This plugin provides a custom field type for the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin, allowing developers to integrate Google reCAPTCHA into frontend forms. It is designed for site builders and developers who create custom forms with ACF and need a reliable method to prevent spam from automated bots.

• reCAPTCHA Field Type: Adds a dedicated reCAPTCHA field type within the ACF interface, making it simple to place a CAPTCHA challenge on any form.
• Server-Side Validation: Performs validation on the server using Google's API, ensuring the response is legitimate before a form submission is accepted.
• Protection Against Bypass: Includes a specific protection setting that prevents bots from omitting the reCAPTCHA field data entirely, closing a potential security loophole in form validation.
• Configuration Options: Allows customization of the reCAPTCHA widget's theme (light or dark), type (image or audio), and size (normal or compact) directly from the field settings.
• Programmatic Control: Supports adding and configuring fields via the ACF PHP API, and allows setting site-wide default API keys through WordPress options for consistent management.
