Posted on July 4, 2021

Hi All, My site is showing an Invalid Re-captcha key on the Login page, so now i can’t log in on word press as I can’t meet the ‘i’m not a robot’ test.

Any suggestions how i can fix this? Thanks in advance! Craig

Hello, @sorechwebmaster

You can temporary disable the plugin if you have ssh access to the WordPress installation.

You can navigate to the wp-content/plugins folder and rename the re-captcha directory and this will disable the plugin and then you should be able to login into the WordPress admin area.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
