Enable reCaptcha causes error for login v3 captcha

[jestermgee]

I enabled the captcha option for downloads and inserted my V2 captcha keys and this is working, however this has caused now all my login forms to display a captcha v3 error now:

“This site key is not enabled for the invisible captcha.”

Checking the page code, my login pages are calling the simple download captcha script, even tho on the login pages there is no simple download functionality at all:

<script src=”https://freelancesoundlabs.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-download-monitor/js/sdm_wp_scripts.js?ver=6.8.1&#8243; id=”sdm-scripts-js”></script>
<script id=”sdm-recaptcha-scripts-js-js-extra”>

This is now causing me issues where the Google v3 captcha is loading on the login page with the above error.

If I disable the captcha feature in simple downloads everything is working as normal.

Is there a solution to this? Can reCaptcha V3 be implemented at all over v2?

I will also add that I am using minimal plugins, Elementor + Elementor Hello theme and woo commerce. Nothing causes me any issues other than simple downloads when the captcha option is enabled and only on the login pages of the site. I have completely disabled ALL captcha options site wide as a test, nothing is showing as a captcha on the front end for login. As soon as I enable the captcha for simple downloads it is causing captcha v3 to again display on the front end with the error above.

Adding a further test. I decided to put in my V3 captcha keys into dimple download and this fixes the issue on the login pages but of course simple downloads itself does not support V3 so it does not allow any downloads to work.

I think there is a conflict here with the captcha feature of the plugin. Not understanding why it is being called from login pages when simple download is not even placed on any login page at all. I have both a dedicated login page and popup modal both styled using Elementor and both these have the same issue.

Our plugin only outputs the CAPTCHA-related JavaScript code on the front-end of the site. It uses the wp_enqueue_scripts hook, which is only executed on the front-end.

So, it shouldn’t affect the standard WordPress back-end login page. However, if you’re using a plugin that adds a custom front-end login form, there could be a conflict.

We are currently working on adding new CAPTCHA options to the plugin, which will allow us to phase out the older v2 CAPTCHA.

A new CAPTCHA option should be available within the next few weeks. In the meantime, we recommend disabling v2 CAPTCHA, as it’s causing conflicts on your site. Once the new option is released, you can switch to that.

Let us know if that works for you.

It’s affecting the front end login, where users login to their account.

Unsure on exactly what is happening. I have WordPress + Woo, Elementor Pro, Essential Addons (free) and “The Plus Addons Pro”.

Even with all the captcha features disabled for all these plugins and no captcha V3 showing as active on the front end, if I enable Captcha in SD it now causes the Captcha V3 to appear on the front end but of course fails which blocks people logging in.

Captcha V3 would certainly be a better option so I am interested to test that when available. At the current moment I have captcha disabled. Would also love to see the option that can remove the captcha check for logged in users
