This works for me.

1) In register_center.tpl add this:

{if isset($form_captcha_error)}{ foreach value=error from=$form_captcha_error }<br /><span class="error">{$error}</span><br />{ /foreach }<br />{/if}

{php}
require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "..."; // you got this from the signup page
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);
{/php}

BEFORE THIS

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="{#PLIGG_Visual_Register_Create_User#}" class="log2" tabindex="36" />

2) In register.php add this:

require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$privatekey = "...";

$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

if (!$resp->is_valid) { // if both captchas don't match
$error = true;
}


BEFORE THIS

$vars = array('username' => $username);
check_actions('register_check_errors', $vars);

AND THIS

$main_smarty->assign('form_captcha_error', 'The reCAPTCHA code you entered was incorrect.');

AFTER THIS

$main_smarty->assign('form_password_error', $form_password_error);
