Hello, my GF Recaptcha is giving an error. It says _ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key_

I have done some research but can’t find any advice on how to fix this issue. I just ensured that my GF forms plug in is updated to the most recent version. Otherwise, i’m not sure where to start.

Thank you for the help!

The error indicates that the reCAPTCHA service doesn’t recognize the reCAPTCHA keys you have configured for the site as valid.

You will want to ensure the site domain is added to the key “Domains” setting. Be sure to add just the domain without the prefix ( e.g., [yourdomain.com](http://yourdomain.com) ).

If the issue persists, I recommend you create a new pair of reCAPTCHA keys for your site at [https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/)

Thanks Chris! I will ask our website developer to look into that further.
