I’m using this plugin since 2 years. I mostly use this plugin for comment form. Must use plugin for login, registration and comments form.

The basic functions of this plugin do not work, so I don’t trust paying for the pro-plan will be worth it. So many users complain about not being able to log in daily. Even when I try to set the very basic “I AM NOT A ROBOT” button, it always asks the math question, which apparently thinks math is racist because 2+2 does not equal 4 with this plugin.

I have carefully followed all the procedures (this isn’t my first time), yet Google reCaptcha v3 is still not appearing on my site. It’s simply not working!

martinloehr 16 di Zenâr dal 2025

Using a simple basic domain and setup WP with standard features to try the recaptcha Plugin delieveres consequently the same error, even if the key check inside the plugin says “All Okay”.There is NO Subdomain or any other structure which can make it difficult, its only a simple DE domain which tells me fehlerhinweis für inhaber der website invalid domain for site key.But it is not its clearly defines at google recaptcha, not used for another domain NO only for one domain.So I think there is a clear improvement error which has to be found.In the meantime we will uninstall the plugin otherwise the website and so the business is interupted.Let me know when the error is fixed.Thanks
