Recaptcha is not stopping spam was created by Garry Sibbald
Hi,
I have comments turned on with Recaptcha function in use and the comments system is working fine but spam is still getting through. As I have always found Recaptcha to stop spam I was wondering if spam is able to bypass the recaptcha process. Can anyone throw any light on this and also tell me how to fix this.

Hi,
I have solved this issue. The recaptcha form was not being acknowledged by the Comments section and was playing no part in the process. I turned the Google ReCaptcha option off and then back on and it has kicked it in and it is now filtering submissions correctly.
