    Hi,
    why do you have a recaptcha for the login form too? I don’t think it can work with 2 widgets on the same page.

    Please try removing the plugin that is adding the login re-captcha and let us know.

    Thanks

    Yes you’re right it was that.

    I thought I’d tried the form without that installed. But the account might already have been locked out by that point with all my attempts to diagnose the problem.

    I’m using that plugin network wide on my two Multisites as for months I’ve been getting daily attempts to brute force attack user accounts.

    I also use Wordfence and plugin and despite having the maximum password attempts set at 20, I’ll get several emails a day from Wordfence saying they have been locked out.

    Obviously I’m experimenting with the best combination of security measures to use.

    I’ll have to have more of an experiment with GD Booster. I had a problem where it seemed to be causing the Google Maps to hang.

    Also I think it’s in the Hostgator terms and conditions that you have to use WP Super Cache. It came preinstalled.

    Wp super cache will not work, if they force you to use only one caching plugin, I’d suggest to move to a more flexible hosting provider.

    For the GD Booster problems, we’ll need to look at your install when active, let us know.

    Thanks
