You can add an extra layer of security to your registration process by requiring members complete a reCAPTCHA in order to join a membership level. This feature is easily enabled in WishList Member and can save you time and effort as it helps weed out potential spam users. If you have the Require reCAPTCHA option selected for a membership level, the reCAPTCHA can be automatically displayed to users who want to register.
Enabling the Require reCAPTCHA Option in WishList Member
The Require reCAPTCHA option can be enabled in the Setup > Levels > *Click on Level Name* > Requirements section of WishList Member.
