Automated spam filters make mistakes and require constant checking. FunCaptcha presents a mini-game CAPTCHA that blocks the bots while giving your users a few moments of fun. It's a real security solution hardened by experts and automatically updated to provide the best protection. Try [a demo](https://swipeads.co/) on our site! Users complete these little games faster than other CAPTCHAs, with fewer frustrating failures and no typing. They work on all browsers and mobile devices, using HTML5 with a fallback to Flash. Visually impaired users can complete an audio challenge CAPTCHA provided by reCAPTCHA. The FunCaptcha widget works easily on registration and comment forms, as well as Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms. You can keep your anti-spam solutions such as Akismet, though you won't need to check those filters as often. If you get in on the ground floor now, you can be first in line to start earning money with upcoming FunCaptchas that integrate advertising with the fun, fast CAPTCHA games you see now. They will require no typing or extra time, and remain as secure as ever. Learn more, give feedback, and ask questions at our website. Our epic battle against bots doesn't have to be a headache. Let's fight while having some fun! == Installation == You can view instructions with images at [our site](https://swipeads.co/setup/). = Install the Plugin = There is two methods to install FunCaptcha.

It is built on HTML5, with full support for mobiles. It works great with touch interfaces, and does not require any typing. All platforms used by a site’s customers are supported, including every kind of PC and Mac. A Flash version seamlessly appears for older browsers. In short, no user will be blocked. = Is there audio accessibility? = Yes. We use the well-known “reCAPTCHA” service to provide an audio CAPTCHA for those who need it. = Are other CAPTCHAs more secure? = Unfortunately, all typed-in CAPTCHAs are now being solved by bots to some degree. Some newer CAPTCHA alternatives are actually much easier for bots to solve than before! Once these new alternatives become popular enough to be worthwhile for hackers to target, they will crumble. FunCaptcha will stay ahead of the curve, and clearly explain how we do it-- not resort to a black box of promises. = What is a CAPTCHA? = A CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a test to verify that a user is a human instead of a computer program, or “bot”. It stops bots from making user accounts and comments that spam other users, or “scraping” all of the content from a site in order to steal it for other uses. = What is wrong with CAPTCHAs now? = Most CAPTCHAs require the user to read and type in text. The text must be hard to read in order to be effective, so most CAPTCHAs are either annoying, or not difficult enough to stop bots. In any case, as more Internet traffic comes from mobile devices, typing turns off users. In short, everyone hates typed-out CAPTCHAs, and some users simply walk away. = What is FunCaptcha? = FunCaptcha is a CAPTCHA that presents a mini-game that blocks the bots while giving your users a few moments of fun. It’s a real security solution, hardened by experts and automatically updated to provide the best protection. Users complete these little games faster than other CAPTCHAs, with fewer frustrating failures and no typing. They work on all browsers and mobile devices. Visually impaired users can complete an audio challenge. = FunCaptcha does not appear for me = We have noticed a few of our users are using the JetPack plugin, which currently does not support showing a CAPTCHA by third parties. You can disable the JetPack comment addon from your dashboard and it will work fine. There may be other plugins that cause our CAPTCHA to not appear. We recommend you note down any type of comment or registration plugins before you contact us to help us better assist you. If you have any other CAPTCHA plugins, please disable those as well. = FunCaptcha shows an error message = This error message will only appear if you have not correctly added your private and public keys to the settings panel in your wordpress admin dashboard. Our CAPTCHA requires these to properly secure your website. = I'm using the Contact Form 7 plugin. Can I use your CAPTCHA to protect my form? = Absolutely. You can enable our CAPTCHA for Contact Form 7 in the settings of FunCaptcha. 1. Plugins -> FunCaptcha 2. Contact Form 7 Support 3. Tick the box. 4. Our CAPTCHA will now appear as FunCaptcha as a short code option in Contact Form 7's Generate Tag dropdown. = I'm using the Gravity Forms plugin. Can I use your CAPTCHA to protect my form or registration pages? = FunCaptcha supports being displayed as a CAPTCHA for Gravity Forms using the advanced fields tab in Gravity Forms. = I'm using the Buddypress plugin. Can I use your CAPTCHA on my registration page? = Our CAPTCHA has full support for Buddypress and can be included on any Buddypress website. It will automatically work on any Buddypress registration forms and on any other location our CAPTCHA is enabled for. = I'm using your CAPTCHA on a page with both a Form and a comment box, and it only appears once? = Our CAPTCHA currently only supports being displayed once on the same page, so please only show it in a form if there is no comments on the same page. = If I want to use your CAPTCHA on another site, do I need new keys? = Yes, you can get those using the same account at our [website](https://swipeads.co/). Please login with the same account you're currently using for your wordpress site. = Can I customize your CAPTCHA? = We are rapidly updating and adding features to both our Wordpress plugin and our core technology platform, in future we will offer new ways for you to display the CAPTCHA to better match your website as well as improve security if you need. = What do the stars do? = You earn stars as you complete FunCaptchas anywhere on the web. The faster you complete the CAPTCHA challenge, the more stars you get. Gettng 5 stars means you play the games as well as we, the creators, do– and we have lots of practice! Unless you are using a “cookie blocker” or a “do not track” function on your browser, your star count will keep increasing each time you play. Once you reach 100 stars, you will get a special reward. The reward is not implemented yet but stay tuned, and keep honing your FunCaptcha skills! = Other questions? = For a full list of frequently asked questions, please see our [FAQ page](https://swipeads.co/faqs). == Screenshots == 1.
