TY so much I checked settings 100's of times :( newbie

i think this one made me brain dead.........TY so much for your patience and help !

You are all set.
The option you had to enable was in K2 Parameters under Comments tab, the Enable Anti-spam protection (the one I had already told you to look by the way).

Then go to the Comments tab and check that you have enabled the Anti-spam protection to Recaptcha.

sent

Provide me with access to your backend through our contact form here: getk2.org/contact-us to check it out.

Thanks.

versions are correct....why so many people say all those settings affect recaptcha? i been messing with them.......any links to what there suppose to be?

globel default....user manager options.....k2 layouts jquery's

thanks for your patience

What about those other settings? They have nothing to do with comments or recaptcha. Did you check the ones I mentioned? Do you have the keys added in the appropriate K2 setting?
Make sure that your K2 version is 2.6.7 now please.

wish it was that simple lol........what about all the other settings ....listed in my last post ...still not working

Just go to K2 Parameters and under Advanced tab -> Anti-Spam settings add the keys.
Then go to the Comments tab and check that you have enabled the Anti-spam protection to Recaptcha.

yes keys are correct as its working in contact form ....going over setting now which ones are correct as there is so many opinions .....jquery,? backend jquery? user manager? etc.....

Have you set up correctly the Recaptcha keys both in K2 settings and Captcha plugin?
I don't see at all the recaptcha in your comments page.

did a purge and all is updated now but still not working :(

There is nothing else I can think of but to update both your joomla and K2 version. Take a full site backup. If you have akeeba backup you can use it for this. Update your Joomla! version first and K2 afterwards. If you can't get the updater to do this job do it manually.
If you are not up to the task advise your site's developer.

no updates and yes to version

You don't get an update for K2 either under the Extension's Manager -> Update?
You do have K2 2.6.2, right?

just curious why wouldn't updates show like always?

def. cannot afford a crash :(

OK you need to update K2. Just go to the extensions manager and install the new package over the old one.
Make sure to take a full site backup first.

looks the same....

The path to the google recaptcha in the file is still the old one. Check if the file I have attached is the same with your own in plugins/captcha/recapthca/recaptcha.php

took the file from here
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=615&t=832820

didn't update K2 not an option in admin area backend......have to find info on that :( "newbie"

Did you update the recaptcha.php file with the one provided in the 2.5.17 joomla version?
Also, did you update your K2 with the latest version?
