Well, having fixed the ‘less important’ part of the original post, can someone please help with the issue of the recaptcha NOT showing up in IE. We found that there is an additional option that would fix this and that can be added to the raw code if you’re just using html, but we’re not sure where this would get placed in all of the files of this plug-in. See the ‘fallback’ option from this link:
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq#no_checkbox
We really like this plug-in and want to continue to use it, but without the captcha working in IE (browser used by most businesses) we’ll have to move on to another plug-in and rate this one as missing a major feature for most form plug-ins.
