I get the following error when trying to run cron manually:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function recaptcha_get_html() in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/includes/common.inc(1645) : eval()'d code on line 1866

I just upgraded to 6.10 and noticed it as soon as I finished the update. It may have been happening before that, but I'm not sure.

I tried deleting the new upgrade and putting back a fresh copy of 6.10 without my themes and modules, but only my settings.php file and the same exact error happens.

How can this happen when the recaptcha module isn't even there?

I just got an email notification after I reset cron on the server. The same error is happening then, too.

Probably this has not to do with the upgrade itself. Maybe a mouse slip moved something out of place.

Make sure that you have the recaptcha module at the right place, and also the additional libraries that it requires, according to its README.txt file.

Thanks for the tip. I'll go over the README.txt file closely.

I think I've decided that I don't even want to use the CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA modules at all. Any advice on how to remove them and the error I'm getting completely?

You can remove them like any other module.

Go to the admin/build/modules page, find them, disable them, and save.
Then take a look at the "Uninstall" tab at the top of the page, and if they appear there uninstall them.
Then find the directories with their files and delete them with FTP.

Thanks for your follow-up cog.rusty. I had forgotten there was an Uninstall option. I'd never used it before.

After I did that, I went back to /admin/reports/status and clicked run cron manually again. The same exact error still shows up. Nothing in the README.txt file seems to show any settings that I'd need to check on. I posted an issue at the reCAPTCHA project page, but other than that, I'm not sure what to try now.

I appreciate the responses so far.

Recaptcha includes a mailhide filter module which depends on some of its files. Did you disable that one too?

I've actually disabled everything from CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA and even deleted them from the the modules directory. I've reinstalled, re-enabled, and double checked and everything. I'm stuck.

Thanks for your help so far, cog.rusty.
