PLG_SYSTEM_RSFPRECAPTCHAV3_browser_error
The Error
Why am I seeing this error when using reCAPTCHA V3 for RSForm! Pro?
PLG_SYSTEM_RSFPRECAPTCHAV3_browser_error
This is actually caused by the fact that you are running Joomla! 3 and it's loading the MooTools library through mootools-core.js and mootools-more.js
The Solution
RSForm!Pro does not load MooTools, you will need to either:
- disable MooTools from being loaded on your page. MooTools is not an extension that you can uninstall - it's part of the Joomla! 3 code (framework) and can be loaded by other extensions on your website (eg. a component, a module, the template or a plugin). The Joomla! forum has some tips on how to prevent MooTools from being loaded either by using a 3rd party extension or by manually editing the Joomla! 3 source files.
- update to a more recent version of Joomla! (MooTools has been removed since Joomla! 4) - a full backup is firstly recommended
- switch to another captcha field:
The Side Note
This MooTools library already have issues with the Google Maps Javascript API so it's safe to say it's most likely the cause of this reCAPTCHA issue as well.
The "browser-error" string is not defined by the Google reCAPTCHA docs, you can read more about this here.
If you're using the reCAPTCHA V2 field, then you'll most likely see a spinning circle when trying to tick the 'I'm not a robot' checkbox and you'll need to follow one of the above solutions.
