Solved: Google reCaptcha v2 not working
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2019 8:29 pm
I have just solved a frustrating issue using a new CMSMS installation, CGBetterForms and Captcha.
When my form was submitted it would report:
"Sorry, incorrect captcha value"
After much Googling, I found the root cause to be a PHP.ini setting.
The PHP.ini setting "allow_url_fopen" must be enabled. I can consistently replicate the issue and solve the issue by toggling this setting.
This site is hosted on a Google Cloud server with WHM/cPanel. By default this value was NOT enabled.
Hopefully this helps the next person that encounters this issue in the context of CMSMS.
