I needed to transfer a publicly accessible site to a LAN access only site for testing purposes. Except that the recaptcha keys did not work on the new domain (obviously). Thus I could not login to the newly restored site.
I zapped the new installation and started over. This time I disabled the recaptcha plugin before making the backup. But it’s any easy mistake to make.
I could not exclude plugins from the backup because they are essential to the integrity of the content.
Is it possible the transfer process could include a defaulted-to-on checkbox “Exclude captcha plugins so that new site can be accessed” or words to that effect.
Thanks for listening
