Title: Feature Request: hCaptcha Support Last modified: May 15, 2023 --- # Feature Request: hCaptcha Support * Resolved [KZeni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kzeni/) * (@kzeni) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-hcaptcha-support/) * There’s an official hCaptcha plugin at [https://wordpress.org/plugins/hcaptcha-for-forms-and-more/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hcaptcha-for-forms-and-more/)( which nearly has as many active installs as Profile Builder & is well reviewed, actively supported, etc.) * Currently, the Profile Builder forms for login, register, forgot password, etc.(`[ wppb-login]`, `[wppb-register]`, and `[wppb-recover-password]`, respectively) just let the form submission go through as if hCaptcha isn’t enabled. This happens when all available integrations within the hCaptcha plugin are enabled as well as when the `[hcaptcha]` shortcode that plugin offers is also present on the page (that shortcode outputs the hCaptcha sitekey, callback, none, etc. elements while it then just doesn’t seem to catch the PB form submissions for some reason.) * I’ve submitted the request to the hCaptcha plugin’s GitHub at [https://github.com/hCaptcha/hcaptcha-wordpress-plugin/issues/99#issuecomment-1548193126](https://github.com/hCaptcha/hcaptcha-wordpress-plugin/issues/99#issuecomment-1548193126) so, ideally, Profile Builder can be included in the otherwise rather extensive list of integrations the hCaptcha plugin offers. * I’m wondering if this is something that could be collaborated on as these are both fairly popular & well regarded plugins that are missing compatibility with each other when it would make sense to have it be supported for the benefit of both plugins. * I’d also be okay with things maybe being adjusted on Profile Builder’s end of things to make it so the `[hcaptcha]` shortcode can hook into the forms PB outputs& show the hCaptcha challenge on form submission. Though, a more formal integration( probably via a PR to the hCaptcha plugin) would help with ease of use & making users feel more confident about things working as expected.

So I’m holding off on that being a solution as having that official support from either plugin would certainly be the best option. * Plugin Support [alexandrubodea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandrubodea/) * (@alexandrubodea) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-hcaptcha-support/#post-16744456) * That might be the best option (waiting for an official support/integration from either of the plugins).
