Description

The Re-Captcha add-on integrates Google reCAPTCHA verification into GeoDirectory forms, adding an anti-spam challenge to listing submission screens, comments, and the complaints area. The integration protects the directory against automated sign-ups, reduces bot submissions, and keeps the published data clean from visitors, without requiring the administrator to write any lines of code.

Key Features

  • Google reCAPTCHA verification
    Connects the directory to the official reCAPTCHA API using the site key and secret key.
  • Protection on listing submissions
    Adds the challenge to the public item registration form in the directory.
  • Blocking in comments and ratings
    Filters automated submissions in the comment boxes and listing reviews.
  • Defense in the report form
    Applies verification on the complaints or contact screen linked to listings.
  • Configuration in the GeoDirectory panel
    Allows you to enable, disable, and insert the keys directly in the base plugin options.

Re-Captcha Benefits

  • Spam-free directory
    Drastically reduces automated sign-ups that pollute listings and comments.
  • Less manual moderation
    Decreases the volume of fake submissions the administrator would need to review and delete.
  • More credibility for the site
    Keeps trustworthy public content, with real information submitted by legitimate users.
  • Fast, straightforward installation
    Activates protection in just a few minutes after registering the keys in Google.

Who Is It For?

  • Portal and local directory administrators built with GeoDirectory.
  • Classifieds and community listing sites that receive visitor submissions.
  • Projects with public forms exposed to bot and spam attacks.

By plugging reCAPTCHA verification into GeoDirectory entry points, this add-on acts as a simple and effective layer against malicious automations. It’s the natural choice for anyone keeping directories open to public contributions and needing to preserve data quality without increasing day-to-day moderation workload.
