User able to submit spam forms even with CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA

Post by jorgemuralles » Thu Apr 25, 2024 4:59 pm

Good morning everyone.

I am having a huge problem

I use DJ - Extensions to develop my real estate Web Site.

User are allowed to register and I use CAPTCHA - re CAPTCHA to protect the Website

I do not know what is happening but I am getting tons of forms submitted that are not real users.

Does not anyone know how to fix this problem?

If anyone helping wants to take a look, here is the link to the Web Site

Thank you very much

Jorge Muralles

Google reCaptcha reduces spam submissions but it seems to work less than in the past.
You could try other CAPTCHA solutions from https://extensions.joomla.org/tags/captcha/ or use a honeypot field.
