Title: Javascript & Cookie 'not enabled" msg, when they're enabled? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Javascript & Cookie 'not enabled" msg, when they're enabled? * Resolved [sonfisher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sonfisher/) * (@sonfisher) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-cookie-not-enabled-msg-when-theyre-enabled/) * For the last few days I have been hearing from my client about problems with Event registrations. Today she hears from a customer that they are getting an error when they try to register for an event. * This behaviour happens on several browsers: Chrome, IE, FireFox and Safari My Client (on a Mac) and her customer (on a PC) have Javascript and cookies enabled. And both can reproduce this error. * The error comes up as soon as they click the submit on the registration form Here is the error: [code] `ERROR: Sorry, there was an error. Please be sure JavaScript and Cookies are enabled in your browser and try again.` * The url at the time this happens looks like this...

Over the last three days you’ve released as many updates or patches. Do you really wish me to believe there is no correlation at all? * Just because eme is not “generating” the error message (i.e., you did not find that specific error text in your code), could it be that your code creates an environment that falsely signals the need to enable Javascript or cookies when the browser does have that very setting? * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-cookie-not-enabled-msg-when-theyre-enabled/#post-6537252) * There is no correlation.

I’ll be tackling this on Sunday. Please leave unresolved until I get in touch with you on Tuesday.

I get huge amounts of spam, and would like to have both working! * Thanks, * Jeremy * [jezzerisin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jezzerisin/) * (@jezzerisin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-cookie-not-enabled-msg-when-theyre-enabled/#post-6537540) * I have found the solution to this, within WP-Spamshield In their settings there’s a tickbox called “Disable anti-spam for miscellaneous forms.” Tick this, and it stops blocking the Paypal payment gateway and receipt page. Hope this helps somebody else! Jeremy * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-cookie-not-enabled-msg-when-theyre-enabled/#post-6537541) * Although weird, wp-spamshield says on their ‘known issues’ page this: * ``` Some front-end anti-spam plugins, including CAPTCHA’s, challenge questions, etc. You should disable all CAPTCHAs when using WP-SpamShield. There’s no longer a need for them, and these could likely conflict. (Back-end anti-spam plugins like Akismet are fine, although unnecessary.) ``` * So, if using wp-spamshield, try not using the captcha in EME (if you’re using it), maybe that already solves the problem. I’m going to check out wp-spamshield this evening myself, and see what it does to my captcha 🙂 * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-cookie-not-enabled-msg-when-theyre-enabled/#post-6537542) * FYI: just installed wp-spamshield with all the default options as-is and for the dev-version of EME it seems to pose no problems at all (with or without EME captcha). So maybe you could try the EME dev-version? * [KeithWhalen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithwhalen/) * (@keithwhalen) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-cookie-not-enabled-msg-when-theyre-enabled/#post-6537543) * I was having exactly the same issue with Form Maker. Just tried deactivating wp-spamshield and the problem has gone away.
