After reading Custom Form instructions outlined on https:\/\/support.bestwebsoft.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/202352499, I entered the plugin output code onto my theme contact form. <\/p>\n
ReCaptcha is displayed on the form page, but the validation does not kick in.<\/p>\n
The theme contact form has its own form validation (contact-form-handlers.php) – I added the entered data checking code onto the file, but it is still not validating the entry.<\/p>\n
Below is the original validation function from the file:<\/p>\n
\/*
\n\t\t\t * Verify Recaptcha
\n\t\t\t *\/
\n\t\t\t$show_reCAPTCHA = get_option( ‘theme_show_reCAPTCHA’ );
\n\t\t\t$reCAPTCHA_public_key = get_option( ‘theme_recaptcha_public_key’ );
\n\t\t\t$reCAPTCHA_private_key = get_option( ‘theme_recaptcha_private_key’ );<\/p>\n
\t\t\tif ( ! empty( $reCAPTCHA_public_key ) && ! empty( $reCAPTCHA_private_key ) && $show_reCAPTCHA == ‘true’ ) {
\n\t\t\t\t\/* Include recaptcha library *\/
\n\t\t\t\trequire_once( get_template_directory() . ‘\/recaptcha\/recaptchalib.php’ );
\n\t\t\t\t$resp = recaptcha_check_answer( $reCAPTCHA_private_key,
\n\t\t\t\t\t$_SERVER[ “REMOTE_ADDR” ],
\n\t\t\t\t\t$_POST[ “recaptcha_challenge_field” ],
\n\t\t\t\t\t$_POST[ “recaptcha_response_field” ] );<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\tif ( ! $resp->is_valid ) {
\n\t\t\t\t\t\/* What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly *\/
\n\t\t\t\t\techo json_encode( array(
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t‘success’ => false,
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t‘message’ => __( ‘The reCAPTCHA is not correct. Please try again.’, ‘framework’ )
\n\t\t\t\t\t) );
\n\t\t\t\t\tdie;
\n\t\t\t\t}
