CAPTCHA plugin not letting superadmin add user

I have a WP 3.6.1 multisite install with Simple-Press 5.3.1

If I activate the CAPTCHA plugin 1.3.2 (and same with 1.3.1) I cannot add a user from the network admin dashboard as it asks me to “move the picture” that does not display in that area. The only way around seems to be to disable the plugin. Is there a fix for this? I have tried Firefox and IE with same results.

sorry, not following you… are you saying the simple press captcha is appearing in network admin? so this is multisite?

When the SimplePress CAPTCHA plugin is activated, I am unable to add a user in the WP multisite network admin dashboard, as it asks me to “move the picture”. There is no picture to move there… So I cannot do the add.

If I go to the main login page for the WP site and register as a new user, it also asks to “move the picture” but in that case there IS a picture to move.

Neither of these are SimplePress pages.

Deactivating the SimplePress plugin removes the prompt from these two WP pages.

It seems that the plugin is taking over the whole WP user add process, not just the SimplePress process.

Yes but it is entirely optional. You just need to turn the option off on the logon/registration admin panel.

True, I can turn it off, but it would be a useful tool. Since it knows to add the drag and drop to the user registration page, could it not also be programmed to provide that on the network admin user reg page too, so it would be able to be used?

If it can be duplicated and looked into yes…  but I have not seen it showing up there before… its certainly not intended to show there… and wp has been tweaking the multisite network admin the last couple releases so its possible they changed something to cause this… research will be needed….  but this would be odd since they would have to use the same form IDs as on the login or registration page inside the network admin…  but have opened a ticket for research..
