Failed to connect Google reCaptcha v3 (invisible) with Joomla! 5 on contact form module

Asked by Allen Wu 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

2023/12/27 Update:
In short after 3 weeks back and forth,
SP Page Builder Pro has hardcoded suppport for Joomla core reCAPTCHA plugin (invisible reCaptcha v2) and you may have to install that plugin module from Joomla! 4.4 if you install Joomla!5 directly.

we have checked articles below and currently use SP page builder 5 along with Joomla! 5. However, we still not able to successfully use reCaptcha v3 (invisible) on our contact form module. https://www.joomshaper.com/blog/google-recaptcha-joomla-contact-forms-integration

https://www.joomshaper.com/blog/sp-page-builder-gets-brand-new-table-addon-and-invisible-recaptcha-in-v3-5-pro

It will be nice to know how to do or if it is a known issue.
The reCaptcha plugin we used: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/access-a-security/recaptcha-v3/

Sadly, there no offcial info/tip from Joomla Team.

But there is a way to get it done:

  1. Download: Joomla_4.4.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip
  2. Unzip/Extract this folder:
    plugins\captcha\recaptcha_invisible

and those two lang files: administrator\language\en-GB\plg_captcha_recaptcha_invisible.ini and administrator\language\en-GB\plg_captcha_recaptcha_invisible.sys.ini

  1. Using FTP upload them inside your Joomla 5 website (website server) keep that same folder struture like it was in orginal J4.4
  2. Login to Joomla 5 Admin area
  3. System Dashboard > Discover > click "Discover" and install Recaptcha invisible plugin
  4. Then you can find & edit it from Plugin manager , you know...

Hi Toufiq,

We have reached out to the plugin provider and his/her response is in the link below:
https://github.com/SharkyKZ/joomla-recaptcha-v3-plugin/issues/1#issuecomment-1855260619

"SP Page Builder Pro does not support this or any 3rd party captcha plugin. It has hardcoded support for the two Joomla core plugins (reCAPTCHA and Invisible reCAPTCHA) both of which have been removed from Joomla 5.0."

Do correct me if it is wrong, so it seems for now SP Page Builder Pro doesnt support Joomla 5.0 to enable reCAPTCHA.

I have checked our contact form with Joomla 5 invisible re-captcha & it works fine. You need to contact your extension provider.

Possible to show and let us know how you let it work?
We only use that extension because it seems to be required to do so.

Will you please provide me the Joomla administrator access to check the issue?

Hi Toufiq, may you send your desired id and password to my email for us to enable for access?

Hi Toufiq, due to our direct installations of Joomla 5, we may need to use plugin for Google_reCAPTCHA, do you have any suggestions on this?
We found this official statement in the link below:
https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_4.4.x_to_5.x_Planning_and_Upgrade_Step_by_Step#Google_reCAPTCHA
Looking forward to your response.

Yes we have found and seen that statement before your screenshot.

As it said J5 required 3rd party plugin and the only available plugin provider already found the root cause: "SP Page Builder Pro does not support this or any 3rd party captcha plugin. It has hardcoded support for the two Joomla core plugins (reCAPTCHA and Invisible reCAPTCHA) both of which have been removed from Joomla 5.0."
https://github.com/SharkyKZ/joomla-recaptcha-v3-plugin/issues/1#issuecomment-1855260619

Please let us know what we can do, Toufiq, or try to reflect this issue to your backend product team. Thanks!

At this sitiuation you should continue with the Invisible reCAPTCHA. Page builder form builder supports Invisible reCAPTCHA. Thanks

Invisible reCAPTCHA v2 - can still work in Joomla 5.0 tested.

info_2026_2023.jpg

If somehow was removed from your Joomla 5 installation, still can be reinstalled.
