Joomla integrated captcha not working?

[Surel]

Found the root of the problem. The template I used had disabled Mootools. Now it's up and running.

[Webdongle]

Always test with a Template that is installed with Joomla

The same issue appeared for me on non-secure...

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";

The API_SERVER in Joomla default code was wrong and I updated to above. RECAPTCHA now displayed on my site.

Thank you! That was the right decision for me. Best wishes!

Hello,

facing this problem too on my sites with Joomla 2.5.
SOLUTION:

Code: Select all

site_root/plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php

change lines 24-26 to:

Code: Select all

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER = "www.google.com";

change line 118 to:

Code: Select all

$response = $this->_recaptcha_http_post(self::RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER, "/recaptcha/api/verify",

and test it.

in file : site_root/plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php, line 69,

Replace by text :
JHtml::_('script', 'http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/ ... ha_ajax.js');

Because Google has changed url of library.

The same issue appears in the Joomla 3.x sites as well.
The solution here applies to 3x as well.

I have been having this problem with my Login form all that shows is the Captcha title text and nothing else. In the end this worked for me

plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";

I changed both the Api Server and Secure Server to this and it showed straight up.

Hi, is now also fixed in Joomla 3.2.1 and Joomla 2.5.17 releases!

[dattard]

Yes, this has been fixed on Joomla 3.2.1 and 2.5.17. I was writing a tutorial on how to enable recaptcha in Joomla - and upgrading to the latest Joomla build fixed my problem.

For your information, the link doesn't work.

[dattard]

Yes, I'm experiencing some downtime, please check back again later.

Thanks and excuse the inconvenience.

Edit: It's fixed now

[kckepz]

Just confirming that every line edited in this coding works and helped with the same problem I was having.

Thank you community.

Working well!!

[OSlimey1]

Ran into this issue with a 2.5.8 site. I have it working now. Not sure what was the absolute fix because I did three things.
1. Added the line in the PHP code - didn't fix
2. Generated new key from Google - didn't fix.
3. Updated the Joomla core to 2.5.11 - that seemed to fix it right away.

[Webdongle]

Why did you not update to 2.5.18 ?

[canadarama]

I am stumped! I have tried all of the above, including updating site to 2.5.19 and captcha will not display at all: http://www.summerlandmotel.com/contact-us

I knew it had to be something simple! I had to edit Contact Manager Options (Form tab) "Allow Captcha On Contact".

[lolol]

The possibility exists that displays the CAPTCHA code as I'm behind?
Can I show different changes in the plugin?

[photokev]

I had the same problem, I just re-did the keys and it's working fine

Sometimes it's best not to over-think things! I'm glad it's working for you now
