# ReCAPTCHA Javascript error – couldn’t find function: form_button_enabler

 * I can’t login to WordPress due to reCAPTCHA error. When I submit, the login form
   waits quite a while, and then errors with “Human verification failed. Please 
   click the square box in the reCAPTCHA block below.”.
 * I tried this in a private browser window, and also enabled web console and I 
   see the Javascript error below which must cause this –
 * **recaptcha__en.js:400 ReCAPTCHA couldn’t find user-provided function: form_button_enabler**
 * That is strange. I believe there have not been any website changes since I last
   logged in 3 days ago.
 * Do I need to perform the steps at the topic “I can’t login / I’m locked out of
   my site”?
 * Thanks for any help

 * Please open the browser console (F12 key) and try to log in again. What errors
   do you see?

 * Ok, I tried again and I see the same error-
 * recaptcha__en.js:400 ReCAPTCHA couldn’t find user-provided function: form_button_enabler
 * This error appears when I click the ReCAPTCHA checkbox.
 * That was Chrome, and it’s the same in Firefox –
    ReCAPTCHA couldn’t find user-
   provided function: form_button_enabler recaptcha__en.js:400:220

 * We may be under a DDOS attack currently. Lots of other things under our domain
   are affected, slower, bounceback emails, etc. Maybe that is affecting ReCAPTCHA
   also. I will wait.

 * Other things all seem fine now, but I still receive the same error with the reCAPTCHA
   on WordPress login form. Let me know if you have any ideas.

 * Update – I tried this morning and the same error still showed in Web Console,
   but my login succeeded. I tried another time successfully to be sure.
