Hello Jay! What issues are you encountering with adding the Captcha?

[jaylethbridge]

Hello @Queso

Thanks for responding, much appreciated.

OK, I have "OKed" Google Captcha within the form settings and signed in to my Google Captcha Account.
What I am lost with is "where" do I add the Site key to verify the account? (I am guessing that is what the Site key is for)

There is:-

Keys
Step 1: Client Side Integration
Step 2: Sever Side Integrattion

Do I "Need" to do ALL of this for it to be able to work?

Thanks and regards, Jay

You shouldn't need to do that to use Google Captcha, @jaylethbridge - click on the Form Options button for the form in the editor, enable it there, then re-publish your site.

Hi @Adam

It is already enabled and has been for some time. Just nothing shows on the Contact Form in relation to Captcha

Regards, Jay

[Adam7]

Are you logged into your Weebly account while you're testing? It only showed for me during testing when I opened my site in an incognito window.

[jaylethbridge]

@Adam
Yes, I am indeed still logged in, but surely anything that is "published to the web" should be seen regardless

Regards, Jay

[jaylethbridge]

@Adam,

OK, just gone incognito and still the same for me
Don't fancy being an "Editor" for me to have a look and see?

Regards, Jay

[Adam7]

Hmm... Can you link to the page with your contact form on it? I'll try it and see what it does for me.

@Adam
Having opened a ticket at Weebly to try and get a solution, here is what they have said:-

Hi there,
The only time to captcha will appear is if the viewer appears to be fraudulent or "spammy" -- since you view your site all the time and build it, the system knows you are not a threat so it will not appear. For anyone it is unsure about, it will appear. Hope that helps.

Thank you!

That gels with what I saw; I was testing it in quick succession and probably did it fast enough to make it show. At any rate, I'm glad we have this as a feature!

[jaylethbridge]

@Adam
Just hate it when I cannot actually "see the functions" myself and for me, I have NOT even seen it myself, so with their reply and your confirmation, I will just go with that.

Although yes, a great addition, not sure why they could not have it on view, as with others places that I see. But, hey ho !!

Thanks again and regards, Jay
