Getting this error message. Captcha phrase is correctly entered. Tried multiple email addresses. Won't send. Tested public & private keys in WP-reCAPTCHA by posting a comment. It worked fine. Any thoughts?

The reason you are getting that message is not because the reCAPTCHA phrase is wrong, but because WordPress could not send your email out.

It sounds like it may be a problem with the PHP configuration on your server - the reCAPTCHA Form plugin just uses the WordPress wp_mail() function to send email (which is essentially just using the standard PHP mail() function).

Your host should be able to check that it is enabled and configured correctly for you.

I am also experiencing the same problem, it has only started happening since reCAPTCHA changed servers to Google. Is there any reference to the IP in this plugin?

The plugin uses the functionality from the reCAPTCHA library (recaptchalib.php) - the reCAPTCHA server URLs are:


(the above is specified in the library not the plugin by the way)

Hi,


Can you do the following:
Zip up the extension directory you are currently using and attach it to this email
Overwrite recaptchalib.php with the one from http://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/downl...p-1.10.zip
- Ben

This is what the people at reCAPTCHA have told me to do, haven't done it yet, have been away for a couple of days and only just got back. Looks like there may have been a change with the recaptchalib.php

No need to download the library v1.10 as its the same throughout within the plugin.

In reading through my mail server I've noticed as to why it cannot be sent for my side and maybe a few others.

When the mail gets sent my server likes to have an email to send to, in which the case states it doesn't.


** Edited due to security reasons but all else is as shown.

In the first line there is no email address to send my emails to, this used to work perfectly fine before upgrading to 2.9 and 1.2:

Are you trying this out on a live web server or locally with WAMPServer or similar?

Could you tell me what version of PHP you have installed please?

Live webserver
PHP version 5.2.13

the mail(); works fine on other plugins just not this one.

Is there an email address shown in the plugin settings (it defaults to the original blog administrator's email address), and if so is the address shown valid and complete, without spaces before or after the address?

Sam the plug-in is installed as you've written in your instructions. If it was a simple error as that I believe I would of fixed this by now.

The E-Mail address is as it should be within the plug-in settings.

NO NEED FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT ON THIS ERROR!

I found out it was the reCAPTCHA site getting my keys wrong causing these errors on sending.
