ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key reCAPTCHA

  • I recently replaced my recaptcha plugins on this site and this morning my client reported seeing this error message.

    The original plugin I’d been using was “Invisible Recapcha” which I removed as it hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and appears to be abandoned by the developer. I tried installing another plugin “Friendly Captcha for WordPress” but found this plugin had a hidden paywall and removed it. I next installed “WC Captcha” but later found a pair of plugins I found work better while making similar updates for another client’s website, and removed WC Captcha.

    I then installed 2 plugins “CF7 Invisible reCAPTCHA” and “Login Security reCAPTCHA”.

    I’ve verified the site and secret keys are correct in both plugins, that my domain is set up correctly in Google reCAPTCHA and have tried disabling all captcha related plugins and features and this error persists no matter what I do.

    I’m wondering if any of the removed plugins left code or database entries behind after removal (WC Captcha may not be the source of this as this error was already present before removing it).

    Any thoughts?

    I recommend asking at the dedicated support forum of that plugin so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    Which one? I mentioned several DIFFERENT plugins. Which plugin do you suggest I post in, and which specific plugins do you suggest I ignore? Maybe the plugin that’s abandoned and where I will NEVER get an answer perhaps? One of the other plugins that may or may not be the source of the problem?

    I’m posting here because there’s multiple plugins, and no way of knowing which specific one is the cause, AND one of them is abandoned and if I post there, that just means nobody will even see my question. So what would you have me do?

    As I said, any help in troubleshooting this issue would be much appreciated.

    Check your settings at Google. The issue is that the ID you’ve entered for the captcha is not a domain listed at Google. https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/
