not sure that's my problem, i think that spam bots found a way to register to joomla regard the fact i setup reCAPTCHA invisible on my site global configuration. i even got suspended for spamming alert from google because i am using SMTP to send emails from my site, so i searched a way to bring back the old google "i am human" reCAPTCHA v2 but joomla 5 is not supporting it any more (it was working well on j4)

so i found this "hcaptcha" plugin
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... /hcaptcha/
installed and setup the plugin and no i will watch if its good or not, i hope it will stop becuse there is no other plugin for reCAPTCHA to use in the joomla registration...

Hi Ben,

I am also using "hcaptcha". But something bizarre happens on my site. Please look at the attached image. Above "hcaptcha", there is a text box with "dynamic_recaptcha_1" inside. And there are "Read more" button and "Field" button under the text box. Could you tell me how I can remove them? Thanks.

FYI: I am using Joomla 5.0.3+Virtuemart 4.0.20+PHP8.2.
