The captcha does not appear on the computer. ReCAPTCHA - the simplest captcha I am not a robot from Google. What is reCAPTCHA
Hello, dear readers of the blog site. I would like to devote just a little time to the relatively new captcha from Google (it was announced about a year ago), which replaced the old and confusing one. Previously, probably few sane bloggers could put Google’s brainchild on their website or blog - it was very tedious to solve the letter puzzles offered there. All the convenience of commenting was lost.
Actually, at that distant time I was still using . To pass it you just had to put check the "I'm not a robot" box and everything (of all possible). If the checkbox was not checked, then the message fell into the trash in the WordPress admin area, or if the trash was disabled (as in my case), it was simply not added to the database. The ideal option, in my opinion, because it did not create any particular inconvenience for the commentator.
Then this plugin stopped working, and I successfully used it for about six months, but this method also stopped working after updating WordPress to version 4.4. During this time, I tried a couple of plugins that filtered out spam based on analysis of the addressee and content (Antispam Bee and CleanTalk). The first one confused quite a lot (spam into not spam, but non-spam into spam), and the second, contrary to expectations, did not reduce, but increased the load on the server (and a paid one at that).
In general, I decided to return to the proven method - installation of the simplest existing captcha. DCaptcha no longer works, but the giant Google has seriously simplified its initially monstrous reCAPTCHA and reduced the entire check to the same checkbox “I’m not a robot.” Unfortunately, I’m too stupid to understand how to attach this thing to a site without a plugin (although I tried), so I had to use the services of the No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA plugin. But first things first.
Methods to reduce spam load and why reCAPTCHA?
As you probably know, spam can be manual or automatic. You can protect yourself from the first one only by enabling mandatory moderation of all incoming messages before publishing them on the blog - then surely no “radishes” will break through.
But manual spam, as a rule, is a tiny trickle compared to the full-flowing river of autospam. The latter can be generated, for example, by Khroomer in simply fantastic volumes. Personally, what irritates me more is not even the fact that several hundred spam comments come into my WordPress admin area per day, but the fact that they can be monstrously long and you get tired of scrolling through them to the “Delete” button. In general, this problem is real and the more relevant the more popular your blog is.
There is no point in fighting manual spam (because this fight is doomed and because of its insignificant volume), but something needs to be done about autospam. It's like there's two main approaches:
- Filter comments already added to the WordPress database for spam/non-spam and shove them into the appropriate folders. Unfortunately, plugins that work on this principle produce a lot of junk, and you won’t be able to simply empty the Spam folder without viewing its contents unless you want to lose dozens of truly valuable comments sent by active readers of your blog.
- Attach an additional check to the form for adding a comment to determine who exactly is leaving this message - a real person or a bot. The task of identifying this difference is called the Turing test and is solved in the vast majority of cases using the so-called captcha (derived from CAPTCHA, which is an abbreviation for a set of smart words). The main problem with this method of combating spam is that you stress commenters with solving the “rebus” (captcha), which may discourage them from continuing to try to leave a message.
However, captchas, as I already said, can be quite simple. Google has taken a serious step in this direction and now its new reCAPTCHA simply an example of simplicity and grace for the vast majority of users who visit your site (although a small number of them may still be asked to enter the characters from the image if the algorithm has doubts about its humanity).
This is what Google's reCAPTCHA will look like for 99.9% of your website visitors:
Well, like this, in the event of force majeure (if the algorithm still fails after a dozen tests for humanity):
The strength of this protection can be judged by the fact that captcha recognition services (or) charge twice as much money for a captcha. A very telling indicator.
Well, as if the choice has been made, it must be implemented.
Registering your site with reCAPTCHA and installing it on your blog
Registration is simply an indication of the name and domain name of your site, where you plan to use this very captcha:
After this, you will be taken to the admin panel of the reCAPTCHA service for your site (it probably makes sense to add it to your browser bookmarks). Over time, statistics on the operation of this captcha will be displayed there, but for now the most important thing we can glean from here is just those same keys, without which “I’m not a robot” will not work:
Below are installation instructions. In the “Client Side Integration” area, everything is clear, but simply installing the given code in the specified places is not enough. The captcha will be displayed, but spam will not be filtered. In the area of “Server-side integration” I don’t understand anything at all. I'm too stupid for this.
Therefore, it was decided use a plugin to integrate reCAPTCHA in WordPress, fortunately, there are quite a lot of options for such plugins (read). True, three of them did not work for me (the captcha did not appear in the area for adding comments). After several unsuccessful attempts, I had to turn to smart people for a solution, where a plugin with an intricate name (like oil, not oil) was noticed and subsequently successfully installed.
Setting up and working the No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA plugin in WordPress
Well, actually, go to the WordPress admin area, select “Plugins” - “Add new” from the left menu, enter No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA in the search bar and install. Don’t forget to activate it, and then go to its settings in the usual way (at the bottom of the left menu you will find a new item “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA”).
Actually, of all the settings, the most important here is, again, entering the keys received just above on the reCAPTCHA website:
After saving these changes, the plugin immediately defends your comments from spammers.
And not just comments. In the settings you can protect the WordPress admin login form with this captcha:
In the settings, you can replace the light color scheme of the recaptcha with a dark one, and also either allow the captcha to guess the user’s language, or force it to be installed.
Actually, that's all. I have not yet forced a cache reset in WordPress (I only updated those articles that Khrumer is traditionally not indifferent to), so reCAPTCHA is not displayed on all pages. No complaints have been noticed in the work so far.
Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Good day. I called this article “[SOLVED] Problem with recaptcha disappearing in Chrome, Firefox and IE browsers for a reason || Solving the problem with adware by counterflix from cloudguard.me”, because the article I previously wrote “” did not solve the problem with adware.
Yes! I installed a bunch of programs that 95% solved my cloudguard.me adware problem, but oh those 5%. In short, I installed AdBlock and my problem seemed to be solved.
But now, I began to notice that on many sites, and probably on all where recaptcha is installed, it has ceased to be displayed, i.e. I couldn’t register on many services and recover my password on Instagram, because... there you need to go through recaptcha, but it’s simply NOT there. This started to stress me out a little)))
Next, I got the idea to look at the page code! For those who don’t know how to do this, just right-click on the desired area and select “View code.” Select the network section (you can press F5 to refresh the page), look for the recaptcha script, it should light up for you red - this means that it is not working or is blocked. You can open it in a new browser window by right-clicking and selecting “open in web”, you should get an error
There may be a different message, but I was told about a problem with the ssl certificate. Because of this, recaptcha was not available.
reCaptcha is a protection system against Internet bots, developed by Google. Downloaded from a third party site https://www.gstatic.com/
The first traces of interaction appear "reCaptcha - Google - Banners from Google - Malicious Adware by counterflix "!
Let's move on, I turned to my NOD32 Antivirus, why the f.. I don’t have access to https://www.gstatic.com/…. I remind you that https:// sites require an SSL certificate. And then I saw that all services from Google were issued a certificate from cloudguard.me (from Adware), including https://www.gstatic.com/
Wow! Why does cloudguard.me issue certificates from Google. Everything became clear, that’s where this annoying advertising came from. It remains to solve the question “How can I replace an SSL certificate?” Thanks to the guys from Habr, I found a lot of interesting articles on changing the SSL certificate, but I found the real answer on the Pindos website https://superuser.com, where a guy who had a problem with reCaptcha wrote there, and they gave him good advice (), you need to change the DNS settings.
Your computer will have the IP address cloudguard.me when it looks for the address gstatic.com.
The malware has changed your DNS settings to resolve some names to their malicious ad injection server
I immediately went to change the DNS settings of my computer (Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - left-click on your connection - Properties - Select IP version 4 - Properties).
Entering a captcha may be necessary to properly use a program, website, or for registration. The essence of the captcha is simple: to confirm that you are not a robot. But what should you do if it doesn’t open or stubbornly tells you that you entered an incorrect result?
- Why is it difficult to recognize captcha?
- If the captcha is entered incorrectly
- How to enter captcha for money
If you absolutely need to register on a specific forum, first try to check whether the captcha works at all. To do this, you need to open the image in a separate window and see what will be shown (nothing, a picture, a code). If strange characters appear, then the reason is most likely a glitch with the code. In this case, you can only write to the site administration.
Why is it difficult to recognize captcha?
Below are some ways to protect yourself:
- use of the Russian alphabet (exclusion of English);
- using a combination of letters of the Russian alphabet and numbers;
- Additional protection has been introduced in the form of applying various filters, distortions, garbage, etc.
Such protection greatly complicates the reading and recognition of captcha not only for specialists, but also for ordinary users of Internet resources, whose training is several times lower.
If the captcha is entered incorrectly
The problem with captcha arises for various reasons: when entering a captcha, a picture opens with one or two words that are slightly different from the background of the image, in addition, the shape of the characters is distorted, the words are written with errors; It is difficult for a computer to recognize distorted fonts and meaningless text, but a person can use this for authentication.
- Login from different browsers. Sometimes it helps.
- Check Internet speed. The fact is that at very low rates the image may simply not load. Or do it with mistakes.
- Make sure that you allow images to be displayed, because a captcha is essentially a picture. It is advisable to look at this in the appropriate settings. If there was a limitation, just fix it and restart the browser.
- Log in from the main page of the site. This actually works sometimes.
- Try to find the audio version of the captcha. It is quite possible that everything is in order with the voice acting.
- Try to register or perform the necessary actions from your cell phone. It happens that the mobile version of the site works fine.
- The check does not pass: the captcha may conflict with anti-virus software, it is perceived as a potentially dangerous element. Try deactivating your antivirus and refreshing the page;
- Ask if other users on RuNet are experiencing a similar problem. This way you will know for sure whether this problem is related to your computer.
Most likely, one of these methods will work. Otherwise, you need to look for other options.
