Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about reCAPTCHA V3 for Jetpack

Yes, Jetpack is required for contact form and comment protection.

No. Starting in 1.24, scripts are not loaded on cart, checkout, or order-pay. That avoids conflicts with Stripe and similar gateways. WooCommerce My Account registration is still protected when that setting is enabled.

Older versions marked the entry as spam but let Jetpack keep processing. The current Jetpack Forms mailer still sends those messages with a “Mark as spam” button. Starting in version 1.25, the plugin aborts failed submissions with a WP_Error before that mailer runs. Failed attempts still appear in Settings → Last 20 Submissions.

reCAPTCHA v3 runs invisibly, analyzing user behavior to assign a score (0.0–1.0). Form submissions, comments, or registrations scoring below the threshold (default 0.5) are reliably blocked: contact forms and registrations are aborted with a customizable error notice, while comments are routed to the WordPress spam folder.

Starting in version 1.25, contact form submissions failing reCAPTCHA verification are aborted before Jetpack saves or emails them, and are logged in the "Last 20 Submissions" table under Settings > reCAPTCHA V3 for Jetpack. Failed comments continue to be moved to the WordPress Comments > Spam folder.

Submit a form, comment, or register—then view total submissions, the last 20 submissions (with scores, IP address, and spam/success status), and debug logs in Settings > reCAPTCHA for Jetpack. Detailed analytics are available in the Google reCAPTCHA Admin Console.

This error appears if the Site Key or Secret Key entered in the settings is not 40 characters long or contains invalid characters (only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed). Common causes include: - Copying only part of a key or adding extra spaces. - Using keys from reCAPTCHA v2 or another service. To fix it: 1. Visit Google reCAPTCHA admin. 2. Select your reCAPTCHA v3 site or create a new one, ensuring "reCAPTCHA v3" is chosen. 3. Copy the full 40-character Site Key and Secret Key exactly as provided. 4. Paste them into the fields below and save. 5. Test a form or comment to confirm the keys work. For help, see Google’s setup guide: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3.

A low reCAPTCHA score (below the threshold, default 0.5) can occur if users auto-fill forms or comments using browser autofill or password managers, as this mimics bot behavior. To improve verification success: - Fill out forms and comments manually, avoiding autofill tools. - Check the score and status in the "Last 20 Submissions" table in Settings > reCAPTCHA for Jetpack. - Adjust the score threshold lower (e.g., 0.3) if legitimate submissions are frequently blocked.
