On setting up Captcha in the WP job portal plugin. We’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of adding Captcha to your website to enhance security and prevent spam.
Captcha Settings
For Captcha settings, as an administrator, navigate to the Admin Dashboard → Dashboard Menu → Configurations → Visitor’s Settings → Captcha Settings. Once on this page, you’ll find options related to Captcha settings that you can implement on your site.
Captcha Setting
The first setting is about choosing whether to display a Captcha on the registration form. Next, let’s proceed to select the Captcha type. The plugin offers two types of Captcha: WP Job Portal Captcha and Google Captcha.
Setting Up WP Job Portal Captcha
First, we’ll walk through setting up the WP Job Portal Captcha.
In the Captcha settings section, select the Captcha type as WP Job Portal Captcha. For the WP Job Portal Captcha, you can further set up the Captcha calculation type, opting for either addition or subtraction. Additionally, you can customize settings, such as ensuring positive answers for subtraction, and specify the number of operands for the WP Job Portal Captcha.
After setting up the parameters for your Captcha, you have additional options to specify where the Captcha will appear for visitors. You can choose to display the Captcha on different forms based on the visitor’s role:
- For visitors acting as employers, you can show the Captcha on the job form.
- For visitors acting as job seekers, you can display the Captcha on the resume form, job alert form, and the ‘tell a friend’ popup.
Once you’ve configured these settings to your preference, be sure to save the configuration to enable Captcha on the relevant pages of your site.
Setting Up Google Captcha
Now, let’s proceed to set up Google Captcha for your Job Portal site. First, head back to the Captcha settings section and select the Captcha type as Google Captcha. Then, navigate to the Google reCaptcha settings section.
For Google reCaptcha, there are two versions available: Google reCaptcha version 2 and Google reCaptcha version 3. You can enable Captcha using both versions as per your requirements. Make sure to enter the necessary site and secret keys provided by Google for each version to activate the Captcha functionality on your site. After configuring the settings, remember to save the changes to ensure that Google Captcha is properly implemented.
Google reCaptcha V2
Let’s start with version 2. After selecting version 2, you’ll need a Google reCaptcha site key and private key to enable the Captcha. To obtain these keys, copy the Google reCAPTCHA website link and open it in a new tab in your browser. Ensure that you are logged into your Google account; if not, log in to access the Google reCAPTCHA website. Follow the instructions on the Google reCAPTCHA site to generate your site key and private key.

- Choose the Type: Select reCAPTCHA version 2.
- Fill in Authorized Domains: Enter your website’s domain(s) where the reCAPTCHA will be used.
- Click Submit: This will generate a new API key pair.
After registering your site, you will receive a Site Key and Secret Key. Copy these keys and paste them into the corresponding fields in the WP Job Portal settings section. Once you have pasted the keys, save your configurations, and Google reCAPTCHA will be enabled for the visitor end. Now, Google reCAPTCHA version 2 has been successfully enabled.
Google reCaptcha V3
Let’s now set up Google reCAPTCHA version 3 for your Job Portal website. First, select reCAPTCHA version 3. Then, copy the Google reCAPTCHA website link and open it in a new tab in your browser. Follow the instructions on the Google reCAPTCHA site to generate your site key and private key.
Once you have obtained the keys, copy them and return to the plugin’s settings. Enter the site key and private key to enable Google reCAPTCHA version 3 for your Job Portal site. Now, Google reCAPTCHA version 3 has been successfully enabled.
