done .....

Try to enable repatcha both in your comments and the plugin and let me know so I can check again in your page.

Could you provide a link to your comments page in order to check it out.

didnt work ...cleaned cache tried different computer , browsers.....

Not three. There is only one file that needs to be changed. That one is the recaptcha.php file.

saying if i replace the three recaptch files with updated ones it might work ?

You can try to update that file only. The changes are in the recaptcha paths for google. The only way it can go wrong is in the plugin. If you notice anything strange just disable it or undo your changes.

i am total novice and if you don't recommend i wouldn't even attempt it lol


i set my own site up over the years i learned and have a business site on joomla...cant afford to loose it as we all know takes weeks to recover from a disaster.....must be a simpler way to block spam on my blogs....

just frustrating with joomla with all there updates and versions ...

Either make a manual update (don't forget to take a backup first) to the latest joomla version or check the file under plugins/captcha/recaptcha of the 2.5.17 version to see the changes it contains in order to put them in your 2.5.9 version of the file.

This might not work properly though so I don't recommend it.

doesnt work :(

as in short term long term setting "update settings".....

Try to clean your site's cache and check again under the Joomla! Update.
You can also try switching back and forth the options in the joomla updater in order to get the latest 2.5.17.

my guess is i have to manually update because its saying no updates....

The latest Joomla! version is 2.5.17 and the latest K2 version is 2.6.7.

I think that in the latest version of Joomla! they have updated the recaptcha file under plugins/captcha/recaptcha which is used for the contact and registration forms and it contained false google links.

my admin back end says everything is up to date :(

yes users config. Plugin manager ......followed many many different configuration advise...

First of all you need to update both your K2 and Joomla versions to the latest.

Now, when you say you are using the Google recaptcha I believe you mean the one from Users Configuration, right?

Joomla! 2.5.9
K2 v2.6.2

its working on contact form but not showing up on blogs....
if i enable in comments it doesnt show but has error 'wrong input/something like that"

I am using Google recaptcha which worked with contact form.

Hello @vinny,

Do you see the reCaptcha or it doesn't appear at all on those pages?
Also what Joomla version do you use and do you have anywhere else the reCaptcha api loading from another plugin or extension that would conflict with the Joomla's default one?

hello same issue for months and currently leaving it off on blogs....I am weeding through spam manually "yes we all know frustrating" I tried all suggestions above over and over with no luck...

I think my issue was stated in this thread as it works on my contact form but not blogs....when i activate in blogs it doesn't show but gives error wrong entry...

therefore i believe its in conflict with contact sheet and blogs ....any info would be much appreciated been trying this for months...

You can use the contact form for this.
