These comments were coming in hundreds, until i have finally found a way to prevent this from happening. So, if you’re a blog owner too & receiving spam comments, this post will surely help you out. Just follow the instructions given & there will be no spam comments after this on your blog. ## Instructions: # - First of all, you will have to install a plugin named “Simple Google reCAPTCHA“, in order to do this, Hover your mouse cursor over the “Plugins” from left sidebar & then click on “Add New”. ![spamp1](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a9bb427868cb75727480a0f7f4e79e6f3503b6ee.png) - Once you’re on the page, type “Simple Google reCAPTCHA” (without quotes) in the search bar & hit enter from keyboard. Once plugin appears, click on Install button & wait for it to be installed. ![spamp2](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3684106ab1b3d2ac21409ce57aa37e34bdaa0c57.png) - Once installed, Hit the “Activate” button from the same page & plugin will be activated & its page will be opened, where it will ask for site keys. ![spamp3](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c40c3e584a1a8586f7fca322272702c30d23f8fd.png) - Now, Go to THIS LINK & sign in to your google account & you should see a box, type in a label for your website. ![spamp4](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/2X/e/eb3deeab3ba09fd6858f26b0188b97b9dab70b3d.png) - Next, select “reCAPTCHA V2” & type in website URL in the textbox, check the terms & click register. ![spamp6](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/2X/5/59956e5adb39f45cf4407b83c738692066916a8b.png) - Another page will be opened, where it will give you site key & secret key. Copy these keys & paste them in the plugin’s page, then click “Save Changes” button. ![spamp7](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4787558e9575e25fdb4c09affde0808482d81871.png) - That’s it, It will show captcha on every form of website, which will prevent spam comments. _Regards, SaM_ ✊ ---
