Title: Error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed. Do you have JavaScript enabled? Last modified: March 27, 2022 --- # Error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed. Do you have JavaScript enabled? * Resolved [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/) * Recaptcha worked fine on WP Forms to validate a contact request however after exiting, the admin is unable to login to wp-admin. User name and password accepted, but “Error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed. Do you have JavaScript enabled?” is returned. JS is enabled on each of the browsers. * Recreated same problem on secondary site. Was able to gain access to the control panel and delete the simple google recaptcha folder and able to login. * Would like to use the recaptcha to eliminate junk contact request but need to access wp-admin to modify site. * WP ver 5.9.2 WP Forms Lite Ver 1.7.3 Theme Twenty Seventeen Ver 2.9 Google recaptcha Ver 3.9 Php Ver 7.3.2 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [brandonjameswessels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brandonjameswessels/) * (@brandonjameswessels) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15500671) * Same issue here, following. * Plugin Author [Minor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/minor/) * (@minor) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15507021) * Hi [@bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) and [@brandonjameswessels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brandonjameswessels/), * Probably you have entered wrong keys. You should see emergency reCAPTCHA deactivation link – no need to use some kind of “control panel” or FTP. * Thread Starter [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15507886) * The keys appear to be good. The reCaptcha still works as registered on the site. You cannot login to modify the site because you still get the error message. * Thread Starter [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15508362) * try [https://100menwhocareconcord.com/contact-2/](https://100menwhocareconcord.com/contact-2/) to see the keys appear correctly because the recaptcha works. * Thread Starter [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15508374) * Where do you find the “emergency reCAPTCHA deactivation link”? I do not see it on the google/recaptcha/admin page?? * [jondaley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jondaley/) * (@jondaley) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15516508) * [@bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/), looks like you fixed it, as I just submitted a message through that form? * How did you fix it, or maybe it was a caching issue, so either it works for me because I’ve never been to your site before, or else the caching period expired? - This reply was modified 4 years, 1 month ago by [jondaley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jondaley/).

[@minor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/minor/) mentioned the keys may be entered incorrectly. The form is working but I cannot manage the site. With Google ReCaptcha enabled, you cannot gain access to wp- admin to edit the site. The error occurs when you try to login to the site. * [jondaley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jondaley/) * (@jondaley) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15517086) * Ah, I now see that the form isn’t showing on the login page. Maybe the contact form is using a different recaptcha plugin? Looks like you are having a different problem than me anyway, good luck! * Thread Starter [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15517155) * reCaptcha badge does not appear on wp-admin login form. * Thread Starter [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15519894) * After removing the domain from the simple-google-recaptcha dashboard, the emergency deactivate button is shown on the wp-admin login?? ReCaptcha is deactivated. Perhaps this version of recaptcha does not work well with twenty-seventeen theme. * Thread Starter [bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/) * (@bruces4gt) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15519912) * The root of the problem appears that by selecting recaptcha on the “login” page, the recaptcha badge will not appear in the 2017 theme when attempting to access wp-admin. Nor does the emergency deactivate so you have little chance of logging in to sort out the issue or to disable the plugin. In turn, you have to access the c-panel or ftp to delete/rename the plugin. For some reason, when I removed the domain from the google control panel, the emergency deactivate feature was displayed on the login page. Ahh – great. I deactivated it, went to the recaptcha set up screen and deselected the feature on the login page. I re-added the domain on the google control panel and reentered the keys and it is working fine. If this runs ok for a few days, I will add it back to the major domain. * Plugin Author [Minor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/minor/) * (@minor) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-recaptcha-verification-failed-do-you-have-javascript-enabled-3/#post-15525361) * Hi [@bruces4gt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bruces4gt/), * Thanks for the information.
