    Your GD ReCaptcha seems to be one version out of date.

    Be sure to have applied ReCaptcha to your add listing form

    Who is assigned as the author for the listing in the backend? Listings cannot exist unless they have an author.
    Let us know.
    Thanks

    Can you post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply so we can have a look. Also provide a URL or other details of a listing to check.
    Thanks
