[Resolved] Disable/remove recaptcha

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I need to disable/remove recaptcha from a development site, in order to be able to test form submissions.

Solution:

You can go to Toolset Settings page-> Forms, setup the reCAPTCHA API key temporarily, then remove the recaptcha field in the post form.

Or you can switch to "Expert mode", remove the recaptcha field shortcode directly:
[cred_field field='recaptcha' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I need to disable/remove recaptcha from a development site, in order to be able to test form submissions. Since I cannot use Google recaptcha keys on a development site, I need to just disable the recaptcha.
I tried simply removing the google keys from the Toolset-settings-form, but that did not help. The form still gets rejected on submission.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
No
Is there a similar example that we can see?
No
What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello,

You can try these:
Edit the Toolset post/user form you mentioned above, find and remove the "reCaptcha" field, then test again.

After you move the website to the production website, you can just add it back.

The problem is that I don't see a recaptcha field on the form.
It also says I cannot add a recaptcha due to there being no keys entered. (see image attached)
Even so, if I try to fill out the new user form, I get an error message that the recaptcha was not filled.
