Add Easy To Read Image Captcha To Your Forms

In this post, i’ll show you an easy way to add a captcha which displays a group of 6 images as your anti spam captcha.

Adding an image based captcha to your forms makes it faster & easier to complete than trying to read numbers. On top of this, images are much harder for spam bots to read.

Here’s what it looks like:

All you need to do is click the 3 images which answer the question and you can then click the submit button.

Its a faster way to pass the test as its easier to understand and doesn’t require entering of any hard to read numbers.

Installation

Once you’ve installed the addon plugin, you’ll need to signup for a free Picatcha account to get your keys.

Then you can simply click the Pix Captcha button included in the Advanced Fields of your Gravity form Editor which adds it to any existing or new form you create.

Or you can still use something like this if you prefer:

    Hi Brad
    Always had problems with captchas and caching plugins.

    These days I use a test question “what is the capital of France” on my contact form and a GASP checkbox from the Simple Firewall plugin for my comments.

    Both work well

      Hi Keith

      Everyone’s raving about GASP. It must be a great solution.

      Will you be updating to Minimum Pro?

        Hi Brad
        Hanging back until the Parallax issue with the background image is sorted. Looks awful at smaller screen sizes at the moment!

        I’m also working on a new site using Sixteen Nine – Studiopress gave me permission to use the Domain name Genesis themes dot co dot UK so I’m going with that.

        The GASP type checkbox is part of the Simple Firewall plugin not Andy Bailey’s original GASP plugin.
        The bots have recently defeated Andy’s GASP system, that’s why I moved over.

          Yeah, seen a few posts about that, i really need to start working on mobile responsiveness as there’s so many questions about it.

          I know this is a bit radical but removing the website url field, comment form allowed tags and any text that says email works really well for me.

          Good luck with the new domain.
