Just provide a specific button's CSS selector, and the plugin will display a captcha prompt before the action is completed. This could help to prevent spam and unwanted bot activity.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong>\n- Add a mathematical captcha to form submit buttons (<code>&lt;input type=\"submit\"&gt;<\/code> or <code>&lt;button type=\"submit\"&gt;<\/code>) by specifying their CSS selector (ID or class).\n- Attempts to protect forms from automated submissions.\n- No external dependencies \u2014 lightweight and fast.\n- Simple configuration via the WordPress dashboard.\n- If JavaScript is disabled, this plugin will hide the selected buttons.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How It Works:<\/strong>\nWhen a user clicks the protected button, a small popup will appear asking them to solve a basic math problem (e.g., <code>5 + 3 = ?<\/code>). If answered correctly, the action will proceed.<\/p>\n\n<p>If JavaScript is disabled in the browser, the plugin hides the selected submit button.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/mathematical-captcha-applier<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress <strong>Plugins<\/strong> screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings &gt; Mathematical Captcha Applier<\/strong> to configure the buttons you want to protect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id='does%20this%20work%20with%20all%20forms%3F'><h3>Does this work with all forms?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, as long as the submit button is either <code>&lt;input type=\"submit\"&gt;<\/code> or <code>&lt;button type=\"submit\"&gt;<\/code> and you specify its unique class or ID as the selector.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id='can%20i%20protect%20multiple%20buttons%3F'><h3>Can I protect multiple buttons?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, you can specify multiple selectors in the settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id='does%20it%20require%20javascript%3F'><h3>Does it require JavaScript?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, the captcha popup and validation rely on JavaScript.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id='is%20this%20plugin%20designed%20to%20handle%20all%20kinds%20of%20spamming%20threats%3F'><h3>Is this plugin designed to handle all kinds of spamming threats?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. This plugin is not designed to handle all types of spamming threats.
