ERROR: Global site keys are not supported

  • Hi

    I upgraded wp-recaptcha version 4.0.1 and I think it messed up with my WordPress site’s comment stating this error: ERROR: Global site keys are not supported

    What can I restore the wp-recaptcha or the developer needs to fix it asap ? I use Twenty Ten theme of WordPress.

    Thanks for help in advance. Please fix it asap….

  • Version 4 (or newer) of the plugin uses version 2 of the reCAPTCHA API, and that doesn’t support global keys.

    You need to go to Settings => WP-reCAPTCHA in your WordPress admin, and replace the API keys with new ones you create at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin (or you can delete your old keys & generate new ones).

    It’s unfortunate that this plugin has a Changelog that doesn’t have the most recent changes documented, removed MailHide without notice, and doesn’t document the fact that v2 of the API needs to be used without global keys in a more visible & understandable fashion (in its current state, to be fair)… but yeah… hope that helps!

    KZeni,

    Thank you so much for a quick reply. I re-created a new one and added new keys into WordPress’ wp-recaptcha options. Bingo!!! I see the new wp-recaptcha logo and “I am not a robot.” Pretty cool! Thanks again KZeni!

    I forgot to add…

    Even though it works fine however do I need to do the client-server integration and server-side integration ?

    Thanks.

    The WP-reCAPTCHA plugin serves as the client/server-side integration so you don’t need to worry about that part of reCAPTCHA’s API key page. The plugin’s taking care of that part for you. ??

    Hi All,

    The problem is solved ??

    Its very simple to fix the issue.

    Following are the steps to solve the issue

    • 1. Visit the reCaptcha page of google and Click on the GetReCaptcha button
    • 2. If you are logged-in into google account it will not ask for login details otherwise get logged-in.
    • 3.It will take you to the following page https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#list .
    • 4.Delete the old keys if you have of your DOMAIN, otherwise you might an ERROR: Global site keys are not supported
    • 5. Enter your domain name and all the details it require.
    • 6. It will generate new Site key and Secret Key.
    • 7. Paste this snippet before the closing </head> tag on your HTML template:
      <script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>
    • 8. Paste this snippet at the end of the <form> where you want the reCAPTCHA widget to appear:
      <div class=”g-recaptcha” data-sitekey=”[YOUR-SITE-KEY]“></div>
    • 9. Update the wp-Recaptcha plugin to the latest version.
    • 10. Paste the new Site
      key and Secret key into the wp-recaptcha setting page.
    • 11. Delete all the Cache of your browser if you have or any other plugin you have installed for cache.

    I don’t understand how to do Step #7. How do I get access to the <head> tag so that I can put that code just before </head>?

    Thanks,

    Diane

    @sumitkumar-nayak & @dchoban

    I actually didn’t have do to the steps 7 & 8 that you listed. I just updated the plugin & added the new (not global) site key to the settings page (like I had outlined previously & had someone confirm as working). This plugin is set up to take care of steps 7 & 8 for you.

    Thanks so much.

    Not sure what happened, but I did steps 1-6 and 9-11 and now the page that had my recaptcha on it won’t even load. It was working fine before. It works when I uncheck “add recaptcha to contact form” within my theme settings. Kinda weird.

    Notice there is no recaptcha on there because it interferred with the page loading.

    @dchoban There may be a conflict with your theme (rather than an issue with this plugin). It looks like you’re running 2.7.7 of the uDesign theme and that theme’s changelog shows version 2.7.8 fixed a bug the theme had with reCAPTCHA. That might be the bug you’re experiencing.

    I sure hope that’s it. Thanks for taking the time to help me with this.
