Description
Makuruwan Arithmetic Human Quiz adds a lightweight arithmetic human-verification challenge to WordPress login, standard WordPress comments, WooCommerce product reviews, and custom forms. It helps keep bots out without relying on Google reCAPTCHA or external services.
Comment and product-review protection is enforced server-side on the normal WordPress comment submission endpoint, so simply removing the visible quiz field does not bypass the check.
Screenshots
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/makuruwan-arithmetic-human-quiz/and activate it. - Go to Settings Human Quiz to configure the quiz.
- Enable or disable protection separately for login, blog/post comments, and WooCommerce product reviews.

FAQ
-
Can I protect only the login form?
-
Yes. You can enable or disable login protection in the plugin settings.
-
What shortcode should I use in custom forms?
-
Use
[makarhq_human_check]inside your<form>tag so the fields are submitted with the form. -
Does it protect WordPress comments?
-
Yes. Version 1.1.0 can require the arithmetic challenge before a visitor submits a normal WordPress comment.
-
Does it protect WooCommerce product reviews?
-
Yes. Product review forms can be protected independently from normal blog/post comments.
-
Are logged-in users also asked to solve the quiz on comments and reviews?
-
Yes. When comment or product-review protection is enabled, the challenge is rendered for both logged-in and logged-out users using the standard WordPress comment form hooks.
