reCAPTCHA error
by elaborate·1 year ago
Looks like there’s a problem loading the reCAPTCHA. From the developer tools console:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: grecaptcha
Refused to execute https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=<site key obfuscated> as script because "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff" was given and its Content-Type is not a script MIME type.Very customizable and no bloat!

I have been using this contact form plugin for a couple of years and it has been great at keeping spam away even using just the simple question. It’s customizable and does not contain a bunch of slow unnecessary stuff, like most of the similar plugins I tried.
Excellent!
