User able to submit spam forms even with CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA

[jorgemuralles]

Good morning everyone.

I am having a huge problem

I use DJ - Extensions to develop my real estate Web Site.

User are allowed to register and I use CAPTCHA - re CAPTCHA to protect the Website

I do not know what is happening but I am getting tons of forms submitted that are not real users.

Does not anyone know how to fix this problem?

If anyone helping wants to take a look, here is the link to the Web Site

Thank you very much

Google reCaptcha reduces spam submissions but it seems to work less than in the past.
You could try other CAPTCHA solutions from https://extensions.joomla.org/tags/captcha/ or use a honeypot field.

Hi Peter,

I installed hCaptcha also. But something bizarre happens. Please take a look at the attached screenshot:
above the hCaptcha, a textbox with "dynamic_recaptcha_1" lingers. Could you educate me how I can remove it?

Thanks for your help.

FYI: I am using Joomla 5.03+Virtuemart 4.2 and PHP is 8.2.
