reCaptcha validation over https - mixed content error

dieda12 31 Mar, 2017
Hi,

When turning on the https over my site, the reCaptcha stops working and the attached error appear inside the console. I tried changing the validation server url both to "https://www.google.com" and "//www.google.com" but it seems this does not affect the called url.
The reCaptcha Joomla! plugin seems set correctly to me (and it works if I turn off https).

What do I have to change to set the call to https instead of http ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Elena,

The "Load recaptcha" action has a setting for specifying the "secure server url", did you change that ? it should be set to an https link, and there is also a setting to choose if you want to load the image using the SSL server, taht should be enabled.

Best regards,
Max

Hi Max, you suggestion pointed me to the right direction! I've had the secure server set correctly but was keeping the api server without https.

In the end I have everything working with the following setup:

Load Recaptcha: https in BOTH url ("api server" and "api secure server") and SSL select set to YES.
Check Recaptcha: "verify server" simply www.google.com with no protocol inside.

Thanks for the assistance

Elena
