### 󠀁[Works with Classic Editor only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-classic-editor-only/)󠁿

The plugin seems to work fine with the Classic Editor. This plugin has not been 
updated to handle how the Block Editor inserts the contact form. It inserts the 
reCAPTCHA code by looking for the [contact-form]…[/contact-form] tags. That works,
if you insert the form with the Classic Editor. I will be updating this plugin to
work with the Block Editor for my own purposes, and will either collaborate with
the current author or will release the revised code under the GPL license. (I prefer
to collaborate!) I may also implement V3 reCAPTCHA if I have the time…

### 󠀁[Plugin abandoned?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-48/)󠁿

I can´t believe Jetpack has amazing forms finally working fine, but I can´t use 
them because there is not a single plugin that integrates recaptcha with them. This
one looked promising, but the form keeps loading without being able to validate 
the user.

Very simple to configure, works very well in Wordpress 5.1.1 and Jetpack 7.1.1.

My blog is much to small to justify paying to Akismet, but I was still get 2-5 spam
emails a day through my contact form. I added this little plugin and that stopped
completely. It loads on desktop and mobile for my twentysixteen theme. Just be aware
that if a country blocks Google’s servers (eg China) then they won’t see a reCaptcha
and won’t be able to send you a message. Thanks very much dev!

Work as expected, Wordpress 4.9.8 and Jetpack 6.7

Probably Jetpack update has rendered this one obsolete 🙁
