hCaptcha

This field is used to add an hCaptcha to your form. An hCaptcha detects whether the user of a site is human. Filling out an hCaptcha is similar to filling out a reCAPTCHA.

Demo

WS Form Pro supports all current versions of hCaptcha, including:

  • Default
  • Invisible

Register Your Website with hCaptcha

In order to use hCaptcha, you first need to create an hCaptcha account.

Once you have registered, you will be provided with two keys:

  • Site key
  • Secret key

Submissions Using Enterprise Accounts

When a submission is successfully made on your website and you have an Enterprise hCaptcha on the page, hCaptcha provides a spam score. The spam score is stored against your submissions and is represented as a colored circle on the submissions page. If you hover your mouse cursor over the colored circle, you can see the percentage score WS Form has given a submission in terms of spam scoring. The scoring ranges from 0% (not spam, shown in green) to 100% (blatant spam,  shown in red).

Show Invalid Feedback

Invalid feedback text is shown when a form is saved or submitted, and the field has not been completed according to the field settings you have configured.

If this setting is checked, invalid feedback is shown under the field.

Invalid Feedback Text

WS Form automatically builds invalid feedback text for all of your fields. If no text is entered into this field, the value shown in the field in light gray text will be shown. If you would like to specify alternative invalid feedback text, you can enter it within this setting.

WS Form variables can be entered into this field.

Breakpoints

The breakpoint settings define the width of a field and also what the offset (how many columns from the left-hand side of the form or the previous field) of a field is for each breakpoint. For more information about the breakpoint settings and capabilities of WS Form, click here.
