# ReCaptcha question

 * Feeling kind of dumb right now… But I am unable to register at your site so I
   can log in to send you a question 🙁 Sorry…
 * I’m using WPForms Lite: 1.3.6 and ReCaptcha did function correctly on 1.3.5.
   
   Since I’m working on my site, I had to test some things and thought to try and
   fill out my form, which I did. But the ReCaptcha box is not showing so I can’t
   send the form. I disabled the recaptcha function from within WPForms settings
   and then the form does work again.
 * Just to test: when I put the <div class=”g-recaptcha” data-sitekey=”xxxxxxxxxxxx”
   ></div> code that google is suggesting on their recaptcha page into the post/
   page that holds the form (i.e.: after the [wpforms *number*]) it does load the
   form and the recaptcha box, which then both work. But of course not in relation
   to the form, helas.
 * Could you tell me what is going wrong?
 * Thanks and keep up the good work!

 * Hey compressor,
 * When you get a chance can you provide a link to where the form is embedded? This
   will allow me to take a look and see if there are any javascript errors.
 * Let me know!

 * Hey Jared,
 * Here is the link: *edited away after jared replied.*

 * Thanks!
 * Currently it looks like reCAPTCHA is not enabled on that form.
 * However, I think I see the issue. The reCAPTCHA API is already loading on the
   site (maybe from the google-captcha plugin?)
 * The WPForms reCAPTCHA can’t run if reCAPTCHA is already being used. Disabling
   the other reCAPTCHAs on the page so that the reCAPTCHA API isn’t loaded multiple
   times (and only is loaded by WPForms) should get working.
 * This can be difficult admittedly. WPForms is very smart about our asset loading–
   by that I mean we only load files on your site or page if absolutely needed. 
   Meaning, if you load a page that doesn’t have a form, we don’t load any of our
   files. If you load a page that contains a form, but does not have reCAPTCHA enabled,
   we don’t load the reCAPTCHA API.
 * Unfortunately, the majority of plugins/themes out there don’t bother to do this
   detection. Instead they just load everything on every page regardless if its 
   even used or not. So what we see is plugins/themes loading the reCAPTCHA API,
   which then causes an error when _we_ load the reCAPTCHA API, even though its 
   not even being used.
 * Sorry about that!

 * Hi Jared,
 * Thanks for your quick reply.
 * No need to say sorry about that. Sounds like a very solid base.
 * I just can’t figure out what went wrong where anf when. That’s why I assumed 
   it had something to do with the update. Have to go to a customer now but I am
   going to try and change the recaptcha settings and backtrace when I get home 
   again.
 * Thanks again!
