reCaptcha Validation

WAB45711 13d ago

Hi everyone,

I'm using ChronoForms 7 in a Joomla 3 installation and have integrated a form with Google reCaptcha (v2). The issue: The form can be submitted without interacting with the reCaptcha, which is resulting in a flood of spam messages.

I also tested the Security Image feature – same problem: The form can be submitted without entering the image code. Additionally, I’m unable to enable "Validation Required" for either field – the option doesn’t seem to be available.

Has anyone encountered this issue or know what could be causing it? Maybe there’s a setting in ChronoForms or Joomla that I’ve missed?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you enable the "Check Security Fields" behavior under the form "Settings" tab ?

v8 has an easier setup in regard to security fields

Yes – that was exactly the issue. Sometimes you just can't see the forest for the trees.

Thank you so much for pointing it out!
