    I am having a serious issue. I installed the google recaptcha plugin and it applied something to my wpadmin login page and now I cannot get into my site i continue to get this error:

    Error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed. The response parameter is missing.

    I did find this, but I can’t login to the site.
    How to disable this plugin?
    Use standard WordPress Plugins page. In emergency case, rename plugin folder under /wp-content/plugins/ over FTP access.

    I logged in to the file manager, but it does not appear in my plugin folder, what else can i do

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @autire,

    I’m sorry, but you’ve wrong site key. You can repair it via database explorer – it’s not for beinner (table wp_options, option_name = sgr_site_key). Anyway rename plugin folder must works on 100% to deactivate this plugin. Maybe try to refresh folder list in FTP client. Path is really /wp-content/plugins/simple-google-recaptcha.

    Hi Minor
    it would have been great if you could catch and display the “wrong site key type” when the “response parameter” error happens. It would have saved me a trip to your user forum ??

    A couple of other plugins do that, but otherwise they are inferior.

    Oh, also, the labelling on the settings panel for the site key & secret could be more explicit, i.e. v2 recaptcha or v3 recaptcha key. Just to stop dummmies like me getting confused.

    Even I am having this same issue.
    I am trying to login to my wordpress panel but when I enter my login credentials and hit enter, I get “Error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed. The response parameter is missing.” This is happening only in Chrome. I checked it on Interest Explorer and even in my android phone and the panel opens just fine.

    What can I do?

    Hi @bhaveen,

    This topic was closed, open new one next time, please.

    There could be a several reasons. If you open webmaster console, do you see notice “SGR_3/2 loaded!”? Any error in the console log? What’s your website url?

    Renaming the plugin folder works like a charm!
