Registration forms built with [User Registration & Membership – Free & Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration & Login Builder] which hCaptcha enabled are unable to be submitted. On a site that was operating normally a few weeks ago with users registering the forms have become unresponsive when users click submit. When loading the page the following errors are logged in the browser: Uncaught TypeError: “grecaptcha” is read-only <anonymous> https://js.hcaptcha.com/1/api.js?render=explicit&onload=onloadDedicatedHcaptcha_dedicated_hcaptcha_1779884649001_bvsv7ms19:4 <anonymous> https://js.hcaptcha.com/1/api.js?render=explicit&onload=onloadDedicatedHcaptcha_dedicated_hcaptcha_1779884649001_bvsv7ms19:4 <anonymous> https://js.hcaptcha.com/1/api.js?render=explicit&onload=onloadDedicatedHcaptcha_dedicated_hcaptcha_1779884649001_bvsv7ms19:4 api.js:4:282322 Cookie “__cflb” has been rejected because it is in a cross-site context and its “SameSite” is “Lax” or “Strict”. 5270724c-5d42-47df-b44e-419917033d8a Cookie “__cflb” has been rejected because it is in a cross-site context and its “SameSite” is “Lax” or “Strict”.

No user registration is created. Uncaught Object { cause: “invalid-captcha-id”, message: “Invalid hCaptcha id: hcaptcha-loading” } Hello @abeorch , Thank you for the detailed report. The errors you shared clearly indicate a conflict between the standalone hCaptcha plugin and the built-in hCaptcha integration in User Registration & Membership. Both are trying to load the hCaptcha script simultaneously, which causes the widget to fail and blocks form submission. To resolve this: Deactivate the standalone hCaptcha plugin from Plugins > Installed Plugins. Configure hCaptcha within our plugin instead — go to User Registration & Membership > Settings > Registration & Login > Captcha, select hCaptcha as the Captcha Type, and enter your Site Key and Secret Key there. Clear all caches and test the form in an incognito window. For the full setup guide: https://docs.wpuserregistration.com/docs/how-to-integrate-hcaptcha-in-registration-login-forms/ Regarding the __cflb cookie warnings, these are related to Cloudflare’s load balancing cookies being blocked in cross-site context. These warnings alone would not break your form, but if your site uses Cloudflare, you may want to ensure the hCaptcha domains are whitelisted. Best regards Hi @abeorch , Since we haven’t heard back from you, we’ll close this topic for now as we believe the issue has been resolved. If you still need any help or would like to share an update, please feel free to reopen the topic at any time. We’ll be glad to assist you. 😊 Best regards, Hi Sorry its been a bit of a busy time so we haven’t managed to test this and confirm it as a resolution. Because it hasn’t been an issue in the past we also need to confirm that we can safely remove the cCapatcha plugin without losing key functionality. Hi @abeorch , Thank you for the update, we understand and appreciate you taking the time to check this. Regarding the hCaptcha plugin, it is completely safe to remove it as long as you are already using the built-in hCaptcha integration within the plugin settings. Removing the standalone plugin will not affect your core functionality if the integration is properly configured. Best regards!
