[Solved]ReCaptcha plugin

I get this error:

ReCaptcha plugin needs a public key to be set in its parameters. Please contact a site administrator.

I don't know if it's an error - but the system is giving it. I've added my own recaptcha from google. still does it. what can be the problem?

Hi,

Please go to http://www.google.com/recaptcha to register an account then get the public key to input in the plugin configuration page then it will work. Check out details at https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... recaptcha/

Have a nice day!

i've already registered with google. and i inputed into the plugin..

i've tried both multiple domains and single domain key. still that error. the ReCaptcha still appears though on the page.. just that error message.

Hi,

Here you go check out the solution https://www.gavick.com/support/forums/1 ... tml#p60572

i triple checked everything.

private/public key is set correctly.
reCaptcha plugin is enabled.
The global setting is set to reCaptcha
user options is set to reCaptcha


The reCaptcha is visisble and works. however, that message is displayed.

I got this info from that topic:

GK reCAPTCHA is not available for Joomla 2.5 because templates use default captcha from Joomla.

So please use default captcha feature of Joomla instead!

so how do i turn everything off?

when i turn recaptcha off i get the please contact admin as it's not enabled in the error on the front...

so there is no solution for this? how come everything works fine on the demo site.

Can you PM me your backend access then I can check further?

Turn off the same page, member registration

actually.. i just installed another recaptcha plugin and everything started working.. interesting how you're plugin didn't work.. but it's ok. it's all good.

Anyways, good to hear that. Our development team will try to replicate and diagnose the issue to fix if it's really a bug.

Have a nice day!

I get the same error with World News II Qucikstart 2.5 My submission form works and send email but still have this same warning message at top.

I get this error:

Hi dirthog,

Have you tried any of my suggestions above and did any help you out?

Yes I have tried them with no joy. I'm using the ReCaptcha that came with J2.5, I disabled the gkReCaptcha, set my private and public keys. In the registration popup the text "Captcha*" show but no captcha words shown. In the contact all works but warning message is shown.

Like I posted earlier, I've done all this. I have my public and private key configured. My contact form works but I STILL have the warning message at the top "RECAPTCHA PLUGIN NEEDS A PUBLIC KEY TO BE SET IN ITS PARAMETERS. PLEASE CONTACT A SITE ADMINISTRATOR."
