bbCaptcha – A Working reCAPTCHA plugin for bbPress Forum
Categories: bbPress
Recently I started to get a lot of spam bot signup on my Tips and Tricks HQ forum. This forum is powered by bbPress so I started to look for a bbPress plugin that would enable reCAPTCHA on the forum registration page to stop these bot signups. Sadly the one plugin that I did find wouldn’t work on my site. So I wrote my own bbPress reCaptcha plugin.
Plugin Description
The bbCaptcha plugin adds reCAPTCHA to the registration page of your bbPress forum.
reCAPTCHA to bbPress registration
Installation & Usage
- Unzip and Upload the folder ‘bb-captcha’ to the ‘my-plugins’ directory.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in bbPress.
- Go to Settings menu of bbCaptcha plugin and add the reCAPTCHA keys. You can get reCAPTCHA keys here if you don’t have it already for your site.

Good plug-in. But I think it is always better to do some kind of captcha of your own, because the most famous and public things are always the first to be cracked. But when the bot sees something that is different and unknown he panics
