 * Hi,
 * I did install the plugin
    I tried switching back now to recaptcha v2. I’ve copied
   the V2 key’s I got from Google into integration. I’ve tried it with switching
   the recaptcha version to default and to V2 I’ve added the `[recaptcha]` tag in
   the form. But I keep getting the same message that it has failed sending and 
   I should try again. When I take out the recaptcha tag there is no issue.
 * There isn’t a recaptcha showing in the form on the webite, can that be the issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fkeep-getting-error-sending-message%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * By the way, you need to click the button to get the form. If you look at the 
   source code you’ll see:[https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6LdwrBcUAAAAADBfVGCf8l34ttIoapO_A7QHSw30&ver=3.0](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6LdwrBcUAAAAADBfVGCf8l34ttIoapO_A7QHSw30&ver=3.0)
 * Do you notice the ver=3.0 at the end? Some how it seems like version 3 is still
   active. Do I need to switch it off somewhere?

 * I have stopped using contactform 7 and switched to wpforms for now, so the test
   will not work anymore since I’m deinstalling the plugins.

 * [@mrroy44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrroy44/) We apologize we couldn’t
   address your question sooner. The reason you’re seeing the `ver=3.0` is because
   whenever you create your reCaptcha API Keys via Google you need to specify for
   it to be reCaptcha Version 2 otherwise it will default to version 3. Once you’ve
   done that and followed the [installation instructions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcf7-recaptcha/#installation)
   the script should show `ver=2.0`, the reCaptcha should appear, and everything
   should work as expected.
 * Since it appears you’ve moved over to WPForms we wish you the best of luck and
   will mark this issue as resolved. Have a wonderful weekend!

 * I did specify version 2 in google. But like you say, since I’m using wpforms 
   now, this issue isn’t relevant anymore to me at this time. Thank you anyway for
   your reply. Have a nice weekend too.

 * Same thing happening here. I specified V2 in Google Admin console, copied the
   V2 api keys, set the pluggin to use V2 recaptcha and it’s still trying to get
   [https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6LfECUkUAAAAADuxo6gx-9V0xatKPvazklTRHvDQ&ver=3.0](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6LfECUkUAAAAADuxo6gx-9V0xatKPvazklTRHvDQ&ver=3.0)
 * The only solution is to disable recaptcha or move to another plugin 🙁
