Brute Force Protection Not Working on Comment Forms

If reCaptcha is not appearing on comment forms despite enabling Brute Force Protection, follow these steps:

Clear all cache

If you have a cache plugin or use server caching, clear all the cache, as the change of paths has significantly changed the website’s structure.

Verify Plugin Compatibility

Ensure WP Ghost is compatible with the theme or plugin generating your comment forms. Some custom comment plugins may bypass WP Ghost’s settings. In this case, you can use the Brute Force shortcode [ hmwp_bruteforce ] on the specific comment form to activate WP Ghost reCaptcha.

Enable the Brute Force Option

Go to WP Ghost > Brute Force > Settings. Ensure both Use Brute Force Protection and Comment Form Protection are enabled. Confirm that reCaptcha keys are correctly configured in the Brute Force settings.
