 * Hello, I’ve been using your plugin for about 2 months now and I’m using UsersWP
   CAPTCHA to protect my site. However, I found something that bothers me.
 * After I’m filling the username and password filled, I clicked login, suddenly
   it shows the red error “reCAPTCHA ERROR: The secret parameter is missing or invalid.
   Please try again”
 * But, when I click the login button once again, I can logged in normally without
   the error shows again.
 * This is very bad for my users experience. They may thought there’s an error in
   the CAPTCHA and refuse to register to my site.
 * You can try the [register page here](https://www.smartpower.id/daftar-baru/).
 * And the [login page here](https://www.smartpower.id/login/).
 * For your information, this is happening both before I’m using cache plugin and
   after I’m using cache plugin. (I even clear all cache)

 * Hi,
 * Can you try excluding the login and register page from the cache and see if it
   works for you? I think the captcha response is not set to the input field on 
   page load and that’s why it is throwing error for first-time form submission.
 * Regards,
    Patrik

 * Okay, I’ve excluded the login page and register page in my LiteSpeed Cache plugin,
   but still it doesn’t work.
 * Any other thoughts?
