When setting up a profile for people to subscribe to a newsletter, in the 'Settings' area next to the Recaptcha box there's a blue help bubble which says 'Do not enable this feature if you are using this profile as an HTML Form Snippet embedded in a non-CiviCRM web page. reCAPTCHA requires dynamic page generation. Submitting a stand-alone form with reCAPTCHA included will always result in a reCAPTCHA validation error.' Is this really the case? I noticed some answers on here telling people to add Recaptcha to profiles to avoid spam.

guessing this is likely to be a big NO. did you get anywhere further with this?– petednz - fuzion ♦Aug 5, 2022 at 3:48

Well...I went ahead with the profile & no recaptcha - and we got spammed badly. So I switched to a webform. Hey ho.– Andy ClarkAug 5, 2022 at 7:31

how did a webform help get it on to a remote site? i didn't think that was possible. or you mean you had it on same site?– petednz - fuzion ♦Aug 5, 2022 at 20:32

The external website had some words and a link to the webform, which I made look as close as possible to the website, & the webform included a Recaptcha. This is a D7 site.– Andy ClarkAug 6, 2022 at 7:27

ok. yep that makes sense. am pretty sure we once did an embed from a d7 webform to an external site, so we just used ThemeKey to deliver a completely blank theme for the hosting site, so the embed did have any evidence of coming from another site.– petednz - fuzion ♦Aug 7, 2022 at 8:39
