Listing Protection: Prevents “bad bots” from submitting fake listings by adding a challenge to the “Add Listing” form.
Registration Security: Stops automated account creation by securing the user registration form.
Theming: Includes two built-in visual themes (Light and Dark) to match your site’s aesthetic.
Role-Based Logic: You can choose to show or hide the reCAPTCHA challenge based on specific User Roles (e.g., hiding it for verified Listing Owners).
Custom Labels: Provides the ability to customize the label text appearing alongside the reCAPTCHA challenge.
Performance: Extremely lightweight and designed specifically for the Directorist framework to ensure it doesn’t slow down page load times.
To set this up, you must obtain a Site Key and Secret Key from the Google reCAPTCHA Admin Console.
