 * I was adding a contact for to a website I am building, however when I added captcha(
   v3) I got an error message just above the submit button:
   “ERROR for site owner:
   Invalid key type”Now I had a similar problem previously and I was advised to 
   regenerate the captcha keys, on that occasion this worked, however, I have tried
   that twice now with no success.
 * What can I do
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcaptcha-error-17%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello Amjad,
 * By that time I had found the fault, i did a stupid thing or at least forgot to
   do the right
   thing, under settings where you can choose reCaptcha V2 or V3, I
   forgot to select V3,the settings option defaults to V2.
 * Thank you for responding, hopefully others won’t make the same mistake
