Captcha using TTF & GD

[a_berezin]

is there SOME way to make the captcha code as actual words? i've seen that on other sites... seems like a neat way for a captcha.

"captcha code as actual words"? Interesting idea. Give links to those sites.

I think about simple simple math question, like this - http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins...am-protection/

I'm having a problem with the Contact Us page.

I seem to have installed the mod. correctly, and there are no other mods., etc., running on my site to cause conflicts.

Captcha works on the login function, and it works on the captcha_test.php file, but it doesn't work on the Contact Us page for my test shop.

The captcha IS appearing but it's not locking out users (Test dummy one - me)

This means that anyone can enter a message and hit send without completing the captcha and they'd be allowed to go ahead.

I'm running it on Zen 1.3.8a with no other problems (because I've locked everything else out).

I haven't made any modifications that I can recall on the Contact Us template page.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

worldmaker,
Only one suggestions - search for your error.

Thanks for responding.

It's a tricky situation, as it's working perfectly on login and on the captcha_test.php, which suggests the underlying function is okay. But as I mentioned the Contact Us page doesn't stop people.

Only thing I can think of is the I edited the html element of html_elements/define_contact_us.php, but none of the captcha files.

If there are no other alternatives I can either try reloading everything or just switch the contact us function off.

I had the same problem . you need to over ride the hearder_php.php with the one supplied by captcha .. that should work. ( look in pages/contact us / hearder_php.php )

Thanks Tony, but I've done that three times, even deleting the one online to be certain the captcha one was uploaded.

Still got the problem with the Contact Us page.

Not working on Tell-A-Friend either.

Very odd.

Although I don't need it on Tell A Friend, I've enabled it there to see how it compares with Contact Us (not working) and Log In (working).

Log In does enforce the captcha protection but neither Tell A Friend nor Contact Us work.

Does anyone know if there is anything distinct about the special pages, apart from login? I wonder if this is a problem relating to all of them?

Looked. Why do you think that this is better than just a set of random characters?

And what do you think about the math question?

worldmaker,
Maybe you have disable this in admin?
