reCAPTCHA will not work

Post by mezzio »

I'm using guestbook 2.0.1 on my joomla 1.7 site -> http://45-1cvma.org

The guestbook works without any security enabled, and it works with basic captcha methods (standard, math, TTF), however, it won't work with reCAPTCHA. I've had a sudden increase in spam coming in using the other captcha methods, so I've once again started to figure out this reCAPTCHA problem I've been having since install.

I'm using my keys assigned for my site, I can get it to display, but when I input the challenge I get "The Captcha code you have entered is wrong. Please, try it again". I honestly don't even know where to begin looking, or if anyone else has had this issue. I've searched a bit on the forums, but mostly came up with stuff for other versions.

Hi, try to test if your server does not have any security restrictions -e.g. to contact the captcha server :idea: Try to test cache settings, etc.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response, unfortunately I've had a fatal hard drive crash which has rendered my main computer useless until I can get it in for hard drive replacement. Once I do I'll check the server settings and get back with you... reCAPTCHA does work with almost everything else on my site though (registration, forums, etc).
