Since Update 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, Google reCaptcha has disappeared.

I’m having the same issue

I have also got this issue

Just to add…

The Google reCaptcha is being used in a plugin called Custom Contact Forms.

There were no issues until the Wordfence update.

I disabled the Wordfence firewall being that it was the new feature. It seemed the likely cause, however, reCaptcha did not reappear until Wordfence was completely disabled.

Now I’m stuck because both are crucial to the site.

Hi,

Can you try temporarily disabling “Hide WordPress version” near the bottom of the Wordfence options page? This might cause an issue with caching scripts on some hosts, or possibly a version string required by one of the scripts.

If that does not help, if anyone can post a link to their form that’s missing the captcha, I can try to check it out.

Hi Matt,
Unchecking “Hide WordPress version” was the fix for me.

Thank you!

Just curious…
Will there will be a fix for having to disable the “Hide WordPress version” Wordfence option?

I think it’s an important one to have enabled.
Thanks.

Yes, the dev team is looking into this now, and we’ve reproduced the issue here — thanks for confirming that it fixed the issue on your site. It will be noted in the changelog when this option is updated.

That’s great to hear.
I’m certain it will be addressed quickly as the Wordfence dev is on top of everything.
Thanks again.

Thanks that worked for me too!

Hi Matt,
Just letting you know that update.6.1.3 was just installed and indeed resolved the disappearing reCaptch when “Hide WordPress version” is enabled.

Thanks to your and the DEV team!

Great, thanks for confirming it as well!
