XF 1.5 reCAPTCHA not working?

[Okenyon]

Hey guys, my reCAPTCHA is not working and i'm not sure why or how to fix?

It just doesn't show/appear.

We have same problem since today!

 

[Okenyon]

Hmmmmm, anyone have any idea how to fix?

I presume you're not using 1.5.16? See the first note in the changelog here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-1-5-16a-released.137929/

I don't believe this was supposed to change until the end of March though, so it's possible it's a temporary glitch. However, I would recommend making sure you're running at least 1.5.16 to ensure that the CAPTCHA functions correctly in the future as well.

stopped working for us as well...and no..have not yet upgraded to 1.5.16.

I simply disabled the captcha requirement for registration until I could come up with a fix as it was essentially preventing anyone from registering at all.

How do you disable?

was part of the registration options in the control panel

It stopped working for me today as well. 1.5.12
I guess I'm not the only one.

Recaptcha v2 seems to work fine. I followed the link to google and signed up. Pretty painless.

Getting error: reCAPTCHA verification is loading. Please refresh the page if it does not load.

I can't even see what version I have, so what do I do now?

I can get into the DB via cPanel / phpMyAdmin / mySQL, etc
PM is cool if this is not appropriate for public explanation

PS: just verified - user & pass are correct from phpMyAdmin
~ I also gave the site trusted status in Ghostery & turned off Adblocker & tried Firefox = NFG

Incorrect password. Please try again.

BS: I just verified that in the DB!!!!!!! So angry...

So can I go into my cPanel & drill down to a folder & delete that to fix this issue?

 

[talk2troy]

Is an upgrade "do-able" via FTP to fix this?

I am not seeing instructions for a fix up above.

Download the latest version of XF, extract and upload the library\XenForo\Captcha directory.

That should then allow you to log in and you can then do a full upgrade.

Thx for the reply - waiting for DL access / confirmation in another thread.
