Hello,

I just launched WP-Foro, all excited to have my users check it out, but they can't register.

They get the error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed

My reCAPTCHA API Keys (version 2, "I'm not a robot" checkbox) are green/accepted.

I do have reCAPTCHA enabled and it works in other forms that I have on my site, but not for guests who come to FP Foro and need to register. Is Version 2 perhaps not the right one to use?

Forums >> Tools >> A·kis·met is enabled

What am I missing?

Should I turn on WPress registration instead of WP Foro's reg?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am stuck without users being able to register.

Thanks,

Vivie

So, I figured this out (sorta), so I thought I'd share my findings in case others run into this...

1) I noticed that there were two reCAPTCHA boxes in my login & register screens.

After some experimentation, I determined that if users skipped the first but checked the second, they could register and log on successfully.

I tried various things, searched forums, but couldn't figure out how to get rid of the duplicate boxes.

2) Through trial and error, I also determined that the second reCAPTCHA box was for agreeing to get an email notification for the account/password. That needed to be checked only. ???

3) SOLUTION: I turned OFF the wpForo login/registration/login forms from Forums>> Tools and enabled the default WordPress ones (again, on the same page - Forums >> Tools).

Now, my login pages have just one reCAPTCHA box and my guest users can register. 🙂

@vivie-sinou,

It seems you're using some other ReCaptcha plugin, thus there is such kind of conflict. You should either keep the current ReCaptcha plugin or disable it and use the wpForo built-in ReCaptcha.

@astghik - Thank you. Things are working now, so unless it's preferable to use your built-in plugin, I'll leave things alone. Are there any advantages to using wpForo's built-in ReCaptcha? I can try disabling the other ReCaptcha plugin I have been using, as long as it doesn't impact other forms on my site that also need this.
