Re: Joomla integrated captcha not working?
Found the root of the problem. The template I used had disabled Mootools. Now it's up and running.

Always test with a Template that is installed with Joomla

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

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.

Re: Joomla integrated captcha not working?
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.
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";

Re: Joomla integrated captcha not working?
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.

Re: Joomla integrated captcha not working?
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.

Re: Joomla integrated captcha not working?
Why did you not update to 2.5.18 ?

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

Re: Joomla integrated captcha not working?
The possibility exists that displays the CAPTCHA code as I'm behind?
Can I show different changes in the plugin?
