# Missing Turnstile for Reply Comments

 * Version: 1.39.0
   [Example link](https://www.heyitsfree.net/free-lowes-diy-kids-kit/)
 * I’ve discovered that for the past few weeks the CAPTCHA has stopped appearing
   on all of my comment _reply _forms. This is causing all reply comment submission
   attempts to automatically fail. New, top level comments are still loading the
   CAPTCHA and working, but nobody can reply to any of them.
   Inspecting the source
   code shows the CAPTCHA is there, but for some reason it has “display:none” styled
   to it on all the replys. Here’s a [screenshot showing this](https://gyazo.com/ec42e8e16415a79eeda1d985b80fbf8d).
   To debug, I set “Appearance Mode: Always” but it’s still hidden with “display:
   none”. I also deactivated all Advanced, Whitelist, and Failsafe settings. I initially
   had the “defer scripts” and “performance plugin compatibility” options enabled,
   so turning them off didn’t help. I do have “AJAX comments form” option still 
   enabled. If I disable it, then I break both “reply” _and _“new” comments.Lastly,
   I checked “Enable debug logging of Turnstile form submission events.” but no 
   log seems to be appearing despite all the test comments I’ve made this hour.I
   am using plain WordPress comments. I also have another Turnstile plugin (Gravity
   Forms Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On version 1.50) that I use just for Gravity Forms.
   I am only trying to use this Simple CAPTCHA plugin for my comments and that’s
   it. I am also running WP Rocket and am happy to tweak any suggested settings 
   there.Thanks for any help with this!
