GDPR Cookieless CAPTCHA for WooCommerce & Forms – captchaapi.eu

Changelog

2.0.2

  • Stopped marking product names and the captchaapi.eu brand as translatable strings, so the translation list only contains real interface text.

2.0.1

  • Clearer directory listing: grouped the protected forms by WordPress core, WooCommerce, and form plugins, added Gravity Forms and Elementor Forms to the list, refreshed the tags, and added a “Privacy by design” summary. No code changes.

2.0.0

  • Verification is now a server-to-server call. The plugin confirms each token with the captchaapi.eu /verify endpoint using your secret key, instead of checking a signed token locally. The form field is now captchaapi_response.
  • The service enforces single use, so the local replay table and its hourly purge cron are gone – both are removed automatically when you upgrade.
  • Failsafe mode now keys off the verify request: when captchaapi.eu cannot be reached on submit, failsafe lets the form through; a definite rejection always blocks.

1.1.2

  • Refreshed the plugin icon and directory banner with the new captchaapi.eu branding.

1.1.1

  • Clearer directory listing: updated title, tags, and description to highlight the cookieless, EU-hosted protection and the supported form plugins.
  • Documented failsafe mode in the FAQ: forms can stay usable during a captchaapi.eu outage, then strict protection resumes automatically.

1.1.0

  • Added integrations for WooCommerce (login, registration, lost password, and checkout), WPForms, Fluent Forms, Formidable Forms, and Forminator.
  • Added a “Test API response” button that checks the service is reachable and the keys are in the right fields.
  • Added failsafe mode: an optional fallback that keeps forms usable while captchaapi.eu is unreachable, then resumes strict protection automatically.
  • Settings screen: grouped into sections (account keys, protected forms, behavior, advanced), a “Get your free keys” call to action when no keys are set, key format hints in the fields, and a clearer warning that the secret key must stay on the server.
  • Added translations: Czech, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Romanian.

1.0.1

  • Compatibility and Plugin Check fixes for the WordPress.org directory: updated “Tested up to”, aligned the plugin name with the readme, versioned the enqueued widget script, prefixed an uninstall global, and dropped the redundant load_plugin_textdomain() call.
  • Documented the captchaapi.eu external service in the readme, including the data sent and links to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1.0.0

  • First release. Protects login, registration, lost password, comments, and Contact Form 7.
