   I’m losing business because of it. Please, help!

 * This issue was fixed for me when I edited the **wpdm-functions.php**. The directory
   depends on your setup.
 * For me it was **/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/download-
   manager/wpdm-functions.php**
 * Line in question was using an object method instead of an array reference. After
   updating this my ReCaptcha problems went away 🙂
 * Line 267 can be changed to:
 * `$ret = json_decode($ret['body']);`
 * Hopefully the developer can update the code for another update if possible.

 * Suggested fix worked. I’ve made a note, in case any updates from the developer
   doesn’t fix the issue.
