 * Hello [@nataliamercado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nataliamercado/)
 * Thank you for using our plugin.
 * I have just accessed the page in question and I can see that CAPTCHA is working.
   However, I am presuming that you have updated from quite an old version of the
   plugin. If that is the case, we’ve changed quite a few things since we acquired
   this plugin back in September 2021. One of the major changes was to enforce the
   premium features.
 * For more information on what has changed and what has been updated and fixed,
   please refer to the [CAPTCHA 4WP changelog](https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/support/kb/captcha-4wp-changelog/).
 * Should you need further information please do not hesitate to ask.
 * Have a great day.

 * We’ve also updated some sites relatively recently, and the shortcode is appearing
   instead of working `[anr-captcha]`.
 * Your anwser does not really answer the OP’s core question, so I will ask more
   directly:
 * Did you remove `[anr-captcha]` shortcode from the free features? If you did break
   backwards compatibility in this nasty way – can you please provide an upgrade
   code? People were adding this shortcodes to custom registration forms from member
   plugins etc. Thanks!
