 * the captcha area is too wide for my sidebar.
 * my sidebar is 253px wide and captcha is 302px wide. I’ve tried a few different
   css tricks but nothing seems to work.

 * Hi Crashmasterjoe,
 * Unfortunately, the Google reCAPTCHA is not responsive, however I found this tutorial
   on how to force the box to fit a sidebar:
    [https://www.geekgoddess.com/how-to-resize-the-google-nocaptcha-recaptcha/](https://www.geekgoddess.com/how-to-resize-the-google-nocaptcha-recaptcha/)
 * I just tested it and it worked great, all you need to do is add this code to 
   your theme’s style sheet:
 *     ```
       .g-recaptcha {
            transform:scale(0.77);-webkit-transform:scale(0.77);
            transform-origin:0 0;-webkit-transform-origin:0 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * The way to do that will vary. If you built your own theme or are using a Child
   theme you just add it to the style sheet. If you bought or downloaded a theme,
   look for a place to add “Custom CSS.” If that is not available you can use a 
   free plugin like Jetpack or Simple Custom CSS to add it.
