In this tutorial you will turn on a CAPTCHA, so bots cannot fill in your forms in WB Listora. You need the free WB Listora plugin, installed and active, and an account with Google or Cloudflare. It takes about three minutes. There are four steps. Find the CAPTCHA setting. Choose a provider. Add your keys. Then see which forms it guards. Step one. Find the CAPTCHA setting. In your WordPress admin, go to Listora, then Settings, then Submissions. CAPTCHA provider sits under Submission rules. It matters most when new listings go live at once with Auto-approve. Step two. Choose a provider. There are three choices. None, Google reCAPTCHA v3, and Cloudflare Turnstile. Google reCAPTCHA v3 works unseen in the background. Cloudflare Turnstile may show a small check box. Step three. Add your keys. Once you pick a provider, two boxes appear. CAPTCHA site key, and CAPTCHA secret key. Copy both from your provider's dashboard, and keep the secret key private. Then click Save Changes. Step four. See which forms it guards. Now as a member. With a CAPTCHA on, the check runs on the review form, before a review is sent. This site has none on, so the form looks plain. It runs on the last step of the Add Listing form too. A bot that fails the check cannot send the form. That is all four. Find the CAPTCHA setting, choose a provider, add your keys, and see which forms it guards. Your listing and review forms are now closed to bots. Next in this series: Add moderators who are not admins.
