How to configure reCAPTCHA to default to a visual challenge

[Damien]

Hi,

I've added reCAPTCHA to my contact form, but the default is an audio challenge. I've looked at the settings, and there is a slider to make the challenges easier or harder, but nothing I do changes the default away from an audio challenge. I want to set the default to be a visual challenge, but it seems Google doesn't give us this flexibility, the nong-heads! Or is it simply that I can't find where to toggle the setting? Seeking feedback on this issue.

Thank you kindly,

Damien

actually it should default to a visual challenge.

the only way to change the default is not on server but on client side (i.e. your HTML file) where you can set the "data-type" parameter on the recaptcha div just just the type attribute in case you are rendering it via js. valid options are audio and image, and it defaults to image. so maybe you have set the type somewhere in your files.

Thanks My1. Your info helped me fix it.

For the record, I am using the Avada WordPress theme contact page. The theme automatically defaults the reCAPTCHA data-type="audio".

So for anyone else who has this problem using the Avada theme, here's how to fix it...

1. In your WP control panel go to Appearance > Editor
2. Find and select contact.php
3. Edit the code and change data-type="audio" to data-type="image"

Cheers,
