Title: [Plugin: Conditional CAPTCHA for WordPress] Captcha won't show under comments Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Conditional CAPTCHA for WordPress] Captcha won't show under comments * Resolved [jaxace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaxace/) * (@jaxace) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/) * I’ve installed the plugin and log out as Admin. After checking to see if the captcha would appear under a post, there’s was nothing. Shouldn’t there be some kinda script to put in your comment.php? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-conditional-captcha/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-conditional-captcha/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Samir Shah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solarissmoke/) * (@solarissmoke) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861614) * That is not how the plugin works. * A CAPTCHA is only shown after someone posts a comment AND Akismet flags it as spam. All other commenters will never see one. * [Editk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editk/) * (@editk) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861681) * I have the same concern. I logged out from my website and sent a test “contact” on my contact form and it didn’t get filtered. It appeared in my mailbox ??? Please help me! I’m getting 100s of spam contact emails every day. Thank you sooooo much in advance. ps. in case you want to check it out [http://www.editdesign.ca](http://www.editdesign.ca) * Plugin Author [Samir Shah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solarissmoke/) * (@solarissmoke) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861682) * Editk, this plugin only intercepts **comments**. The **contact** form and emails on your site are being generated by your theme, and there is no way for other plugins to intercept them. * Plugin Author [Samir Shah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solarissmoke/) * (@solarissmoke) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861683) * One way to reduce your contact spam would be to have a contact form only on your contact page, instead of at the bottom of every single page on your site as you do currently. * [Editk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editk/) * (@editk) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861684) * Thank you Samir. I deleted the contact form from the bottom of the page. Will see what happen? Also im looking into how to cgange the contact form to a new with a captcha. Will posted the result. Thx again * Plugin Author [Samir Shah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solarissmoke/) * (@solarissmoke) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861685) * Hi Editk, * There are lots of contact form plugins which support CAPTCHAs. [Contact Form 7](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/) is one of the most popular. * [Editk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editk/) * (@editk) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861686) * Thank you very much Samir for the tip. What a breeze… I had a morning w/o 100s of spam. I’ll work on my contact form. This is my weekend project. * [Editk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editk/) * (@editk) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conditional-captcha-for-wordpress-captcha-wont-show-under-comments/#post-2861687) * Ty Samir for your help.
