Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I access my website over SSL, Google Recaptcha doesn’t load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I access the javascript error console<\/a>, I see the following error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocked loading mixed active content
“https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api\/challenge?k=KEY-GOES-HERE” [Learn More]\n\n\n\n

What causes this problem?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will see the Blocked loading mixed active content<\/em> error when accessing your website over https (ssl)<\/span> but calling Google’s recaptcha using http (no ssl)<\/span>. Your browser is blocking the insecure content which is trying to load over http (no ssl)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The solution to this problem is to use SSL when calling the recaptcha_get_html<\/code> function to create your recaptcha form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look at around line 106 of recaptcha-php-1.11\/recaptchalib.php, you’ll see the function has an optional ssl parameter<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 function recaptcha_get_html ($pubkey, $error = null, $use_ssl = false<\/span>)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Changing your code from the red example<\/span> below to the green example<\/span> below should fix this error for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 $recaptcha = recaptcha_get_html($publickey);<\/span> $recaptcha = recaptcha_get_html($publickey,'',true);<\/span><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
