Moving store fro subfolder to sub-domain

[EcoPets]

Several months ago, I set up my store on a sub-folder of my domain as I thought it would be easier to do full domain backups that way. But now I find that the Google Captcha-ReCaptcha does not work on sub-folders.  Now I am getting a lot of bot signups and it is very annoying!  I would like to move the files from the sub-folder to the subdomain.  It is all on the same server.  I have tried a couple of things on a test setup I use for testing, but can't seem to get it to reconnect to the database.  Moving the files is easy, but I am missing something in the configuration to set the proper paths.

Can anyone offer any guidance on how to do this?

 

Thanks!

What do you mean by Google recaptcha doesn't work with sub folder?

According to Google, it only works on a full domain (mydomain.com) or subdomain (sub.mydomain.com).  If I have a login etc, in a subfolder (mydomain.com/folder), the captcha does not appear and does not protect the process.  If you know something different or how I can use it adequately in a sub folder, please explain.

Hum strange, our reCaptcha works perfectly with a sub folder

OK.  How did you setup the captcha setting to get that to work?

When I try to put in the site with the subfolder, I get the error:

The following domain is invalid: https://www.eco-petsupplies.com/shop. A valid domain requires a host and must not include any protocol, path, port, query or fragment.

I am using the V2 captcha version, with the checkbox, but tried with v3 and get the same result.  I have tried leaving off the HTTPS, the www etc, but nothing works.  If I just put the domain, without the subfolder, "shop", everything works fine.  I've Googled for a solution and find nothing that explains what the issue is or how to fix it, although it seems to be a common problem, but I don't find any examples with a subfolder like I use.

As explained just add your domain www.eco-petsupplies.com or just eco-petsupplies.com if you want to use it on sub domains also.

And as I explained, my site is in a SUBFOLDER, "eco-petsupplies.com/shop".  So it is NOT a subdomain and as such is NOT protected by the captcha.  Entering ECO-PETSUPPLIES.COM/SHOP results in the error.

What I asked was how, if possible, can recaptch protect a SUBFOLDER.

I believe that I will need to MOVE my store out of the SUBFOLDER and into the main domain.  If anyone can provide guidance on doing that, I would appreciate it. 

Thanks!!
