You should have Math captcha or Google captcha selected. * Let me know that is the case. * Regards * Thread Starter [kc_pix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kc_pix/) * (@kc_pix) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-2-problems/#post-16289524) * Hi, * Thanks for the reply. Your suggestion was correct. The “Captcha Settings” on Brute Force – were not turned ON. * I recommend putting a Note on the “Spam Prevention/Comment” section – to Enable the function back on “Brute Force”. * Its operation is currently divided (and Linked) into two different sections… 🙁 * Who knew… 🙂 * kc * Thread Starter [kc_pix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kc_pix/) * (@kc_pix) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-2-problems/#post-16289556) * I went to WP Security > Firewall > Enable Basic * and turned it ON. Left it ON and Saved. * Your comment reads to turn it ON, then OFF. * A procedural dilemma… 🙂 * kc * Plugin Support [hjogiupdraftplus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hjogiupdraftplus/) * (@hjogiupdraftplus) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-2-problems/#post-16289667) * [@kc_pix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kc_pix/) * I have commented to turn it on then off to keep the same state. but you may keep it on. * Regards * Plugin Support [hjogiupdraftplus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hjogiupdraftplus/) * (@hjogiupdraftplus) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-2-problems/#post-16298781) * Hi [@kc_pix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kc_pix/) * Black list manager issue solved in recent release 5.1.4 and for that catcha issue internally created ticket so upcoming release will be implemented as per priority with other task. * Thread Starter [kc_pix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kc_pix/) * (@kc_pix) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-2-problems/#post-16300877) * Hi, * I installed the new 5.14 version yesterday.
