Form not displaying after removing recaptcha hook [SOLVED]

I have a form with the following Formit call in it:

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`spam,email,redirect`
&emailTpl=`EmailBooking`
&emailTo=`[email protected]`
&emailSubject=`bla bla bla`
&redirectTo=`1`
&smtpEnabled=`1`
&smtpAuth=`1`
&smtpHost=`smtp.gmail.com`
&smtpUsername=`[email protected]`
&smtpPassword=`mypassword`
&smtpPort=`465`
&smtpPrefix=`tls`
]]

I have removed the recaptcha hook from the above call and now the page with the form will not load anymore.

When I remove the Formit call, the page with form displays correctly....

Are there any reCaptcha-related tags in your page or any Tpl chunks? They should be removed.

Nope, none...

I’m baffled

I noticed though that with the recaptcha, the error "recaptcha wasn’t entered correctly" appears immediately upon the first display of the form, e.g. without a prior submit of the form....

Did you clear the site cache and your browser cache/cookies?

Yes, cleared cache from manager menu and cleared browser data.

To no avail....

This probably won’t work, but try deleting all the files in the core/cache/ directory, except index.php.

There’s no index.php... there is an index.html...

Cleared the core/cache directory but no change....

Funny thing: I reinstated the recaptcha and no matter what it rejects my answers even though I’m 99.999% sure I entered the correct words.

I also tried to reinstall the package but that did not help either.

What’s left to try?????

Hello

I have a form with the following Formit call in it:
// Formit call

First I assume that your Formit call is not in the form but before it...

I guess you should remove the SMTP parameters :

&smtpEnabled=`1`
&smtpAuth=`1`
&smtpHost=`smtp.gmail.com`
&smtpUsername=`[email protected]`
&smtpPassword=`mypassword`
&smtpPort=`465`
&smtpPrefix=`tls`

These settings are hold by the System Settings, and do not have to be added as parameters (read somewhere on the forum, or on github, or in the doc, not sure where but pretty sure I read it)... Maybe the doc on rtfm is not up to date on this point...

Not sure it will solve your issue but it can be a way to explore...
Cheers

Hi,

Yes, the Formit call is before anything else.

The SMTP stuff I copied from an example somewhere.

Removing it did not solve the problem...

Thanks for the suggestion though.
