recaptchaAround the same time the Joomla 2.5.16 / 3.2 update came out ReCaptcha stopped working.

 While it might seem the update caused the problem, it was Google's change of url that did it.

http://api.recaptcha.net is now http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api

This problem will probably be addressed in Joomla 2.5.17 / 3.2.1

To fix manually:

In plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php line 24

replace
const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://api.recaptcha.net";

with
const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";

or use the link below to download a repaired version of the plugin from third party site seepeoplesoftware.com

Download a fixed version of the Recaptcha Plugin for Joomla 2.5.16 / 3.2

Install using the Extensions Manager (no need to uninstall first)
