    This is more of an answer than a question. I noticed several posts with the same issue. In my case, the issue happened to be b/c my site is using SSL and the reCaptcha code doesn’t account for it. Here is my fix:

    Edit /types/recaptcha.php. Change this code:

    return "<div dir=\"ltr\">" .
"<script type=\"text/javascript\"> var RecaptchaOptions = { ".
"theme : '".$theme."', ".
"lang : '".$lang."', tabindex : 100 }; </script>".
recaptcha_get_html($publickey).
(isset($_POST['recaptcha_challenge_field'])?"<br /> <em> ".__("The reCAPTCHA was incorrect.", 'wordpress-form-manager')." </em>":"") .
"</div>";

    To look like this code:

    $use_ssl = ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) && !($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'off')) ? true : false;

return "<div dir=\"ltr\">" .
"<script type=\"text/javascript\"> var RecaptchaOptions = { ".
"theme : '".$theme."', ".
"lang : '".$lang."', tabindex : 100 }; </script>".
recaptcha_get_html($publickey,null,$use_ssl).
(isset($_POST['recaptcha_challenge_field'])?"<br /> <em> ".__("The reCAPTCHA was incorrect.", 'wordpress-form-manager')." </em>":"") .
"</div>";

  • Thank you, #jackiellowery. That was a very helpful work-around. However, it will only last until the next time WordPress Form Manager plugin is updated. Any idea if the plugin author might incorporate this rather minor change into the plugin code? Or more generally, is there a way to customize a plugin, like one might create a child theme to customize a theme, so I won’t lose this fix when the plugin is updated?

    For those of you who might not understand the problem, the WordPress Form Manager always uses HTTP protocol for the path to the ReCaptcha widget, and this creates a mix of secure/unsecure content on a site that uses SSL or HTTPS protocol. IE8 will display warning message saying, “Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?” and FireFox will not display unsecure content by default.
