Integrated ReCaptcha not working

    We’ve been using CF7 for a while but this is the first time we’ve switched to the Google ReCaptcha system.
    We setup the keys in Google and added them to the settings and added the shortcode [recaptcha] but nothing appeared.

    After some trial and error, we found that the Google js script wasn’t added to the header.
    <script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>

    Is this something that should be added manually or should it be added by the plugin, if the keys are provided?

    Try switching to the default theme.

    Switching to the default theme is not really an option on a live and constantly used website.

    I have to add, we’ve also just added this recaptcha to another website usinf CF7 without this issue, so I assume it is down to the theme (which was built a long time ago, from scratch by someone else).

    How does the plugin add the js file to the header? Where can I find it in the code of the plugin?
    I might be able to update the theme to work correctly with it, instead of just adding the line I did to the header file.

    I think I found it.
    The theme wasn’t calling wp_footer in the footer.php

    Fixed it now.

    Thanks.
    I forgot that flag.

    This issue is resolved.

    Experiencing a weird issue on GD server where Captcha displays on form.

    IF I enter the code on the form the first try, it says invalid code. I try the new code, and it works?

    Just started with this latest update.

    Have you seen this before ?

    Was able to successfully remove the RSC and installed the Google Captcha, once I changed out the short code all is working.

    It would be nice for the next time you update the CF7 plugin to add a note somewhere with the link in that integration tab, so that others would know you have to DL and install that plugin. I had been up for some 30 hours and did not catch that and fumbled around a bit. So in essence documentation could be a bit better.

    In fact that option should not even be available (grayd out) as long as you have the RSC plugin installed and activated. Just sayin…:)

    Thanks
