Once you activate this plugin, the hCaptcha-answering user’s personal data, including their IP address, may be sent to the hCaptcha service.

In addition to it being really bloated and confusing, it wouldn’t let me click the submit button on my forms when activated! This plugin, on the other hand, works flawlessly! Only thing that worries me is that it hasn’t been updated in 4 years. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d29e067f265f5694e7146bd7cb92baa8d88f6f52df807d595e0a7ce64dd41920? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfectly!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-2505/)󠁿 [Duncan Michael-MacGregor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/duckonwater/) ଅଗଷ୍ଟ 12, 2022 1 reply After trying to use the official hCaptcha and not being able to make it work with Gravity Forms I discovered this plugin. This plugin integrates seamlessly into Gravity Forms, so well that it feels like an official Gravity Forms add-on. Very impressed with this plugin and happy it exists!
