Theme options – reCaptcha settings

8300 views

You can enable Google reCaptcha v2 for the user registration form to help prevent spam or bot registrations.

Note: All theme forms are already protected by WordPress security measures (nonces), so reCaptcha is optional. But enabling it provides extra anti-spam protection.

Enable this option to show a “I’m not a robot” checkbox on the user registration from Theme Options – Register & Login Settings – reCaptcha settings.

If enabled – the register form looks like this:

To use reCaptcha, you need to generate a Site Key and Secret Key from Google:

  • Go to: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create
  • Choose reCaptcha v2
  • Add your domain name (e.g., example.com)
  • Submit the form
  • Copy the credentials
  • Site Key → Paste into the “reCaptcha Site Key” field in Theme Options
  • Secret Key → Paste into the “reCaptcha Secret Key” field in Theme Options

If you get this error

Error: “Invalid domain for site key”

  • Double-check that your domain is entered correctly in Google reCaptcha (e.g., no https://, no paths or ports).
  • Example of a valid domain: yourwebsite.com

A valid domain requires a host and must not include any protocol, path, port, query or fragment.

2.” I am not a robot” not working

  • Check your server’s php.ini file
  • Make sure this is set allow_url_fopen = On
    This setting is required for the reCaptcha system to verify responses.
