Also, try to deactivate then activate it again.

Please don't ask off-topic questions. You can open another topic with proper title.

And how to make that after registration and confirmation via e-mail the link led to the forum and not to the user's profile?

Just to make it clear one more time: The issue will NOT appear when every option is set to ON, when the reCAPTCHA credentials have been added, and I save the changes?

After that, I can set the options for WP logins (for example) to OFF and will still work, and not give me the reCAPTCHA error message again when I login as admin??

Sorry but I like to have answers as clear as that. Fuzzy proof. Avoids to ask again and again 10 more times ;)

You'll not have any issue. in addition, we'll improve this in next release to avoid any kind of problems.

This is what I do now, so I can keep reCAPTCHA. But login to the backend only works by login to the forum, and then go to the wp-admin.

Easy workaround, but not the solution.

"Google reCAPTCHA data are not submitted" when I want to login as admin, but no reCAPTCHA shown.

I am not sure if there is anything else on my site using reCAPTCHA, but I tend to believe not. 

Googling for this issue reveals that wpforo is pretty much the only plugin what causes these reCAPTCHA issue. Therefore, it is unfair to pretend it the problem is related to another plugin. But this seems to be common sense for WP programmer. It's never the own product, it's always someone else's.

I am not having Akismet installed. But I will delete my reCAPTCHA keys now. Too sad.

It works fine on all our test websites.

 I recommend enable reCAPTCHA on all forms. This should work.

Yes, it works but I do no want to log in to my site with captcha.

I may include it on live sites, but on test sites I prefer to enter name and pass.

So, this is a bypass solution.

We'll re-check and optimize reCAPTCHA in next version to avoid such cases.

Thank you.

It does work and we've never faced with this issue. I recommend enable reCAPTCHA on all forms. This should work.
