What it does
Contact forms, signup forms and quote requests attract automated spam, and cleaning junk entries out of your inbox takes time. A captcha adds a small check that a person can answer quickly but a bot usually cannot. Many standard captchas are hard to read or feel out of place on a site. This addon gives you a simpler option: a math question or a custom question and answer that you control, placed right inside the forms you already run with WPForms.
The captcha works as a regular field in the WPForms drag and drop builder. You find it in the field list (you can search for it by name or related keywords), drag it into your form and choose the challenge type. No coding is needed. Because it lives inside WPForms, it sits alongside the other parts of your form, including conditional logic, payment fields and marketing integrations from other WPForms addons, and it displays responsively on phones and tablets.
Best for
- WordPress sites using WPForms for contact or signup forms
- Small businesses and nonprofits tired of spam form entries
- Freelancers building client forms that need simple spam protection

Questions about WPForms Custom Captcha
What kinds of captcha challenges can I create?
The addon focuses on simple challenges that people can answer quickly. You can use a math problem, such as adding two numbers, or write your own question with an answer you define. You can also adjust the difficulty and let visitors refresh the challenge if they want a different one.
Do I need WPForms to use this captcha?
Yes. This is an addon for WPForms, the drag and drop form builder for WordPress. The captcha appears as a field inside the WPForms Form Builder, and you add it to your existing forms the same way you add any other field.
Will the captcha work with my other WPForms features?
The captcha field is designed to sit alongside other WPForms functionality, including conditional logic, payment processors and marketing integrations from other WPForms addons. You can add it to forms that already use those features without rebuilding them.
Can visitors on phones answer the captcha easily?
Yes. The captchas are responsive, so they display properly on mobile devices. Since the challenges are short math problems or simple questions, visitors can type the answer on a phone keyboard without struggling to read distorted text.
