g-recaptcha-response is ALWAYS EMPTY

[Edward Seaman]

I'm automatically rendering widget.

I have a site key registered. When I solve the captcha I get back a textarea with id=g-recaptcha-response,  but it's always empty...

What am I missing?

I have the same problem. The form value "g-recaptcha-response" never gets set and I don't have a clue why.

Found a workaround, see if this helps for you too:

1. Add a tiny JavaScript callback function e.g. onHuman()
2. Add a parameter "data-callback" to the ReCAPTCHA div tag
3. Add a hidden form element used to hold the response string (use a different id/name, e.g. "captcha")
   

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
  function onHuman(response) {
    document.getElementById('captcha').value = response;
  }
</SCRIPT>
<DIV class="g-recaptcha" data-callback="onHuman" data-sitekey="#### your site key goes here ####"></DIV>
<INPUT type="hidden" id="captcha" name="captcha" value="">

Now you can ignore the empty "g-recaptcha-response" and check for "captcha" instead.

Same issue today, g-recaptcha-response created but not populated

Andreas Lund workaround was my savior !
