 * Hmm, that is quite strange. It only includes that file if the Class ReCaptcha
   does not exist. It would be strange if the class ReCaptchaResponse already would
   exist, but not ReCaptcha.
 * What other plugins do you use? And what is your theme?

 * I use a theme name Risen ([http://stevengliebe.com/wp-playground/risen/](http://stevengliebe.com/wp-playground/risen/))
 * These plugins are activated:
 * -contact form 7
    -hide comments -limit login attemps -nextgen Gallery -optoion
   Frameworks -Really Simple Captcha -Regenerate Thumbnails -Standout Color Boxes
   and Buttons

 * Hmm, none of those plugins have the reCAPTCHA library.
    Apparently the theme 
   has a contact form with it. Could you maybe send the theme, or part of it to 
   marcel @ timelord.nl?

 * Hmm, I see similar problems with the Avada theme, that uses an old version of
   recapthcalib. There is a class ReCaptchaResponse, but not ReCaptcha. So the test
   in my plugin fails.

 * On second note, there’s no conflict with any of my themes that include reCAPTCHA.
 * Could you test with current SVN? It might work around the issue, allthough it
   is probably not the right way yet.
 * I would still be very much interested in a copy of your theme.
