I tested it to be certain. </p> <p>The reCaptcha field cannot be used with AJAX enabled on the form. See this documentation for more info (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CAPTCHA)" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CAPTCHA)</a>.</p> <p>It sounds like your solution is working for you, so that is great! That is the magic of Gravity Forms, you can make it do so much. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-recaptcha-only-for-nonmembers#post-50234 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:22:37 +0000 ecurtain 50234@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the response Dana,</p> <p>Would that approach work with reCaptcha? It seems like it hides a field but still creates it. Wouldn't that cause the reCaptcha to fail on form submission?</p> <p>Another concern for me was AJAX submission. I want to enable when possible, but I've read it doesn't play well with reCaptcha. I want to enable AJAX for members to streamline their experience.</p> <p>I've implemented something of a brute-force workaround. I duplicated the form and tailored it for members (hidden name/email fields) and visitors (added reCaptcha), and choose which to call based on the user login status. This also allows me to specify AJAX for members.</p> <p>I appreciate the information - the post you referenced was very interesting!</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Phillip </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-recaptcha-only-for-nonmembers#post-50229 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:13:04 +0000 Dana Cobb 50229@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, Phillip,</p> <p>If you mean only show the recaptcha field when users aren't logged in, take a look at this forum topic which explains how to conditionally show fields based on whether users are logged in or not - <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/conditional-fields-for-registered-user#post-22859" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/conditional-fields-for-registered-user#post-22859</a></p> <p>Let me know if you have questions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-recaptcha-only-for-nonmembers#post-49552 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:56:39 +0000 ecurtain 49552@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey there,</p> <p>I haven't seen this question asked yet, but it's an important one for our client:</p> <p>Is it possible to show the recaptcha form for nonmembers, and disable it for members?
