    Trying to figure out which spam prevention to add. You seem to have several conflicting instructions.

    1. Within the app, you can add a ProCaptcha field to the form, if you sign up for an account. Which I did. However it doesn’t work. There is no “integration” listed on the Procaptcha site for MC4WP. I am confused if I need to add more scripts to the site to make this work as mentioned in the server side scripting and client side? Confused….Can you provide complete instructions?
    2. Your knowledge base mentions Hcaptcha, but again no instructions. Is this still a viable option?
    3. Double Optin – since we are using the mailchimp form for leads, the double optin really doesn’t make sense to the user.
    4. What is the best captcha option? preferably free.

    Hey @ladydawn,

    If you are using ProCaptcha, then all the settings have to be adjusted from the ProCaptcha account on their website https://portal.prosopo.io/.

    Also, please ensure you have added the “Site Key” & “Secret” to the integration setting of ProCaptcha in our plugin. These details can be found in your account on the ProCaptcha website.

    Once done, you can add the following code to the form:

    <input type="hidden" name="procaptcha">

    When editing the form, you should find a button to add this code automatically under the “Form Fields” section.

    Thanks for the reply. I did what you say above, but when I clicked to “test” it, it says it failed the test.

    I don’t need to add code anywhere else, then? The Procaptcha instructions say you have to add script code to the page.

    Hey @ladydawn,

    As long as you have added the code I shared to the form, you do not need to add anything else. Can you please share a link where I can test the form on your website?
