I am having issues with the recapture

Some users say they cant enter it, and it wont let them log in. I have disable both wordpress log in, and wpforo log in captcha, but a box still shows up asking them to prove they are not a robot, but its doesnt work, so they can't log in.... any help?

Try to put this on top of your .htaccess

WordPressProtect off, 0

This will disable Litespeed webserver protection captchas/brute force for Wordpress sites.

(the last character is ZERO not letter o).

But this could be your problem (it was mine also).

Anyways, you are the boss.

Hi @percysgrowroom

reCAPTCHA should work on all browsers and devices. Only very outdated devices like iPhone 4 or IE 6 may cause problems, so I'd ask that user provide more details about the device or browser he/she uses.

I have disable both wordpress log in, and wpforo log in captcha, but a box still shows...

There is no reCAPTCHA box on your login pages. Your reCAPTCHA is disabled. So they should already login w/o any issue. It seems that was just a cache.

Do you have Wordfence? If this is true, you must deactivate reCaptcha in the "login settings" and activate them in wpForo. 😉

He is hosting on a LiteSpeed server. Litespeed server has ENABLED a special captcha (google) for brute force protection. No matter if you disable all captchas, this is enabled by the SERVER.

Not 100% sure this is his problem, still if he has no plugins captchas and still sees a Robot check, that could be it.
