Hello, I am trying to add captcha to my forms. The captcha field is not showing in the admin. I am in expert mode in my current forms, but I created a new form and it is still not available via the WYSISYG.

My API keys are in settings.

Thank you!

Hi, there is currently a known issue where the captcha field is not available in Expert mode.

Until our developers can fix the problem, please add an HTML Content field in the Form and paste the following shortcode:

[cred_field field='recaptcha' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

Then save the Form, and you should regain access to the recaptcha field in "Extra fields". Let me know if you are unable to access the recaptcha after following those steps.

I can keep you posted here as work progresses on the bug.

Thank you that worked. Please note that the Captcha option was NOT available in the WYSISYG builder as you guys work out the issue. Thanks!

The latest versions of Toolset plugins include the fix for this issue, and the workaround should no longer be required.
