Local & Staging Testing
If you want to test this extension on a local server without an official domain or IP:- Recommended: Create a free Friendly Captcha account and generate a separate development Sitekey/Secret Key for local/staging use.
- Do not reuse your production key on a local server. Friendly Captcha production credentials are tied to specific domains registered in your account, so a mismatched domain will cause verification to fail.
- Use your development key for local/staging testing and your production key for the live domain.
- To whitelist a development or staging domain, contact our support center: https://t3planet.de/support
