 * Hi,
    I setup the Site Key and Secret Key in the Settings page (and “Save Changes”),
   but when I try to add the reCaptcha Field in my form, this message is showing
   up:
 * “Site key and Secret key
    You need to set Site key and Secret key in Settings
   in order to use “Recaptcha” field. Click here to get the these key.”
 * What’s wrong?

 * Hi [@maw1146](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maw1146/),
 * Happy to help here!
 * It seems like you’ve already done these steps – but just to confirm, can you 
   review these and let me know if this is what you did prior?
 * 1. [Log in here](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html) using your Google
   Account .
 * 2. It should immediately take you to the admin page. If not, [click here](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/site/351919139).
 * 3. Now fill up the form with a name and your domain name. Please remember, you
   do not need to register your sub domain. The registration for the parent domain
   will work for the subdomains as well. That means you do not need to make separate
   entries for docs.mysite.com, demo.wmysite.com etc. Just creating a key for mysite.
   com will work for all the subdomains.
 * 4. You will have the public and private keys right after submitting the form.
 * 5. If you are not logged in to your site’s admin panel, please log in.
 * 6. Navigate to weForms → Settings and on the right side, you will find two fields
   to paste the private and public keys.
 * 7. Paste the keys and click on Save Changes and you are done with the configuration.
 * Once you have confirmed the above, we can go onto other troubleshooting steps.

 * [@wvsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wvsupport/) Thanks for the great
   support but please lose the signature. That’s prohibited in these forums as it’s
   been horribly abused in the past by others.
 * Yes, bad people ruin it for others. No, I am not kidding. Please refrain from
   that going forward.
