Personally I eventually decided to disable the plugin and install Disqus using the universal JavaScript code: https://mrmv2.disqus.com/admin/universal/

The downside is that Disqus won’t sync back to WordPress, but you can export your WordPress comments and import them into your Disqus account regardless, so it did enough for my needs.

I will still be interested to see any progress or updates on this issue though.

Did this problem ever get resolved?

I appear to be encountering similar symptoms and I’d be interested to know if a solution was found.

plugins_lexblog, if you’re worried about future updates breaking your stuff (And so you should be!) a possible solution is to copy that function in it’s entirety to your own functions.php for example.

Rename it, and change every reference to it in your code to your new name.

The added benefit of this is you can mess with the function to make it return more of what you specifically want, strip out unnecessary bits if you have the knowhow – For example, to make it return just the SRC of the image and go from there.

Then if they change their function in future, yours should be left unharmed, which is at least a little bit safer.

Obviously in an ideal world you wouldn’t do this, but it might give you a little bit more peace of mind if you’re set on going down this route.

This thread has tags, and shows up here:

and here:

Is that what you meant? Or are you referring to something else I’m not aware of?

Reached out on Twitter and sent an email to Tweetblender AT gmail dot com, which I assume the plugin author must check at some point.

No post by him on this forum in over 300 days though, could be that the plugin isn’t actively maintained anymore…

A while later it’s become evident that the above actually has a nasty habit of stopping emails being sent, so maybe it isn’t a good idea after all!

Just thought I’d share something that appears to work for me, though I’m not sure yet if it has any negative implications for the use of the plugin.

If you open really-simple-captcha.php and head to line 190 you’ll see:

foreach ( $suffixes as $suffix ) {
			$filename = sanitize_file_name( $prefix . $suffix );
			$file = trailingslashit( $this->tmp_dir ) . $filename;
			if ( is_file( $file ) )
				unlink( $file );
		}

Line 190 is the line indicated in the error message you may either get back in your POST response, or displayed on the page if JavaScript is turned off.

I decided that this functionality can’t be that important so I changed this section to:

foreach ( $suffixes as $suffix ) {
			$filename = sanitize_file_name( $prefix . $suffix );
			$file = trailingslashit( $this->tmp_dir ) . $filename;
			if ( is_file( $file ) ){
				//Commented this out because it breaks things and makes me sad.
				//unlink( $file );
			}
		}

This seems to do the trick for me, really annoying issue, hopefully it gets sorted at some point soon.
