paperweight Hello and thanks in advanced for your help. I built som forms using simple Really Simple Captcha but, i don´t know why, the Really Simple Captcha code sometimes shoes up, others not (showing just a broken image link). For that reason i tried to use wp-reCaptcha because its a more powerful plugin but when i try to install it it shows up the message "Fatal Error" and the plugins doesn't instal. Can you please help me with this? Maybe it´s a theme conflict? I's using the Directory Portal Wordpress Theme (refere to your posts on forum http://wedevs.com/support/topic/need-help-with-wp_postmeta-fields/). Its the same theme. By the way, great job from retroga_me user. He is talking about your plugin in the themes forum and many people are interested... I´ve bought because of his advise about your plugin. You should offer him a good beer :) Thank you very much again for your help

You don’t have to install any reCaptcha plugin to enable reCaptcha. It’s already built-in with the plugin.

Aah, nice. Kudos to @retroga_me, he offered me 6 pack of beer too 😀

I think I found a small bug in Opera and Firefox when using Really Simple Captcha in a form with WPUF:

If a user has incorrect data in a textfield and tries ot submit form, a pop-up window will say an error and give user ability to re-enter data. However, the Really Simple Captcha does not reload/refresh, so the user can not submit forum because the form says the user did not enter correct Really Simple Captcha code correctly.

So it seems the only way to correct this now is to refresh the entire page, but then the user loses all the data he entered previously.

So, the solution is to make the Really Simple Captcha reload automatically or have a button next to it that reloads it. Does anyone have another idea for fixinf this?

Let me explain how the really simple captcha works: when you load the page, an actual image is created by really simple captcha’s tmp folder. When you submit the form, that image is being matched with the entered data. The image is still there if the validation doesn’t succeed and will work until it’s deleted, it’s only deleted if the data is matched.

Don’t know your case, I’ve to re-check.

Thanks for your help

The simple captcha maybe don´t work because i´m using w3 total cache and if someone tries to reload the page or visit the page again the plugin probably reloads the cache and the image of the simple captcha just shows as a image broken link.

Anyway..recaptcha works fine and i´m using it.

Thank you again

Best

Yes I think my problem may have been solved too. Again I think it was a conflict with Theme My Login, because after I deleted some form field authentication from Theme My Login, the WPUF seems to load fine now and also captcha seems fine too ~
