 * Same here, I’ve just updated it and the parse error on line 31 blocked my site.
   I had to deactivate the plugin by renaming its folder via FTP.

 * Even deactivating all plugins via SQL and renaming folder I receive the error
   message.

 * Hi,
 * This problem has already been resolved – please delete the plugin and install
   its recent version (you may need to do it via ftp or file manager of your hosting–
   wp-content/plugins folder captcha).
 * With your FTP program or via Сpanel go to wp-content/plugins and remove the folder
   with the plugin. Please make use of the following information:
