    Can folks chime in on what they've done to add reCAPTCHA to their post comments? I've tried a few plug-ins with no real success:

    Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft: Supposedly offers reCAPTCHA for both forms and comments; the reCAPTCHA for forms works great for my Contact form, but the reCAPTCHA for comments do not - the reCAPTCHA simply doesn't get displayed and when a user tries to submit the comment it complains about incorrect reCAPTCHA. Their Support had an article for updating comment_form() but Genesis seems to have its own hooks for comment forms.

    WP reCaptcha Integration: This is a very simple plugin that only offers reCAPATCHA for login, lost password, signup and comments form. Enabled reCAPTCHA for comments, but see the same issue as the BestWebSoft plugin - the reCAPTCHA simply don't get displayed and when a user tries to submit the comment it complains about incorrect reCAPTCHA

    Ninja Forms: Doesn't seem to offer reCAPTCHA for comments; only for forms

    Is there a recommended way or a Best Practice on how to make reCAPTCHA work for Comments for a Genesis theme?

    I'm using the eleven40 theme.

    Good question. The easiest way is to use the WP-reCAPTCHA plugin.
