 * hi there, i’ve used WPForms lite on several WP sites and have no problems. i’ve
   setup many recaptcha sites in google admin so am familiar with the API keys etc.
   
   i’m now trying to install WPForms and recaptcha forms on a wordpress site which
   i didn’t build – the ‘theme’ is a little quirky and i’m getting problems with
   recaptcha on my WPforms (they don’t show up if ‘visible’ and the v3 API gives
   me a “verification failed” all the time).
 * just wondered if you can point me in the direction of anything that might be 
   missing in the theme headers etc. that are required?
    when i go to view source
   i don’t see any google recaptcha scripts etc. – but are these loaded dynamically
   later?
 * thanks!

 * Hi [@tallhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tallhat/),
 * It looks like the site theme is not loading a `wp_footer()` function, which is
   where we (and many other plugins) load our JavaScript files.
 * Hope this helps!

   things seem ok now!
    thank you!
