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.

Overview

About this plugin

Use the shortcode `[recaptcha-protected-download]` to wrap any direct download link that you’d like reCaptcha to process.

zip[/recaptcha-protected-download]`

Example

Here’s my `hello world` post HTML:

Hello! zip[/recaptcha-protected-download]">here</a>.

zip[/recaptcha-protected-download]">this URL</a>

Which is parsed as follows:

Hello! This page is dynamically generated with my plugin called Content Generator which you can download from <a href="#rcpdl=371bce9996c0afc711648c2c4f3d5c97">here</a>.

You can also download WordPress following <a href="#rcpdl=7039e773658ed3c70d50e791ed4940fd">this URL</a>

About

This plugin opts to generate fake links (anchors) controlled with JavaScript to open up a modal once clicked to opt users to complete the anti-spam test with Google reCaptcha.

Once a user successfully submits a test, an AJAX callback will then verify the response and parse the download.

`md5` is used to hash the download links and fetch them later once a user submits a test.

You must provide your Google reCaptcha credentials which you can obtain from this page
