Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Hercules Recaptcha version 1.1 as active, updated 11y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.0.

Overview

About this plugin

Hercules Recaptcha uses the latest Google Recaptcha API to more accurately determine if users are bots or not.

If the user is not logged in it will display a Recaptcha for the user to fill out in the comment form. If the user

disables javascript and is not logged in then comments will fail to submit.

The Recaptcha is also added to the registration page for both multisite setups and single blogs. There are options for

having it show up on comments and/or the registration page, as well as options for its position on the comment form, and

which style (Google gives only two options, dark or light).
