image for captcha does not load?? :(

don’t know about that, but reCAPTCHA plugin works fine for me.

recaptcha is jus too much and sometimes is slow ..i just want a simple captcha..already tried ‘cryptograph- images not readable’ and ‘simple captcha – does not work’

anything else in captcha tools which is just simple and works ?

Make sure you copy the “simple_captcha” directory only into ur “wp-content/plugins” directory.

The correct path to the image shud be https://yourURL.com/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/gdimg.php

Try execute and see whether the images are loading? If not, check the path of the plugin. You might need to CHMOD the directory to 0755 (*nix)

the directory was simple-captcha and not simple_captcha

since then i renamed it to simple_captcha and activated the plugin it has started to work..

this simple problem would have been solved if the original filename was itself named correctly.

i request the author to again zip the files to simple_captcha.1.2.zip to avoid hassles for other users.

@zorex

thanks a lot.. tip helped ??

It does not help me. Here is a path of source code from the comment page:

Security Code:<br>

        <input name="publicKey" style="width: 90px;" maxlength="6" tabindex="5" class="textfield" type="text">
        </td>
        <td align="left" valign="bottom" width="100">
        <img id="simple_captcha" src="https://192.168.1.100/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/gdimg.php?re=0" title="Simple CAPTCHA v1.2 by zorex" alt=""></td>
        <td align="left" valign="bottom">
        <img src="https://192.168.1.100/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/captcha_reload.gif" onclick="setTimeout('reloadCaptcha()', 300)" style="cursor: pointer;" title="Request a new image" alt="">

As a result i see this image

The directory permission 0755

Hi all

I was having this same issue. I think the plugin will have a broken link to the image if your wordpress install *is not* on your root directory *and* you configured your blog to still point to the root directory.

(For instance, your wp install is in “domain.com/wordpress” but your blog displays at “domain.com”)

The reason is the “bloginfo(url)” call inside the zrx_captcha.inc.php file in the simple_captcha directory. If you feel adventurous, open that file in a text editor (can’t edit plugin through WP backend) and replace all instances of “bloginfo(url)” for “bloginfo(wpurl).”

wpurl points to your install URL instead of your blog URL. This worked for me (see here revistaelite.com).

hi!

can someone please help me?

I am not able to Sign up to many sites because I’m not able to see the security image CAPCHA. It is just not loading. Does someone knows how to fix this? I’m using Firefox 3 and Windows XP. Do I have to download something in particular? Please, explain in detail if you have a solution.

Thanks for help!

Traced captcha image not displaying to the .htaccess file in wp-content directory

Can anyone provide .htaccess line that would enable image to be displayed?
