## Beschrijving

Friendly Captcha is een privacy-vriendelijke anti-bot oplossing die je WordPress
site formulieren beschermt tegen spam en misbruik.

Gebruik je een captcha zoals reCAPTCHA tegen bots? Friendly Captcha is een krachtige
anti-spam dienst die spam-bots blokkeert zonder de vervelende captcha afbeeldingen
én beschermd de gebruiker privacy.

### Hoe Friendly Captcha werkt

Friendly Captcha is een tool om spam te voorkomen op jouw site. Andere CAPTCHA’s
zijn een kwelling voor je eindgebruikers, Friendly Captcha respecteert je eindgebruikers.

Friendly Captcha is een beproeft anti-bot oplossing waarbij het eindgebruiker’s 
toestel al het werk doet. We genereren een unieke crypto puzzel voor elke bezoeker.

Het oplossen gebeurt in enkele seconden. Zodra de eindgebruiker het formulier invult,
begint op de achtergrond de oplossing. Op het moment dat de eindgebruiker klaar 
is voor verzending, is de puzzel waarschijnlijk al opgelost.

Friendly Captcha voorkomt spam en straft echte gebruikers daarbij niet.

### Privacyverklaringen

#### Geen persoonlijke informatie

Onze anti-bot dienst slaat geen persoonlijke gegevens op van je eindgebruikers. 
Lees ons privacybeleid voor eindgebruikers voor meer informatie.

#### Geen cookies

Onze oplossing gebruikt geen cookies bij eindgebruikers. Dit beschermt je eindgebruikers
voor tracking en volgen van site naar site.

#### Geen discriminatie

Normale CAPTCHA taken zijn niet gemakkelijk voor álle mensen. Onze oplossing werkt
zonder het labelen van taken en is dus toegankelijk voor iedereen.

#### Gedecentraliseerde gegevensverwerking

Standaard worden aanvragen verwerkt in het point-of-presence dat het dichtst bij
de plaats ligt waar de eindgebruiker toegang toe heeft. Zie ons privacybeleid voor
eindgebruikers voor meer informatie.

Vergezel duizenden organisaties in het omschakelen naar een privacy-vriendelijke
anti-bot oplossing.

Het kan echter zijn dat je de auteurs van plugins die je Friendly Captcha wil laten
ondersteunen, een e-mail wil sturen: het duurt gewoonlijk slechts een uur of twee
om native ondersteuning toe te voegen als ze ervoor kiezen om dit te doen. Dit vereenvoudigt
het gebruik van Friendly Captcha en is op de lange termijn de beste oplossing.

## Installatie

 1. Upload `friendly-captcha` map naar de `/wp-content/plugins/` folder
 2. Activeer de plugin via het ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Voer je site sleutel en API sleutel in in het Friendly Captcha menu in WordPress
 4. Schakel gewenste integraties in

## FAQ

### How to use the Friendly Captcha plugin?

The Friendly Captcha plugin supports WordPress core and many plugins with forms 
automatically.

To use Friendly Captcha, you can create an account at [www.friendlycaptcha.com](https://friendlycaptcha.com/)
and create a Site Key and API Key there. It is best to copy both keys and save them
in a safe place. Then go to the Friendly Captcha plugin settings page and enter 
the created site key and API key. Below that, select the forms you want to protect.
Finally, save these settings by clicking on the “Save Changes” button at the end
of the settings page.

### You don’t support a certain plugin. How can I get support for it added?

Open a PR on GitHub [here](https://github.com/FriendlyCaptcha/friendly-captcha-wordpress)
or just email the authors of the plugin itself. Adding Friendly Captcha support 
is typically quite a quick task for most plugins.

### How do I add Friendly Captcha to a custom or unsupported form?

Enable the **Generic Integration (for custom and unsupported plugins)** option in
the Friendly Captcha settings page. This exposes two WordPress filters that you 
can use from your own theme or plugin code to render the widget and verify the solution.

**1. Render the widget inside your form**

Apply the `frc_captcha_append_widget` filter to append the widget HTML wherever 
you want it to appear (typically just before the submit button):

    ```
    <?php echo apply_filters('frc_captcha_append_widget', ''); ?>
    ```

**2. Verify the solution on submit**

When the form is submitted, read the captcha solution from `$_POST` and pass it 
through the `frc_captcha_validation` filter. The second argument controls the network-
failure behavior: `true` lets the user through (lax), `false` blocks them (strict).

    ```
    <?php
    $solution = isset($_POST['frc-captcha-solution']) ? $_POST['frc-captcha-solution'] : '';
    $is_human = apply_filters('frc_captcha_validation', $solution, true);
    if (!$is_human) {
        // Reject submission, e.g. show an error.
    }
    ?>
    ```

If you have Friendly Captcha v2 enabled, use `frc-captcha-response` as the field
name instead of `frc-captcha-solution`.

Installation took a little while, but it was worth it: The captcha protection system
works great and is fully privacy compliant. Thanks to the team! We are very satisfied!

On first sight this CAPTCHA solution is what many people are looking for: Easy to
implement and fully GDPR-compliant. With the "Personal" plan there is a free plan
available however I got an email from the friendly captcha team to upgrade my account.
The smallest pricing option is 9 € a month. Sorry guys… for providing a simple piece
of software 1.080 € over 10 years is ridiculous and I am out.

 [drfranzkauer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/drfranzkauer/) 4 november 2022

I am thrilled! I've been looking for a European alternative to ReCaptcha for a long
time and Friendly Captcha is simple, accessible and GDPR compliant. After installing
the plugin I created an account at Friendly Captcha, created a sitekey and API key
there and inserted it into the plugin. Then I selected my used form plugin via checkbox
and it worked on the first try. Thanks!
