Lost my site twice and had to retype and rewrite everything then suddenly I couldn't login again. After buying $79 support ticket, WordPress support finally discovered that your plugin was placing an invisible (means logically active but not screen visible) captcha box "I am not a robot" in every WordPress login box not just your forum forms. Since it was invisible, I couldn't select it and it would then reject the login attempt. Disabling your plugin stopped the behavior every where on the site. However I have all kinds of articles that I write as the lead topics for each for the forums that I will once again lose if you can't help me with the captcha leak. Thank you.. Love the forum when I can log into it or my site...

Update, Thank you...    Well I got rid of API from Google captcha, turned off all forms, flushed all caches and log-in problem gone. While typing this , you answered. so i'll wait... to 1.48.  Plugin is the best forum view without custom programming... Thanks for the quick response, just went live with Faceboook and twitter redirects.

Hi @kmhappel

Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Tools and enable reCAPTCHA for all forms. This issue only exists when you don't enable reCAPTCHA for WordPress login forms.You should do whether enable reCAPTCHA for all forms or disable it. This is a bug in 1.4.7 version, it's already fixed in next version. Just keep all options enabled and it'll work fine. Once we released the 1.4.8 you can disable any form you want.
