I am having this weird issue where recaptcha is failing and the system message saying the form has been successfully submitted. In this case I am trying to get recaptcha to fail, but the email are still being sent. The forms were set up using the easy builder mode. Joomla 3.9.11 and PHP 7.3.0.

How can I turn of Automatic validation enabled. in the easy mode?

Just switch to advanced mode

Same problem in advanced mode.

Hi efh68,
​
Did you turn off Automatic Validation after switching to Advanced Mode?
​
Bob

Is that the "Check Security Fields" toggle switch? By fault it was off. I tried with on and off, the problem would not go away either way.

Hi efh68,
​
I believe that switch turns the Captcha check on and off. You want the one above it: Enable Server Validations - Fields with validation rules will be auto validated.
​
Bob

That was off by default as well. I toggled it on and off for testing and got the same results.

Do you actually have the recaptcha view on the front end?

Yes, http://bsa-brmc.org/index.php/test-form

And have you got something in the "fail" event to make it go back if it fails?

Yes I have a "Check Google Recaptcha" with the security key in it's settings and an event loop in the fail section of that. I had the email block under the "Check Google Recaptcha" instead of in the "Success". That fixed the problem. Someday I hope to be able to figure this all out. Sorry for wasting your time.

You shouldn't have to put it in success, having an event load in the fail action should be enough. What does your event load look like

Thank You!
