    Conditional nature of the plugin appears to work along with the whole “if completed accurately place here otherwise place there” behavior. However, underneath each CAPTCHA I see the following:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-comments-post.php on this server.

    I am currently using one of the more popular security plugins to protect my WordPress site and I imagine this might be the source of conflict but I am hoping there is an easy answer to this issue before I go digging.

    Yes, this is because of your security plugin. I don’t know of a workaround unfortunately – the plugin requires access to that file which is a part of WordPress’ core installation.

    If everything still works (and the only issue is the visibility of the forbidden message), you may be able to hide it using CSS.

    Mind telling me what feature is being blocked by not having access to this file? It seems things are fully functional so I wonder why the access is required in the first place.

    Feel free to inspect the code to see why access is required. I don’t know why things are working despite the warning being issued by your security plugin and cannot tell you this without inspecting its code (and you haven’t said which plugin it is).

    Point is that it is attempting to prevent access to a file that is part of the WordPress core, which will always have unintended consequences for other plugins.

    Thanks for the quick responses. I’m going to take a look into the conflict between the two plugins and see if I can resolve it myself.
