Sad, the first time when I didn't alter the captcha.php file, I got the image to appear, but when u submit a comment, there was an error. After changing the path, the image wouldn't appear ever since. And now after reuploading fresh files, the plugin doesn't appear in the Manage Plugins Sad. I really wanted to install this. My other blog was spammed with comments, and thought this could be a solution. Whats happening Crying or Very sad!

I was getting the same error as above...The way I solved it is by putting the full path into /plugins/captcha.php



Code:


//Include the captcha class to check the code

add_action('head', 'include_the_class');



function include_the_class() {



@include '/yourpath/plugins/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php';

}




This is towards the bottom...just add your path in the include.



Hope this helps you guys!

I installed this plugin.

I can see confirmation code, but cannot add comment.

The result is "blank page" - there is no news in main area of page, and of courese comment not added.



Anyone can help me ?



Edit: The solution in my site:

Code:


@include 'path_to_news/plugins/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php';



Example



@include 'news/plugins/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php';

Hi all,



Have the same problem as joshers:



Code:


Please enter the numbers from the image.

go back





You can go back and try again but the problem remains the same. It is asif it doesn't post what you put into the box...



Can this be related to Natasha's fix for the "Undefined class name 'phpcaptcha' in /homepages/12/d146872239/htdocs/plugins/captcha.php on line 48" problem?

I'm still struggling with this. I have left it activated so you guys can see what happens:

http://www.hookedgamers.com/index.php/2006/09/26/the-best-gaming-video-cards-october-2006.html



I think the code is somehow not stored in the session or something like that. It is always wrong.



Additionally, I very often have one letter (the last) white. The white is totally unreadable...



Anyone any ideas?

Had to disable it again... If no one has any ideas of how to fix this, it looks like this mod is not going to work for me then. Sad

So did you try it or do you fear it's not working because of the posts above?

Well, considering that the problems with this plugin don't seem to be taken seriously, it looks like I will need to disable commenting. Spam is out of control (nearly 1000 spam posts last month)



Some last information:



- Installed the plugin just fine

- Had to use natasha's fix because the plugin does not properly detect the directory it is in, causing the error in line 48 (come on, this should be fixable)

- After installing, it doesn't work.



Problem 1:

The image is generated with 5 numbers (I hope) but 1 of them is not visible 9 out of 10 times because it is rendered in white. The background is white as well so you cannot see it properly. The plugin should not be allowed to render white characters.



Problem 2:

When you do get a complete code with 5 characters, you post them and this happens:



Code:


Please enter the numbers from the image.

go back

Please enter the numbers from the image.

go back





Odd that it shows this twice, odd that it doesn't work, I make 100% sure that what I type is what is on the image.



For now, I will disable comments but I find this such a big issue that I will probably start looking for a replacement of Cutenews....

The plugin works great. It's your server causing the problems.

The plugin is not able to create white characters because it randomly picks colors ranging from 0 to 100 (rgb). But white is 255,255,255 (rgb).

Comments are often flooded after a couple of days (after being picked up by search engines). Maybe one can create a plugin which disables comments after a day or two.
