We’ve got some big news to share. CAPTCHA 4WP has officially joined the WPKube family! This is a huge step forward for the plugin, and we’re genuinely excited about what it means for you and the wider WordPress community.
Let’s take a minute to walk through what this means. But first, let’s look at the plugin’s origins.
CAPTCHA 4WP: A Brief History
CAPTCHA 4WP has been a trusted tool for WordPress users who want to keep spam and bots at bay. Originally built by Melapress and led by Robert Abela, the plugin quickly earned a reputation for being both powerful and easy to use. It works smoothly with popular form plugins and supports several versions of Google reCAPTCHA v2, v3, and invisible CAPTCHA, giving you the flexibility to choose the right protection for yoursites.
Melapress has built a name for itself with focused, security-minded plugins like WP 2FA and WP Activity Log. They’ve always been about creating practical tools that solve real problems, and CAPTCHA 4WP fits right in. It’s simple, effective, and has helped thousands of WordPress site owners lock down their forms without the usual headaches.
The Move to WPKube
WPKube has been a trusted resource in the WordPress world for years, offering in-depth tutorials, helpful tools, and advice for users at every level. They also own many other WordPress products like Authors List, Simple Basic Contact Form, and many other free plugins. So, bringing CAPTCHA 4WP into fold just makes sense. It’s a natural fit with our mission to make WordPress easier, safer, and more powerful for everyone.
With WPKube now at the helm, you can expect the same great plugin experience you’re used to, just with even more support behind it. They’re committed to keeping everything that works well, while also looking for smart ways to improve the plugin and connect it with the rest of their growing offerings.
What Does This Mean for Existing CAPTCHA 4WP Users?
If you’re already using CAPTCHA 4WP, there’s nothing you need to worry about. Everything will keep running just as it always has. The plugin will continue to get regular updates and support, staying fully compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and evolving web security best practices.
As WPKube steps in, their plan is to build on the solid groundwork laid by Melapress. They’re looking at ways to make the plugin even better, whether that’s improving the interface, adding new features, or making it easier to integrate with other tools. And through it all, they’re keeping one thing front and center: what’s best for you.
Looking Ahead
WPKube’s acquisition of CAPTCHA 4WP signals a clear commitment to helping WordPress users manage and secure their sites with confidence. As we step into this next chapter, we’re doubling down on reliability and refining existing features, all with the WordPress community in mind.
