    Am I missing something really obvious, if a visitor uses Internet Explorer to visit any of our blogs, no text appears in the wp-recaptcha box, just the square that you tick. We just see a white box, you can still tick the box and see a captcha but the layout is weird.

    In Chrome and Firefox everything is fine.

  • I’ve seen this happen as well. I’m not sure of the cause, although I’ve only seen it on my site that doesn’t use this plugin. So it might be something with IE and Google’s code. I’ve only tested on IE9.

    I figured it out and it was completely my fault, our network administrators set Internet Explorer to display intranet sites in Compatibility View. Our WordPress install is on a local domain so it’s seen an an “intranet” site.

    Compatibility view breaks anything modern including the CSS that displays the captcha.

    Disabling Compatibility View fixes everything!

    I think older IE versions (maybe newer ones too) have display Intranet sites in Compatibility View checked by default.

    I think the general consensuses is to use this meta tag to force IE to NOT use Compatibility Mode/View on yoru particular website:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">

    I use that for the intranet site I just built for a company and it works great.

    Tnx (=
