Google ReCaptcha Verification Popup
Edze de Boer
Hi guys,
Everytime when I go to the Contact page, this Google reCaptcha thing pops up. To make it disappear, I have to click randomly on the page. Visitors will not understand this.
Anyway, this should be a hidden reCaptcha. Visitors don't have to check a " I'm not a robot" field. So why is this thing appearing in the first place?

Accepted AnswerHi Edze,
Indeed this is Recapatcha v2 Hidden version.
Otherwise you would have Recaptcha box inside the Contact form.
Sorry, but thsi time it's question to Google why sometimes it shows and sometimes is not! We only used ready code, but the popup window is from the Google algorithm.

Accepted Answerbtw
I was able to send message, and I didn't see any extra window from Google to veryfi if I am human or not.
Sorry, for stupid message, I was testing. and I was logged to Google account, so I am OK in eyes of Google.
I'm not sure if I can help somehow. You can always use old classic Recaptcha or put question 8:4=2

Accepted AnswerHo Paul,
You were pointing to the small reCaptcha icon in the bottom right corner. That one doesn't bother me...
Did you take a look at this picture: ? https://www.screencast.com/t/1xvruGK9
Even when I should use the standard reCaptcha box, this large one should only appear when I try to send the Contact form. Now that I am using the invisible reCaptcha, this should not appear at all.
I will change it back into the default reCaptcha on Monday and then see what happens.
Kind regards, Edze de Boer

Accepted AnswerNow that I am using the invisible reCaptcha, this should not appear at all.
Are you 100% sure, talked with Google support?, becuase during my expirence I know that Google is using it for invisible reCaptcha as well if tester script is not sure about the user.
Did you take a look at this picture:
I couldn't, becuase on your site, I was able to send message without. I just put my text, and clicked sent.
I will change it back into the default reCaptcha on Monday and then see what happens.
OK, but it may show you human validator script anyway.

Accepted AnswerHello, we are facing the same issue. I only activate invisible reCaptcha, but sometimes the picture popup appears, asking to select some items. Has this issue being resolved in the meantime? thanks Stefan

Accepted AnswerHi Stefan,
My client doesn't use that website anymore, so I can't reproduce that error.
In Google reCaptcha ( https://www.google.com/recaptcha ), menu item v3 Admin Console, for a new website I now always use the choice: reCAPTCHA type Challenge (v2) Invisible reCAPTCHA badge
In Joomla's Extensions - Plugins I choose CAPTCHA - Invisible reCAPTCHA, I enter the Keys and I enable it before Save & Close.
Then, in Joomla's Global Configuration - Site Settings I choose Default Captcha: CAPTCHA - Invisible reCAPTCHA
For the Contact Forms, I use Component RSForm! Pro by RS Joomla. https://www.rsjoomla.com/joomla-extensions/joomla-form.html
