not a robot recapcha loop at wordpress login - wordpress

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the following issue I am trying to figure out.
On the wordpress backend login a not a robot recapcha appears with the following text: This page is an extra security measure for websites which use WordPress or Joomla!. Before you can log in, you have confirm that you are a human being. You can do this by confirming the reCAPTCHA above.
With the button confirm under it. Passing the recapcha is not a problem, yet when you press on confirm it just refreshes the page and you have to pass the recapcha again and so on in a neverending loop.
I checked everything on the website level. turned off all caching, extensions, made sure all is updated. reinstalled the wordpress version. I checked on multiple browsers, cleaned the history, tried in safe mode and incognito mode. I also asked others to check on their laptop if they see the same thing and they did. Yet nothing solves this problem. Checked the error and access log, nothing out of the ordinary there too.
But.. on smartphones/tablets you can get to the username/password screen without recapcha looping. I did send a mail to google but the response time is not that fast, so it seems.
So I thought maybe someone here has some experience with this problem or knows where the solution needs to be found. Any help in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
I fail to understand why this happens to be honest. Thank you in advance.

My website is showing an error related to googlecm.hit.gemius.pl in console

I have a WordPress website, and I use Adsense. However, for a couple of days, I have noticed these errors in the console, and I don't know what they mean.
All of them are related to this URL: https://googlecm.hit.gemius.pl
The errors are saying:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID
GET googlecm.hit.gemius.pl/googleredir?rid=... net::ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID
I don't know what it is, please clarify this to me.
I was able to figure this out. It was not the plugin, but rather an Ad Network on Google Adsense. All I had to do was go into the Google Adsense >> Blocking Controls >> Content >> Ad Networks. Then type in Gemius and disable all ads from their network. The problem goes away and you get to work with Adsense again.
I don't have the best answer, but ... I noticed my site is doing this too. It's a pretty simple site, with just a few tools some people use. If I disable Google's ads, the error goes away. If I re-enable them, they come back. I double checked ad content, and they're all legitimate.
The requests aren't being generated by my pages. They are only generated by Google's ads.
My site is hand coded, not WP or another CMS, so it can't be a hack or anything. I literally read every line of code related to that page while trying to diagnose it. It wasn't hard, because there aren't many lines of code. :)
So, to make the error go away, you'll need to turn off Google's ads for a while. It really isn't necessary though.
The good news is, that error means nothing was sent to the gemius page. It is simply unreachable right now, for whatever reason. I guess Google will fix it eventually. I don't care enough to open a trouble ticket with them. I'm just considering it a curiosity and annoyance on my otherwise error free pages.

I believe this is related to the plugin Google Ad Inserter. Took me a while to figure out and I'm still trying to clean it up. After removing the plugin a lot of the redirect errors went away and Google was able to index my URL. After going into Chrome developer though I noticed that there was still some redirect errors happening on some resources left behind by Ad Inserter. Once I figure out how to get rid of them I'll post an update. Had a huge impact on my blog though. Almost lost 30% of my page views for the past couple days...

Wordpress not reflecting phpMyAdmin database changes unless I log in

this is I think a really unusual case. A little backstory, I outsourced a PSD to WP project a few months ago, but not currently working with the developer anymore as he stopped replying to my support questions. I'm trying to solve this on my own before I give this to the client, as I have no more budget to hire another developer.
I have two problems, first is I couldn't access the WP dashboard even though my login is an admin account. Been trying to solve this through numerous google searches and blog posts but to no avail, I couldn't fix it.
Here goes my main problem: So I finally found a way how to update the content on the site using the phpMyAdmin backend database. (good thing I know HTML CSS)
I managed to update the content, but when I tested the site using incognito window and other profiles / browsers, the changes from phpMyAdmin does not reflect on the site. I tried logging in, and weirdly, the changes are there. I log out, changes are there.
I just find it really weird and a hassle that I have to log in to see those changes. It's a client facing site, and the changes are really important so I hope someone has experienced this before and can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Can't access site (or admin) - no error messages

Since a couple of days ago our info site (WP) isn't working at all, which is strange because we haven't done any changes lately whatsoever. No error messages shows up and what happens is that it times out (same with admin interface).
It started with a couple of strange error messages that was connected to a couple of plugins (Google maps ready and YouTube widget responsive) and after disabling them through FTP they dissapeared but instead the site just load and load and then times out.
Because no error message is shown and we're not able to access the admin interface it is very hard to know what's wrong here. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this problem?
The site: inteokej.se/info
what I can see is your site is having redirection loop. inteokej.se/info redirects to www.inteokej.se/info and vise versa. try to resolve that.

Wishlist Member redirects some, not all, registrants. Why?

Strange problem with Wishlist Member.
I set up the membership script and sent out a registration URL to 20 or so people who were willing to test-drive the site. However, only a handful of them were able to reach the registration page successfully, whereas the others were redirected to the homepage.
I checked the WLM support where it says this can happen if you enter the destination URL rather than the registration URL, but I definitely didn't do that. I copy and pasted the exact registration URL for that member level.
I've never encountered a problem like this before, where one group of people get one result, but another group get a different result from taking the same action.
I'm in contact with the support guys there, but still looking for a resolution. I upgraded the plugin, made sure everything hit the checklist, and asked those test-drivers to try again. One was able to succeed, the others not.
I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions? It'd be hugely appreciated.

occasional client error fullcalendar.js

I am trying to help sort a friend's issue with their fullcalendar.js implementation.
The problem thus far is the events not loading consistently. Before uploading it to the Godaddy domain it worked every time but is spotty at best now. I looked at the Google developers tools and the credentials are all squared but saw that there is a client error happening however, I'm not sure where to look to fix an occasional problem? I am led to believe it is some sort of server issue but don't know where to start looking.
I don't have any rep so no pics, here is a link to the dashboard.

Any help would be amazing, thanks!
Edit:
I contacted Godaddy to no avail, they said it was Google's issue and I should contact them.. which isn't possible without paying for it.. Also, I found a work around: if I refresh the page navigate away and return it loads correctly.. any ideas on how to code it so if it fails to load I can get the same process?
Hopefully this will help someone else, but...
I fixed my problem by changing the hierarchy of my files. I moved the calendar to the public html folder instead of the nested html folder. It seems as if the Jquery request to Google was getting interrupted or bogged down somehow, but, thus far I'm digging the 100% success rate. If anyone cares to weigh-in further, I'm happy to hear other suggestions.
