    The same issue existed on 3.4 and does on 3.5. HumanCaptcha is not accepting the correct answer entered into the captcha field and returns an error message to try again. This is consistently happening on multiple WordPress sites.

    I attempted to retype all of the answers and update the Human Captcha questions in the settings but that did not rectify the issue.

    Same issue here.

    I had to FTP my site and rename the plugin folder name to remove it…

    Hi there

    That sounds very strange. Can you give me some more details (e.g. questions and the answers themselves plus the version of WP that you’re running) so that I can investigate further please?

    Many thanks.

    It started on 3.4. Existed on 3.5. Still exists on 3.5.1.
    It is happening across multiple sites so you are looking at maybe 50 or so Q&A none of which are working.

    The Captcha is running on our registration page. We also run PHPBB Single Sign On plugin.

    What information would you like to know?

    Stephanie,

    Please can you give me an example of a question you’ve asked (exact wording) and the answer (exact characters)? Also, what’s your domain name – so that I can see it in action.

    In my case, the question is:

    If A turns C, and 4 turns 6, what will 1 turn into?

    And the answer is:

    3

    Or this question:

    What fruit is yellow and has 3 of the letter A?

    And this answer:

    banana

    OK, this does not seem to be an issue with the plugin. My site log shows this error:

    /var/www/vhosts/[removed]/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/humancaptcha/outerbridge-humancaptcha.php on line 394
    [Sun Mar 31 17:13:19 2013] [warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_6r9rm26d61bi6imrkuu1guesf4, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
    [Sun Mar 31 17:13:19 2013] [warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php/session) in Unknown on line 0

    line 394 has session_start();

    So clearly the server configuration is wrong. Might be because of the upgrade to 3.5.1, might be because I’ve change the php mode to FastCGI.

    Anyhow, the host fixed this.

    Thanks for letting me know, Izhaki. Glad you’ve sorted it out.
