: fixed`
- Auto-detect request method for recaptcha v2 to support server with
`allow_url_fopen` disabled.
= 2.0.0 =

- Add support for multiple reCAPTCHA instances per page (reCAPTCHA
version 2 only)
- Add an HTTPS setting for reCAPTCHA version 1
- **Enhancements**

- Add support for custom login/register paths
- Add reCAPTCHA before the submit field in comment form for WordPress 4.2

- Use a lower priority when filter the `comment_form_defaults` filter
hook so reCAPTCHA can still be added to themes that filter it as well
- **Other Changes**
- Change minimum PHP version required to 5.3.2
- Show the captcha to all users (including admins) by default
- Contact Form 7:
- The shortcode `[bwp-recaptcha]` has been deprecated, use
`[recaptcha recaptcha-xxx]` instead.
- `bwp-recaptcha` will continue to work for Contact Form 7 prior to
version 4.1 (last supported is 4.0.3). `bwprecaptcha` and
`bwp_recaptcha` will still work with version 4.1+, so you won't
have to manually update any form if you're using them.
- Add a Croatian translation
- Layerthemes.com has become an official sponsor for BWP Plugins!
- **Bugs fixed**
- Fix Akismet integration not working properly
- Don't output comment form related fields in other forms, which leads to
extraneous markups in Contact Form 7 forms

- Fix an issue where saving sub blog's API keys overwrites network's API
keys in a multisite installation
