CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, a client recently pointed out a error on a contact us form on their site. When the form is submitted this warning gets displayed and the form does not get submitted:
I do not understand what the problem could be.

Any ideas?

It helps if you tell/show what versions of what you are using, it seems like you may need to go to the recaptcha home page to get new keys to use it...

Thanks, I deleted my google recaptcha key and re-created it, changed the site key and secret keys in CMSM and it has worked.

I wonder why it stopped working. Might Google have changed something?

Sorry about not posting the version details:

Maybe because it uses the newest recaptcha API...

Yeah, as DrCSS suggested, the module has been updated to use the new reCaptcha API (which is less annoying to users, has improved useability and apparently is more effective against bots). It is mentioned on the changelog, on the help page of the module and on the forge, that one is not compatible with the other, needing new authentication keys. The old API is still supported by Google, but it is recommended to use the new one.

Thanks, but I'm still not quite understanding what happened. I didn't change anything on my site, so I guess it is that Google updated things?

Sorry for being slow on the uptake here.

Someone must have upgraded Captcha to version 0.5.2. Assuming that you had previously version 0.5 or older, which were compatible with reCaptcha API 1.x, the moment you upgraded the module to 0.5.2 the reCaptcha library stopped working since the interface with the Google reCaptcha API is different for each version. You should have upgraded and generated new keys (these now for API 2.0) immediately after.

If it wasn't you who did the upgrade, someone did...

OK, thanks. Maybe I upgraded it some time ago and forgot and nobody noticed it broke anything until now.
