Description
With this plugin you can easily install and use Ironclad CAPTCHA in your WordPress blog. 3D captcha renders several intersecting colored and rotated objects and asks user to count objects of some type. Humans can easily do it (much easier than read twisted text) and bots can’t do it at all and never will. Moreover, this captcha stops even spammers with human-based recognition of captchas, as Ironclad CAPTCHA has very unusual answer entering process. Just install the plugin, register and get API key on the official site (for free) and forget about spam forever.

FAQ
Q: Can I change the look and feel of CAPTCHA or make it fit my blog’s design?
A: Sure! All styles are contained in “wp-content/plugins/ironclad-captcha/captcha.css”. You can change it as you like.
Q: I don’t like “Are you a human?” string. I want to type there something different. How can I do this?
A: Log into your Iconclad CAPTCHA account (where you got your API-key), click on Settings link next to the name of your site/blog and change this or several other settings.
Q: My captcha appears under “Send comment” button. Is it possible to move it ABOVE that button?
A: Yes, but due to some limitations of WP you should do it by hand. Don’t worry, it’s quite easy! Open “wp-content/themes” folder of your WP installation and locate folder with the name of the color theme you use in your WP now. Then locate “comments.php” file inside that folder and change the following string:
ID); ?>
You should move it several lines upper, to make it right below the line with < textarea > definition. Save the file and upload it to your WP site if you edited it locally.
In some versions of WordPress these lines are in wp-includes/comment-template.php file. You should move specified lines above, right before ‘
<
p class=”form-submit”>’.
