PMPro v2.5.4 is out with a handful of enhancements and bug fixes. Some of these bugs have the potential to hinder sales, so be sure to upgrade. This update fixes an issue introduced to our reCAPTCHA v2 code in v2.5.3. We have backported a fix for this bug, but anyone who upgraded to v2.5.3 already but doesn’t want to upgrade to v2.5.4 yet, can manually patch this issue by making the change here.
