Captcha image not loading in IE 11

+1 vote it is not working on chrome or IE or any browser. the Captcha image is broken.

@vikasumit – Not working in any browser is a different issue. Please start a new thread, thanks.

@ annanewfoundry – Can you provide a link to the site for testing?

Testing using SauceLabs:

Win7, IE 11 – Captcha loads fine
Win8.1, IE 11 – Captcha loads fine

I suspect the missing ingredient is something about your setup, so a link would be helpful.

Nick, Thanks for the response and the link! The problem was indeed on my end, and I thought I’d post my findings here in case they’re of use to anyone else. I’d been redirecting subscribers away from admin pages like this:

//prevent subscribers from visiting /wp-admin
function redirect_admin(){
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) ){
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘redirect_admin’ );

Not surprisingly, this causes problems when non-logged-on users visited my contact form. The call to the admin script fetching the captcha image was getting redirected.

Thanks again for your help and for your work in the support forums!
