reCAPTCHA ERROR: Invalid domain for site key

Question

I have implemented my reCAPTCHA in line with as is shown in the example.

I have this script in the head tag:

<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js"></script>

In my form in HTML I have:

<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="my public sitekey here"></div>

But when I load the form I get this error:

ERROR: Invalid domain for site key

I have confirmed that this is the correct site key for my domain.

The code is currently in a subdomain so I thought maybe that was the problem so I also added the subdomain to the Google reCAPTCHA admin but still get the error.

The exact same code works 100% in a different domain (with a key specific to that domain).
What could be the problem?

Answer 1

You should set your domain for example: www.abi.wapka.mobi, that is if you are using a wapka site.

Note that if you had a domain with wapka it won't work, so compare wapka with your site provider and text it.

Answer 2

Make sure you fill in your domain name and it must not end with a path.

example

http://yourdomain.com (good)

http://yourdomain.com/folder (error)

Answer 3

I tried for almost 4 Hours with this and finally figuring it out with guidance from here, I thought I would share my solution with you.

Ok so my domain is an addon domain. I also got "ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key" I had checked that everything was correct almost a thousand times and it looked right to me, until I thought of it in terms of a desktop shortcut.

Solution:

So for an addon domain make sure that the parent url is also in the list of domains i.e: [ADDON DOMAIN].[PARENT DOMAIN].com . The addon location will be the folder that you set on your host so when using addon domains ensure to name the root with something logical.

Hope this helps someone else and thanks for the suggestions people.

Answer 4

I guess the quickest way is just to disable the domain check while you're developing it

Answer 5

For me, I had simply forgotten to enter the actual domain name in the "Key Settings" area where it says Domains (one per line).

Answer 6

I had the same problems I solved it. I went to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin and clicked on the domain and then went to key settings at the bottom.

There I disabled the the option below Domain Name Validation Verify the origin of reCAPTCHA solution

clicked on save and captcha started working.

I think this has to do with way the server is setup. I am on a shared hosting and just was transferred without notice from Liquidweb to Deluxehosting(as the former sold their share hosting to the latter) and have been having such problems with many issues. Here is think google is checking the server but it is identifying as shared server name and not my domain. When i uncheck the "verify origin" it starts working. Hope this helps solve the problem for the time being.
