I have a recaptcha that will not work for a specific site and I can't figure why. On my host it works fine, but when I test on an iPage host, it always returns false, even with a simple test form, it is always false.
I have tried re-doing keys. I even made the very basic of forms as you can see below, but always returns false. And no errors.

<form action="test-recaptcha.php" method="post">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="6LdXvCYTAAAAAOzMaqHb6lFZrIVnATbo7PxzvSfS"></div>
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" id="submit">

test-recaptcha.php
<?php
require_once "recaptchalib.php";
$secret = "<<SECRET>>";
$response = null;
$reCaptcha = new ReCaptcha($secret);
if ($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']) {
$response = $reCaptcha->verifyResponse(
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']
);
}
var_dump($response);
var_dump($_POST);
reponse:
{["success"]=> bool(false) ["errorCodes"]=> NULL }
The problem is with the default php.ini file that iPage uses.
'allow_url_fopen' is set to off by default, change this to on and everything should work fine.
To change this setting go to: cPanel > CGI and Scripted Language Support > PHP Scripting
