 * I added all the keys. They work for another application on same domain. Any ideas?

 * What other application or plugin are you using?
 * It could be that the other plugin is already loading the reCAPTCHA class, but
   an older version. That way our version won’t work.
    Did you get an error or warning
   on the settings page?
 * Maybe we can figure it out. But it could also be that it won’t work in your setup.
   Then the Custom anti-spam question might suit you better. I think that is a better
   option anyway :).

 * Recaptcha is working for login-page, user registration and contact form 7. The
   plugin is called “Advanced noCaptcha reCaptcha” which integrates with the contact
   form 7 plugin.
 * But Gwolle recaptcha don’t work, even if I disable contact form 7 and its recaptcha
   addon.

 * Hi, can you try the version from [http://timelord.nl/tmp/](http://timelord.nl/tmp/)?
 * On my testinstall I see messages like:
 *     ```
       reCAPTCHA is enabled in Settings.
       reCAPTCHA keys are set.
       reCAPTCHA class does not exist yet, loading from this plugin.
       reCAPTCHA classes do exist, continue using them.
       return from reCAPTCHA: ReCaptchaResponse Object ( [success] => 1 [errorCodes] => )
       ```
   
 * Can you tell me what you see after submitting a message with reCAPTCHA enabled?

 * Ah, so for the plugin everything works correctly. But reCAPTCHA itself doesn’t
   return a success.
    I am not sure how to debug this futcher, unless I start digging
   inside reCAPTCHA itself.
 * On Github I see a new version. I will integrate it and get back to you. It might
   fix this issue. You are not the first with no “success”.

 * Okay great, thanks for your efforts. I can say that the “Advanced noCaptcha reCaptcha”-
   plugin works, maybe they use a newer version of the class.
