Why does Google ReCaptcha not prevent the submission of the form?

Question

I use django-nocaptcha-recaptcha and followed the exact steps in the documantation: https://github.com/ImaginaryLandscape/django-nocaptcha-recaptcha

Here is my template:

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<div class="col-sm6 col-sm-offset-3">
    <h1>HastePaste</h1>
    <form method="POST" action=""> {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn-default">
        <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="6LfimBYTAAAAANXrMzDUVTiUHAm7ZaN2AR1Qs2SG"></div>
    </form>
</div>

{% endblock %}

with

<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>

in the base.html.

My form:

from django import forms
from nocaptcha_recaptcha.fields import NoReCaptchaField
from posts.models import Post


class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model = Post
    fields = '__all__'
    captcha = NoReCaptchaField()

The public key and the secret key are in the settings aswell as 'nocaptcha_recaptcha' in the installed apps. Any help would be great!

Edit: Sorry if my problem was not clear. Does not work means that the captcha shows up, but it has no effect. I can submit the form even if the captcha is unchecked.

"Does not work" and how does it not work, what is happening, what do you expect to be happening. Are there any errors? — Risadinha, Feb 25 '16 at 16:29

I solved the problem myself. The NoReCaptchaField should not be in the Meta class. It worked like this:

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = '__all__'
    captcha = NoReCaptchaField()

No I get an error message if the captcha is ignored, but that is a different question I guess.
