# WPForms Conflict

 * I installed this plugin to lock down the Woo login pages and it works great for
   that. Despite not having the WPForms option turned on, it is blocking my contact
   forms. It says “Please complete the Math Captcha to verify that you are not a
   robot” and I get this message whether the captcha is turned on or off for the
   wpforms. It works on Woo but I can’t use it if it blocks my contact pages.
 * I had a friend look at the code and they said that the plugin is not written 
   correctly.
 * The plugin **injects a captcha into _all_ WPForms**, unconditionally. So even
   if you did **not** enable Math Captcha in WPForms, the plugin still alters the
   form output.2. The plugin **forces WPForms validation**, even when disabled.
 * There is **no conditional check**:
    - No plugin setting
    - No per-form toggle
    - No WPForms field existence check
 * The validation handler is brokenThat means WPForms validation _always runs_.
 * This:
    - Terminates form processing
    - Prevents WPForms from completing submission
    - Triggers WPForms’ generic captcha error message:
 * > WPForms shows that message because **a validation hook aborted execution**,
   > not because a captcha was actually missing.
