HumanCaptcha Not Accepting Correct Answers

    I’m sure this is the second time I’ve tried the plugin, and on getting the error ‘remembered’ I got it last time too (on an earlier version of WP).

    Also, I see another thread for the same issue (but opened a new one because it was marked ‘resolved’). There seem to be two people reporting issues on that one, with only the latter giving enough information and actually concluding that it was his server’s fault rather than the plugin’s. It MAY be my issue too … to be honest, not knowledgeable enough to check … but I hope not. The plugin is ideal – far better than the dreaded CAPTCHA – and easy to ‘tweak’ presentation wise, if only I could get it to actually work! ??

    Can’t give you a real link to a demo of the problem as I was trying it out on an off-line WAMP server and haven’t uploaded it to the ‘live’ site because I couldn’t get it working. However, if you give me 24 hours from this notification, I’ll be uploading some other changes, and activating the plugin to demo the issue shouldn’t be too much of a hardship.

    Initially tweaked the default questions a bit to fit the site (e.g. “How many legs do 2 spiders have? Answer as a number” with the answer “16” became “How many legs do two spiders have?” with ‘Enter a lowercase word’ as a placeholder in the INPUT element and an answer of “sixteen”). However, when that wouldn’t accept the answer I uninstalled then reinstalled the plugin to check that something I’d done hadn’t broken it. Same “wrong answer” screen using the default questions with an un-tampered with copy of the plugin.

    Hope this is enough of the right kind of information, without being too long winded. I’d love to get it to work, even if that means admitting I’ve done something wrong, or not done something I should have! ??

    Hi Michael

    Thanks for taking the time to write such a good explanation of the issue. I look forward to taking a look at your site, and fixing this once and for all…

    Hi Mike

    I’ve activated the plugin … you can test it at:

    Plugin test at s-t-u-f-f

    It’s a ‘clean’ install of the plugin, so it’s using the ‘default’ questions and answers. Also, I’ve just realised – having then half hoped it would still not work and half hoped that it would! – that this behaviour is occurring on two different ‘servers’ … the shared one my ‘live’ website is hosted on, and my own PC acting a a ‘dummy’ server using WAMP for testing and developing.

    Please excuse the ‘look’ of the site right now. I’m in the process of upgrading to WP3.6 along with some other plugins such as BuddyPress and it had some effects which I’m ironing out off-line then uploading the correct stuff. Depending on how quickly you have time to take a look, the page MAY look a little odd (hmm … actually, quite a bit, from what I’ve just seen!).

    Hope you can figure out why it’s not working as it should. If you need me to add / change stuff, or need more information, just ask. I’ll be playing just about all day, so tweaking things to ‘test’ won’t be a problem.

    Best regards

    Can I add another question … for which hopefully there’s an easy answer – besides ‘no’, obviously …

    Is there a (relatively easy) way to have the question show between the entered comment text and the ‘Post comment’ button, instead of between the ‘Who are you’ fields and the comment text?

    Just seems logical to me that that’s where it should go … this is who I am, then this is what I want to say, then “Say it”. The ‘captcha’ is part of the ‘say it’ process, but every captcha I’ve seen puts it in the same place yours does with no option to put it somewhere else. Perhaps it’s just ‘easier’ to put it where it is?

    Hi Michael,

    Please can you e-mail ([email protected]) me admin logon details so I can see the set-up?

    Thanks,
