 * I love that you implemented reCAPTCHA, but I’d like to report a bug I found:
 * I filled the “Public Key” field in the plugin settings with my actual public 
   key, but reCAPTCHA isn’t working.
    If I check my html code, i notice this:
 * `<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="6LcD3-4SAAAAAD2UfHrxo8NXhQ9lTlpOVKnGIPVy"
   ></div>`
    the data-sitekey is not the one I filled in the plugin settings.
 * Can’t tell if this is due to a plugin bug or maybe a conflict with something 
   else, but the only reCAPTCHA public key code I have is another one!

 * It looks like a conflict with another plugin or maybe the theme. I would try 
   doing some basic troubleshooting to determine which, if any, may be causing the
   issue.

 * I tried deactivating all the plugins and change theme trying to help you to figure
   out where the conflict is created but I still have this issue.
    The key in the
   html code is still completely different from the one I type in the “public key”
   field.

 * I would try updating the recaptcha setting with the correct key. Who knows there
   may have been an error when it was entered. If that doesn’t work, you could think
   about restoring all plugin options and then trying again. And even better set
   up a default installation of WordPress, only install USP, and then try again 
   using the default theme. Basically it’s just a matter of troubleshooting until
   the source of the conflict is found.

 * Hello, same problem here, I get this error on the recaptcha
 * ERROR for site owner:
    Invalid domain for site key
 * But I use the same keys on fastsecure Recaptcha for my comment forms, so I am
   sure that keys are good.

 * Do you have a URL where the form is located, so I can take a look? If you want
   to send it privately, use my [contact form](https://perishablepress.com/contact/).
   Thank you.

 * The same issue was here.
 * The site key is coded directly in submission-form.php
 * You need edit this file, change the key to yours and it will work.

 * Sorry, actually I changed again to standard question Captcha as it seems that
   even with a simple question to which everybody can reply, spam does not go through.
   
   Anybody has been spammed with question captcha ? Maybe on high traffic websites?
 * Anyway this plugin is so good, thank you !
