Enhance Comment Security with Conditional CAPTCHA
Conditional CAPTCHA is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to improve comment security on your website. It features two operational modes: Basic and Akismet-enhanced. The Basic mode serves a CAPTCHA to all commenters who are not logged in or lack a previously approved comment, while repeat commenters are exempted from seeing the CAPTCHA. The Akismet-enhanced mode, which is recommended, only displays a CAPTCHA for comments flagged as spam by Akismet, streamlining the commenting process for genuine users.
This plugin ensures that comments are managed efficiently, as failed CAPTCHA attempts result in automatic disposal of the comment, preventing spam clutter. Users can choose between a simple text-based CAPTCHA or a more robust reCAPTCHA, with customization options to align with their WordPress theme. The plugin also supports multiple languages, thanks to contributions from various translators, enhancing accessibility for a broader audience.
