Hi,
Recently, a lot of SPAM comments have started appearing under my posts, requiring manual approval. I read about the reCAPTCHA feature and tried to add it. I enabled the necessary settings in the theme panel, generated the Google API keys and inserted them. Now it shows that everything is configured, but the reCAPTCHA logo appears in the bottom-right corner of the entire site. I would like the reCAPTCHA to appear only next to the comments section at the bottom of posts, not on the whole site. How can this be achieved?
Please find attached a link to an example of how it looks now, and an example of how it looks on another site under the comment:

Thank you!
Also consider AKISMET plugin from WordPress.
Hello!
Unfortunately, Google will display it automatically. There are no other settings to place it where you want. Sorry!
Thank you for understanding!

Unfortunately our reCAPTCHA don’t ask to click on it and spam comments still coming in to box.
Is it possible that there are some mistake?

Try to use the Antispam Bee plugin.
Thank you!
Ok, but if we would like to choose google reCAPTCHA how to achieve it?
Maybe we need to edit some how Single Post template?
Or try to reconnect google api with tagDiv theme?
I am asking becouse of other news site built on Newspaper theme use reCAPTCHA right under articles.
But our even isn’t opened, just reCAPTCHA logo!
There something isn’t right.
Hello!
Do you use Google Recaptcha v3, and did you modify the score? If you’re using reCAPTCHA v3, lower the score threshold you accept.
Use extra behavior analysis (like mouse movement). Google reCAPTCHA v3 already does some of this, but custom behavior tracking can catch more.
Thank you!
Yes, we use v3. In the beginning score was 0.5, now we modify to 0.7, to test.
What score you suggest?
Where I can find these options “Use extra behavior analysis (like mouse movement). Google reCAPTCHA v3 already does some of this, but custom behavior tracking can catch more.”

Unfortunately, we do not have other options—only the ones presented in the theme panel.
