I didn’t like how Google reCAPTCHA was visible on all the pages of my blog, even the ones that didn’t have a contact form. It occupied precious digital real estate, especially on mobile devices.
So I decided to hide it (as removing is not recommended by Google). Here’s how:
Steps to hide Google reCAPTCHA on WordPress
I am currently using WordPress 6.7 with Twenty Twenty-four theme and Google reCAPTCHA integration through Contact Form 7. Here are the steps I followed to hide Google reCAPTCHA on my blog:
- Login to WordPress Dashboard
- Go to Appearance
- Click on Customize and Choose Additional CSS
- Add the code below in the text box:
.grecaptcha-badge { visibility: hidden; }
- Save and preview
- Mandatory Step: Add text links to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service pages in a position prominent to site users (I added it to my contact page)
Let me know how it worked a comment or a message. Nice day!
