Captcha images not showing

  • I have a website using Contact 7 forms and Really simple Captcha. It is working perfectly.

    However… I cloned that site to a dev site to make changes to it. Once those changes are approved, I will migrate the devsite into the public_html folder where it will be the public site. So basically, the devsite should be an exact copy of the public site.

    Yet, the captcha images that are supposed to show up for the sender to type in do not show up on the devsite. They do show up perfectly on the public site.

    Please help me resolve this issue.

    Thanks, Earl

  • Just found this out the hard way too:

    CAPTCHA does not work; the image does not show up.
    Really Simple CAPTCHA needs GD and FreeType library installed on your server. Ask your server administrator if they are installed.

    Also, make the temporary file folder writable. The location of the temporary file folder is managed by the instance variable tmp_dir of ReallySimpleCaptcha class. Note that the setting varies depending on the calling plugin. For example, Contact Form 7 uses wp-contents/uploads/wpcf7_captcha as the temporary folder basically, but it can use different folder depending on your settings.

    Thanks for your ideas, but don’t think any of this is the solution, as the dev site that doesn’t show the images is an exact copy of the public site that does work and shows the images, so this can’t be a folder issue Also, both are hosted on the same server, so this can’t be a server issue.
    Unless I’m missing some nuance of your idea.

    TECH SUPPORT, are you able to help?
