Issues with Recaptcha

Google reCaptcha v3 is invisible and it analyses the traffic on your site (like Google Analytics) to determine and learn what is spam and what is not. Google has stopped using the visible reCaptcha widget on pages in v3.

Basically, there is no user interaction with reCaptcha on any form that uses v3.

If you still want v2 and the visible widget, then use Fix #2 at this post;

See the message from @linux4me2, he made some very good suggestions if that is what you are dealing with.

No, it works perfect it just isn’t showing the recaptcha. I was concerned it wasn’t working but you validated that Google stopped using visible recaptcha.

Yea, me too. I prefer the visible widget, because that deters a lot of manual entries by hackers and spammers. The visible widget provides a manner of confirmation for us that it is working.

Thanks ??

We supressed the visible widget here (using some additional CSS) https://therealdeal.com/miami/rate-card-request/ and then added the Google privacy/terms notification beneath the submit button. This follows/complies with their guidelines.

Here is the code for the suppression:

.grecaptcha-badge {
display:none;
}

Here is the HTML for the message we put into the form:
