That’s was one of the first things I checked. Nope

Also, the two login forms have different styles. One of them is the default WordPress login and the other is the theme-my-login form.

I can give you access to the backend f you like. The site is still under construction.

No I didn’t. I have a few other plugins installed. One of the is advanced access manager. Not sure if that’s interfering.

@crudhuner that was very helpful 🙂 Thank you.

once thing that is concerning me though but maybe for another thread is that the live activity is constantly being updated by IP’s from Russia, Vietnam, China, Ukraine and the list goes on. Isn’t the firewall supposed to be blocking these things???

thank you for replying.

That can’t be accurate because the whole reason I installed wordfence is because the site is being accessed by crawlers from all over the world every few seconds and maxing out the bandwidth allocation of the account. I went to Live activity and there is CONSTANT activity even though that message says idle. So what am I missing?

Thank you for the suggestion but that is not the problem. I have deleted the keys and recreated new keys making SURE this time that the normal reCAPTCHA V2 is selected and NOT the invisible option. After re-configuring the plugin with the new keys, I see the EXACT same behaviour.

reCAPTCHA works but the button is set to “disabled” in the css/html. The moment I disable this plugin the comments works as expected.

Any other ideas?
