I have this installed. I checked the code from the registration page and it is indeed present.

My question is how do I set the "Human Verification Settings" under Options in the control panel. I I select "ReCaptcha", it shows my KEYS but when I try to register, it says "Image not Selected Properly" or so something like that. Do I just turn off all verification under Options?

The product currently does not integrate with vBulletin native Human Verification system, as the system doesn't support Captcha check for login.

For now, the product is intended to prevent bot logins, which could partly solve the issues you're having, since it's no use for bots to just registered but unable to post. I will add integration support to vBulletin Human Verification system on another future version.

I understand. So should I turn off all the native Human Verification settings or does this not interfere with it?

You don't have to turn it off, this product will work safely together with vBulletin native verification system :)

Thanks. I have it installed but honestly don't know if it's doing anything or not. If it is supposed to stop spam registrations, it doesn't seem to help much. Will give it a few days.

One more question. Hopefully the last for now. How do I get rid of the Captcha banner? I deleted it hide it but it still shows up. It adds text to the footer but doesn't get rid of the blue graphics at the bottom right of the forum.

By default if you choose 'Yes' in the 'Hide reCaptcha badge', the badge will hide, but then the footer text will show due to Google policy on reCaptcha v3. Then you can manually remove the footer text by edit the 'btp_rcaptcha_notice' template.

The footer text is to ensure the site complies with Google policy as I've heard of them devalidating a site because of missing both the badge + footer text. You might hide both at your own risk.

I understand how it's supposed to work. What I'm saying though is that the captcha badge doesn't go away regardless of being checked to hide it or not. Hiding it DOES add the text to the footer, which I have no problem with. But the badge remains. That is what I want to get rid of.

This plugin does not prevent spam registration but only posting spambots.

Just installed by downloading from here. Got locked out :(
