 * I can’t get the recaptcha to show up. I disabled the comment form in Jetpack,
   but now all I get is the message “invalid referer” where the recaptcha should
   be on the Contact Form. The rest of the form looks fine and I am able to send/
   receive messages without problem. What could the problem be?

 * Are you testing from the same domain that you registered with Google recaptcha?

 * Yes, I am. I’ve tried re-setting the recaptcha keys and everything and that doesn’t
   seem to work, either. It’s a new website so I have a “Coming Soon” page up, but
   i disabled that and tested the Contact-Me page and it still didn’t display the
   recaptcha.

 * As far as I know that error only occurs when the domains don’t match.
    Can you
   give me a url?

 * I figured it out! My site address was still being listed with the IP address,
   rather than my domain. I changed it in the WordPress settings and now everything
   is working as it should.
 * Thanks for your help!
