Installed the CAPTCHA plugin, all the small square images show with instructions to drag “xxxx” into the circle. Only problem, no circle. I can drag the image to the area where the circle SHOULD be, and it works, but just got an email from user, “Where is the circle.” He also espoused about life being too short to look for circles. Ugh. Suggestions? (Latest versions of SP and plugin.)

interesting… that was a potential issue with the captcha plugiin before the release last week that fixed it – at least multiple users confirmed it was fixed if it was affecting them…
is this for posting or registration?
what version of wp?
also, do you use the combined css cache? if so, please try clearing it… and the combined js cache…
WP 3.9.1
For posting. Did not enable for Registration.
No combined CSS or JS cache in use.
just to be sure, this is captcha version 1.3.6 right…
I guess you have turned it off? I dont see it on your site…
but I suspect the problem is your wp theme… Its loading bootstrap.js which is known to conflict with the jquery ui library provided by wp… conflict is being nice – it basically clobbers it… since the captcha plugin uses the wp jquery ui, I suspect that may be your problem…
one way to run a quick test would be to temp switch to the default wp theme and see if it works…
if the problem is indeed the theme using bootstrap, we can help you tweak it such that wp jquery ui is loaded after bootstrap and the problem will resolve itself…
It is CAPTCHA version 1.3.6. Yes, that seems to be the case after switching themes back and forth. I did some digging and found this:

Looks like several solutions there. Any look promising? I suspect you’ve already figured out one that works however.
No such ‘one’ I am afraid. Different theme authors have different ideas on how to code things up and if they stuck to standards they wouldn’t be using Bootstrap in the first place. Or – at least they would be testing it and ensuring that it did work with other standard and supported libraries.
one day I am hoping that someone will actually take this back to their theme author and have a go at them as they are still best placed to resolve it and any ‘fix’ e out in will get ioverwritten when they supply a theme update. But for some reason users seem reluctant to do this.
The simplest fix has been ensuring the SP scripts load in the page footer (admin > Integration > page and permalink) but sadly this is not a fix for everyone. Mostly it needs code changes to your theme. But it is worth a try first…
this theme forces bootstrap to load in the footer… so moving the plugin scripts there is not likely to help… but like Andy says, cant hurt to try…
the key is to get bootstrap to load before wp loads jquery ui… since we cannot predict what the bootstrap js that gets enqueued looks like (many themes have named it very things), we cannot force it to happen… but the theme could since it knows it js and enqueueing plus knows the wp jquery ui…
you can search these forums for bootstrap and see multiple examples of how folks accomplished it with the non-conformant themes…
if you can located in your theme where and how its loading bootstrap, we can help you with a correction…
