## FAQ

### Does the Ultimate Member plugin need to be activated to use this plugin?

Yes. The Ultimate Member reCAPTCHA plugin adds the Google reCAPTCHA to Ultimate 
Member Forms (Login, Registration, Password reset), so the main Ultimate Member 
plugin needs to be installed and active.

### Does this plugin add Google reCAPTCHA to the wp-login.php form?

Yes, the plugin can add the Google reCAPTCHA to the WordPress native login form 
to improve the security of the wp-login.php form. This can help with spam registration
via the native WordPress registration form if you have enabled from your wp-install
settings to allow anyone to register via the native WP registration method. We support
wp-login.php form’s login and lostpassword actions and WordPress native wp_login_form()
widget.

### What versions of Google reCAPTCHA does the plugin support?

Both v2 and v3. The plugin supports both the checkbox for the 2nd version and the
invisible reCAPTCHA of the 2nd version. The plugin doesn’t support Enterprise reCAPTCHA
at this time.

### Does this plugin help stop spam registration?

Yes, by adding the Google reCAPTCHA to your Ultimate Member registration form, it
can help stop/reduce spam registrations. However, this plugin will only protect 
forms added by the Ultimate Member plugin and the native wp-login.php login/registration
form. It does not add the reCAPTCHA to other forms added by other plugins.

### 󠀁[Works for me with reCaptcha v3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-for-me-451/)󠁿

 [Natacha](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chickwithbob/) October 6, 2022

Definitely works for me using reCaptcha v3 and WordPress 6.02 and Ultimate Member
2.5 I have it running alongside Formidable Forms’ reCaptcha integration with no 
issues as I am using more complex functionality for user registrations. One issue
I did have was the reCaptcha image in the bottom right corner seemed to be hidden
from view. I had to add the style z-index:9999 to make it show. I’m using Elementor
hence it may have been caused by a conficting style. A simple CSS addition made 
it show on top again.
