PHP 8.4 fix: includes/classes/observers/google/ReCaptcha/ReCaptcha.php line 84
change to
public function __construct($secret, ?RequestMethod $requestMethod = null)
(question mark before class on 2nd parameter)

While a heads up is always appreciated, that was fixed months ago in the version I am maintaining on Github.

I have an issue with my site's contact us form page.

I have installed Google Captcha, and it all works fine apart from that on the main page i am unable to send any messages.
The error i get is Response not set.

I have no errors in my log file that relate to google captcha or contact us form.

The version of zencart that i am using is V1.5.8a and we have the bootstrap template.
PHP version is 7.4.33

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I am seeing this error come up in my ZenCart 2.2.2 install:

Update to fix PHP 8.4 issue just submitted to fix this log:

PHP Deprecated: ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha::__construct(): Implicitly marking parameter $requestMethod as nullable is deprecated, the explicit nullable type must be used instead in /home/twistedq/public_html/includes/classes/observers/google/ReCaptcha/ReCaptcha.php on line 58

So here are two Google reCAPTCHA plugins. One is zen cart forum edition. One is github edition from torvista. I'm currently using the github version and it worked fine. zencart 2.1.0, php 8.3

I just downloaded the forum edition v3.8 and it seems to be significantly different than torvista's version. The forum fix from v3.8 to v3.7 can also found in the github version.

\includes\classes\observers\google\ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha.php

from
public function __construct($secret, RequestMethod $requestMethod = null)
to
public function __construct($secret, ?RequestMethod $requestMethod = null)

This line can also be found in github version
