 * Adding a Captcha field to registration form causes the form to generate a 500
   error for Jquery on submit. Worked fine until Captcha field added. Is this a 
   known issue?
 * jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4 POST [https://&#8212](https://&#8212);.—.com/wp-admin/
   admin-ajax.php 500
    send @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4 ajax @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-
   wp:4 pfAjaxCall @ user-meta.js?ver=2.3:121 umInsertUser @ user-meta.js?ver=2.3:
   150 onsubmit @ (index):167
 * thanks for your help!

 * Ugh! Rookie mistake to publish this in a general forum, sorry. Thought I *was*
   on the plugin’s support page.

 * Hi,
 * It’s not a known-issue.
    Which version of captcha you are using? Also, 500-error
   is a server-side error. So it is hard to tell from here what is causing the error.
   But you can try clearing your browser cache. Also can try adding the following
   code in your function.php file:
 *     ```
       add_filter('user_meta_recaptcha_request_method', function () {
           return 'SocketPost';
       });
       ```
   
 * However, I will look into the issue and let you know if any exact fix is found.
 * Thanks.

 * Upon receiving no response I’m considering the issue is resolved now and marking
   this as resolved.
