Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

Thanks, jeking!

Does it matter where I stick that line ( <?php echo recaptcha_get_html(); ?> )? Just anywhere in the file will work?

Function wise, no. But that is where the captcha check box will display on the page. This is most often put near the submit button.

Hello,

I seem to be having a similar problem as Jaxx, except an account can be created without verifying the CAPTCHA. Running v1.5.5e and CAPTCHA works perfectly on the Contact Us page, but if the CAPTCHA is not clicked on Create Account page, an account can still be created. Minimum values are being checked/verified if not properly filled out. All files were uploaded according to the instructions, as well as the 1.5.5 instructions even though I am using a custom template. The only changes made to my template affecting this page would be button images. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there,

Currently I'm running ZenCart v1.5.5e and have the CAPTCHA working for the 'Contact Us' page, but when a user is on the 'Create Account' page, if the user does not click the "I am not a robot" checkbox, they will be returned to the account creation page with no error displayed. The user will not have their account created if they do not have the checkbox ticked though. Strangely, the 'Contact Us' page is working perfectly and correctly displays a "Please verify that you are not a robot" error.


I copied over the required files for all versions, but since we are using a custom template, I only used the installation steps for 1.5.4. If you have any tips to get it working that would be much appreciated.

You said you're using a custom template so check the template override files. It's likely one of them is the cause of the problem.

I have determined the culprit override template file to be the includes/modules/custom/create_account.php file which was created from the COWOA plugin. Has anyone had this issue, or might know what it is about this file that is bypassing the reCAPTCHA on the create account page?

If you want to post that file, I'll take a look.

create_account.zip

I had to zip the php file so it would attach. Thank you very much!

That file is from COWOA 2.4. If you're using Zen Cart 1.5.5, you should be using COWOA 2.7. Start by updating COWOA to 2.7....this file is changed in the new version. That may fix the problem all by itself.

Forgive me, I cannot seem to find COWOA 2.7. The latest I see is COWOA 2.4?

Thank you! Replacing that file with this new one seemed to do the trick!
