Google recaptcha V3 here

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 05:11:14 +0000

I don't know how useful this will be, but I've just tested it and hope it's helpful. You should go and get your keys.

Unlike previous versions, this plugin is 100% invisible. It doesn't require users to check "I'm not a robot" boxes or solve annoying visual puzzles.

Is there a way to activate recaptcha on the entire site?

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 19:31:23 +0000

Local captcha without google?

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 18:44:18 +0000

I'm getting a lot of spam and I would really like to use a captcha plugin. Unfortunately, q2a only comes with Google's recaptcha.

What other captcha can I install that only works locally, no Google? I'm looking for a stable plugin, no "beta" code.

I would also like to suggest this as a feature for q2a. Local captchas do not need 3rd party services to work.

Google captcha is not showing on "Feedback" page But it is showing on others page perfectly.

PHP Question2Answer email send error: SMTP connect() failed.

Sun, 07 Mar 2021 20:14:44 +0000

I configured the site and it worked fine on version PHP 5.5

Mail was sent and recaptcha worked.

Send email via SMTP instead of local mail

SMTP server port 465

Send SMTP username and password

Then I changed the server version to PHP 5.6 and everything broke.

Recaptcha does not work:

PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:\nerror:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in .../qa-plugin/recaptcha-captcha/recaptchalib.php on line 128

PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in .../qa-plugin/recaptcha-captcha/recaptchalib.php on line 128

PHP Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=...&response=...

And the mail does not send:

PHP Question2Answer email send error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

Then I changed the server version back to PHP 5.5 and everything started working again.

For other sites I need to upgrade the server version to 7, I think everything will break again.

reCaptcha works properly on PHP 7.0 but doesn't work on PHP 7.4

Fri, 03 Jul 2020 14:15:44 +0000

I changed PHP version in Cpanel from 7.0 to 7.4 and after that reCAPTCHA displays properly, validates properly, but shows error "Please complete the anti-spam verification" when you click submit button on any form registration / question / comment.

Now I've made a teporary solution by changing PHP version back to 7.0 and reCAPTCHA works properly, but eventually I'd like to have PHP version 7.4. Any ideas?

Plugin: reCAPTCHA v2.0

Edit: I've made a few tests - I've changed PHP version to 5.4, 7.0 (native), 7.1, 7.4 and reCaptcha works correctly on my Q2A site only on PHP 7.0 (native).

Thu, 21 May 2020 09:31:53 +0000

The reCAPTCHA v2.0 plugin does not work, I installed it and configured the keys, but it does not appear anywhere. Neither during registration, nor during the publication of questions, and not even when answering. Why is reCAPTCHA v2.0 not working?

reCAPTCHA Fix: "Please complete the anti-spam verification"

Sat, 09 May 2020 05:30:40 +0000

After struggling for 2 days to get reCAPTCHA to work on my site, I have finally found a fix. So just thought about reporting it here so it would be helpful to others, as I have seen this question a lot here, but no fix.

Problem: reCAPTCHA displays properly, validates properly, but shows error "Please complete the anti-spam verification" when you click submit button on any form registration / question / comment.

Fix: Change php version to 7.4 in Cpanel under PHP Selector. I was using 7.2 php version before and reCAPTCHA was giving error.

OpenSSL Error - reCaptcha

Fri, 15 Sep 2017 12:41:02 +0000

Hello,

I tried to upgrade to 1.7.5 and I am getting this error and all the registrations are stuck. I had way too much spam and had this working for a while, now with this error. I am not sure how to fix this ?

Also, I tried http://www.bigsoft.co.uk/blog/index.php/2017/04/29/file-get-contents-ssl-operation-failed-with-code-1-ssl3-get-server-certificate-certificate-verify-failed they said to import certificate and then add in php.ini, but I am not sure what will break. It used to work well before. Now this problem.

Also, I tried to revert back to 1.7.4, still the same error. Now I am stuck..

Can anyone help ? Did anyone see the same ? Would be great, if you have some ideas.
