  • Just what I needed

    Very easy to use & works as expected in v6.4.1. THANKS

  • Does it work? Debatable

    It really depends on what you want to achieve. You want to hide the badge? Yeah fine, this plugin works. Problem is, the ReCaptcha script is still working in the background, slowing down your website, collecting users' info (thus infringing GDPR), etc. So as in "Disable" ReCaptcha, no. It doesn't work.

  • Does what it says on the tin!

  • Works as advertised

    I decide what will be on my site not Google. The ugly Recaptcha - CF7 not only slows down your site but it looks very ugly too. Thanks to this plugin I can limit this to pages with contact form.
