What it does
Any site that lets visitors create accounts tends to attract automated signups. Bots fill registration forms with fake details and hammer login pages, leaving site owners to clean up junk accounts by hand. This extension places a Google reCAPTCHA check on your Ultimate Member forms, so a visitor has to pass that check before the form will submit. The result is fewer fake registrations and fewer automated login attempts reaching your site.
The extension works with the forms you already have in Ultimate Member, and it does not change their design. Once it is turned on, reCAPTCHA appears automatically on the forms you target. You can switch it on or off for each registration or login form individually, which is handy if you want protection on a public signup page but not on an internal one. Developers also get an action hook tied to the reCAPTCHA API response for custom handling.
Best for
- Membership sites built with Ultimate Member
- Community sites troubled by spam registrations
- Developers maintaining Ultimate Member sites for clients
