Not work J5.3.3 Default contact form



Posted on 26 September 2025
Functionality
It would be enough, but it doesn't load and doesn't show any errors.
Ease of use
It would be easy to use if it worked or if it reported an error. It has everything you need, but there's no way to make it work
Support
Documentation
I used this to: I would like it to work for the default connection space bar (Joomla 5.3.3)

Documentation
I used this to: We tried to use this for joomla 5.3.2 (website forms) but didnt work at all.

Worked perfectly in Joomla 5



Posted on 26 July 2024
Functionality
I honeslty couldn't believe it when I found out J5 doesn't have Captcha built in. This simple plugin did exactly what I needed and for free
Ease of use
Very easy: install, enter the keys (this is the fiddly bit!) and then set in Joomla's Global Configuration.
I used this to: Having a reCaptcha v3 on Joomla sites. This must be longer than 64 characters, so I'll repeat: having a reCaptcha v3 on Joomla site

Not work in J5



Posted on 16 April 2024
Functionality
Not work in J5, it shows the recaptcha logo on the page but no way to verify
Ease of use
Not work in J5, it is not able to use in my website, it just display a logo on the page bottom
I used this to: currently upgrading an existing J4 website to J5, want to find a captcha module which is available for J5

Not working in J5



Posted on 05 February 2024
Functionality
Doesn't work in J5. After installing,enabling and configuring the Contact component to use it, not visible in contact form.
Ease of use
Nothing to say because I'm not able to force the plug-in to work.
I used this to: own website which bases on freshly installed J5, where the native contact form must be secured due to spam coming through it.

Simple and easy to use plugin



Posted on 12 November 2023
Functionality
The plugin allows you to connect reCAPTCHA v3. There are also several options in the plugin settings.
Ease of use
I am an experienced user and therefore it only took me 3-5 minutes to set up the plugin. Even taking into account receiving keys from Google
Support
I did not contact the developer's technical support. There was no need for this.
Documentation
I wasn't looking for documentation. There was no need for this.The plugin is very easy to use.
I used this to: Protecting the contact form and registration form from spam on the Joomla 5 website.
