Captcha image doesn’t show up

I am having problems getting the captcha image to show up, also. I successfully installed Cryptographp and it worked for about one week. I am a newbie. I did not intentionally change anything, and I began getting an a message that the image could not be displayed.

The image “/wp-content/plugins/cryptographp/crypt/
cryptographp.inc.php?sn=PHPSESSID&” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I deactivated the plugin, removed it from my server, installed a clean copy, activated the new copy and put the PHP code into my comments.php file. Still no image. When I uploaded the plug-in files onto my server, I noticed that the permissions were 664 so I changed them to 755. That di dnot help, either.

I do have GD on my server.

Any help is greatly appreciated. The plugin was working so well…

I also had the same problem, but I fixed it downloading the last version of the Cryptographp library (https://www.cryptographp.com) and I changed the files of the old crypt folder for the new ones. Then, I noticed I couldn’t save the changes in the settings. To fix this, I deleted the .php files from the new captcha and uploaded the old .php files.
Now I can see the captcha when I want to comment and change the settings from the WordPress administration panel.

@isb1009 – So you downloaded the newest version of the Cryptographp library and replaced the <b>crypt</b> directory (inside the plugin) with that. That worked for me as well!

isb1009 – great solution. Thank you so much.

I, too, was able to get the captcha image to show up! However, I am stuck at the point where I cannot save my settings from the WordPress administration panel. I have tried replacing the four new php files in the \crypt\ directory with the four original files from the WordPress library. When I replace all four, the image disappears, again. I then tried replacing them one at a time and could not get a combination that worked.

Which new php files did you replace iwth your older files?

You’re welcome, deniserose.
The files I replaced with the old ones were all the php files inside the plugin’s crypt directory (cryptographp.cfg.php, cryptographp.fct.php, cryptographp.inc.php and cryptographp.php).

If it doesn’t work, deactivate the plugin, delete the files, upload the original files of the plugin (not the new cryptographp files) and, then, replace the /crypt/images/ and /crypt/fonts/ with the new cryptographp files. If it doesn’t work, perhaps is because I don’t explain the steps very well.

PS: If you want to comment in English in my blog, don’t worry, you can. I understand and speak it quite well.

I’ve created a .zip file with all the changed files, so if you don’t understand my explanations, you can use it as a normal plugin installation.

Not getting the image to appear and could use some help. Downloaded v1.2 of the plugin and uploaded, activated, and put the php function in comments.php. Then downloaded v1.4 of the crypt files from the the cryptographp website and saved them over the ones from the plugin. Still nothing. Thanks for suggestions.
