 * Hi,
 * On the browser console I get:
 * Status: parsererrorError: SyntaxError: Unexpected token CResponse: Could not 
   open socket
 * Which comes from line 72 of ‘jquery.validate.contact.form.js?ver=4.4.3’ being:
 * console.log(“Status: ” + textStatus + “Error: ” + errorThrown + “Response: ” 
   + XMLHttpRequest.responseText);
 * When trying to send a test message. Is it me or you?
 * This was before it:
 *  XHR finished loading: POST “[http://******.co.uk/me/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php&#8221](http://******.co.uk/me/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php&#8221);.
   jquery.js?ver=1.11.1:4 m.ajaxTransport.sendjquery.js?ver=1.11.1:4 m.extend.ajaxjquery.
   validate.contact.form.js?ver=4.4.3:38 (anonymous function)jquery.js?ver=1.11.1:
   3 m.event.dispatchjquery.js?ver=1.11.1:3 m.event.add.r.handle
 * Plugin version: 4.4.3
 * Kind regards,
 * Gareth

 * Do you have recaptcha on your form? If so can you try again without it?
 * Can you give me a URL?

 * Thank you for replying.
 * I just turned off recaptcha – as was on – then worked.
 * Then turned recaptcha back on and now works!
 * Do you still need the URL?
