    I have received reports from new users that when they try to register as a new user on the site, after they have passed the reCaptcha photo quiz and submit their form, they receive this error message: “reCAPTCHA failed. (Unknown error.) Please try again”

    This issue seem to start appearing on version 1.8.9.
    What is the solution to solve this issue please? I have searched everywhere but did not find anyone who had a solution to this.

  • This is generally a case where you need to follow up with your host to have “allow_url_fopen” enabled per Jessica’s post.

    Also, we do recommend not requiring recaptcha for paid levels (credit cards are good at keeping out spammers), but you would still need to enable fopen on the host to get recaptcha working.

    hope this helps

    Thanks Pete, that worked perfectly for me. I had switched hosting providers and the new one didn’t have allow_url_fopen on by default. Adding allow_url_fopen = On to php.ini worked for my host, and for my local site on XXAMP, I had to add this extension to php.ini: extension=php_openssl.dll

    I have the same problem, but in my php.ini I have allow_url_fopen = On…
