Hiding reCaptcha v3 badge on WordPress

I saw this article on hiding the reCaptcha v3 badge which automatically displays on the bottom right hand corner of the screen if reCaptcha is enabled in your Contact Forms.

I needed to hide the v3 badge was as it clashed with the location of a ‘Scroll to Top’ button, the implementation of the code to hide the badge was very simple:

Locate Appearance on Dashboard
Select – Customise
Click on – Additional CSS
Add the text in the box and save, then check you can send mail.

Google does allow the badge to be hidden, but their are conditions which the linked article above refers which need to be implemented.

In my case I added the statement – ‘This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply’, to my left hand sidebar, directly under the Contact Form using the Wiget menu.

I hope this helps.
