Recaptcha 2.0 Not Working, Returning: Unknown error…

    I have this plugin installed on several websites. As of the latest build (with the latest build of WordPress), I can no longer login to the sites. The plugin is utilizing the Recaptcha 2.0 (“I am not a robot” checkbox), but returns the following error on the login submission: Unknown error. Please contact an administrator for more info.

    -Disabling the plugin via FTP allows for normal login (so it’s not the username/password).
    -This is happening across several installations, with no common theme or plugin running on each install, aside from BWP Recaptcha (so it’s likely not a conflict).
    -All of the domains are running the latest plugin build and latest version of WordPress (4.3.1) (all installs are set to auto-update WordPress core and plugins as updates become available).
    -This happens on domains where the login page is masked to a custom URL AND on domains using the standard /wp-admin login URL.
    -I tried re-entering the API keys on one of the domains (I had to disable the plugin first via FTP to login). I then logged out and attempted to log back in – I received the same error.

    Any thoughts on what the culprit may be?

    Thanks in advance,
    Isaiah

    Did this happen right after you update the plugin to 2.x? Do you add the captcha to anything else (the comment form, for e.g.?) and if so does it work in those forms?

    In order to debug this more easily, you can open two browsers, one as a guest, and one as an admin (tick “remember me”). In the admin browser, enable/disable the plugin and in the guest browser you can try to login without having to use FTP.

    Also, if possible, please add this line:

    var_dump($response->getErrorCodes()); exit;

    to bwp-recaptcha/includes/provider/v2.php, before line 97, and then try to login again and post the output you see.

    Thank you for all provided details.

    Sorry for the delay, I was out of town with limited time to address this and just got back into office.

    I would presume this occurred after the last update, since I just noticed this last week and prior to that haven’t logged in to any of these sites in awhile.

    I’ve tried adding the code to the v2.php file before line 97, but that creates a syntax error, so it breaks the display of recaptcha, though the form is still requiring a correct response to login.

    Here’s the code starting on line 97, in case the lines are’t correct based on where you want to put it. 

    97 public function printRecaptchaJS()
 98	{
 99		$args = array(

    Maybe include a couple lines of code before and after where you want me to place the code, so I make sure to add it correctly?

    No worry, I’ve figured out the issue and fixed it. The fix will be included in 2.0.2 (will be released ASAP).
