# Gravity Form Won’t Submit with AJAX Enabled

![file z3TABMFtj6](https://s3.amazonaws.com/helpscout.net/docs/assets/559c68b9e4b03e788eda1692/images/5a300f162c7d3a46d595fa69/file-z3TABMFtj6.png)

A GravityForms form rendered with Popup Maker will not properly submit when the form includes a CAPTCHA field.  [GravityForms' own documentation states](https://docs.gravityforms.com/captcha/): 

***"Please Note:** Due to limitations of reCAPTCHA, if your form contains a reCAPTCHA field it will not be able to submit via AJAX."*

To resolve the problem, *remove the CAPTCHA field from the form. *

There are several additional ways to combat spam when using forms on your site:

1) Select a 'honeypot' setting in your form. 

2) Use a spam detection and filtering plugin, like Automattic's  [Akismet](https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/) or [AntiSpam Bee](https://wordpress.org/plugins/antispam-bee/) from the WordPress.org plugin repository.
