Hi there
On my customized booking form I’ve been using the captcha option. It all worked fine up until today.
-> php-gd support is still working
The captcha-image doesn’t get created/shown anymore. In the HTML-code I only get a source-attribute looking like that
src=”?eme_captcha=generate&f=5d22fe3c3e0bf_a8029e5af9e5bf665be9014a7ea383a5&ts=1562574396”
Do others have the same problem? Is that releated to the recent update of EME?
Thank you for your input.
Thank you for the quick reply.
I’m using solely the #_CAPTCHA placeholder (not the deprecated CAPTCHAHTML)
… (cut)
<div class=”twelve columns”><label for=”captcha”>Sicherheitscode</label>
#_CAPTCHA</div>
</div>
#_SEATS
#_SUBMIT

Additional info: I installed the Google reCaptcha-plugin recently. But I deactivated it and the problem still exists. So I don’t think it does interfere somehow with EME.
I’m guessing something is blocking access to the captcha url, you should check your webserver logfiles for more info …
Ok. Thanks. Will check.
I could solve the problem by changing some coding in “function.php”.
I still don’t know what EXACTLY created the malfunction. I’ll figure it out though.Anyway, thanks Frank.
Not talking about “eme-functions.php” of your plugin.
I was applying some changes in “functions.php” of WordPress.
I have the exact same problem as you mickey.
The image does not get generated. Any clue on your end?
Thanks!The only way the image doesn’t get generated is if the php extension gd is not loaded, or if you haven’t activated the EME option to use the captcha for forms (in the EME options, tab “General”).
Me too, it happened I think 2 EME updates ago, it wasn’t like this in december/beginning of january.
I just removed the captcha alltogether and enabled the ‘honey pot’ feature. Hope that helps, no spams as of yet.
The captcha should work just fine. EME detects if php-gd is installed and active for it to be used, but otherwise I don’t see a reason for it not working.
@G_Woman : any info on the captcha? If possible/wanted: give me temp access to some test site or so, so I can see if something easy needs fixing.
Sorry, just read your comment. Send you the temp access.
Could it be, btw, that your CAPTCHA registration is unvalid? I read somewhere that Google gives this x-amount of tries, after that it blocks the captcha. Or maybe I’m just saying nonsense, :-SThe captcha is not google-related, so it is not invalid.
I checked your theme: it inserts an empty line at the top. I edited the header.php file and removed the empty line, but I assume some caching is still going on as the empty line remains. If you can clear the cache (or remove the empty line in the theme if not in header.php) then the image will appear just fine.Oh ok, my bad.
I couldn’t see that blank line in header.php anymore. And it still shows the broken captcha.
I didn’t know I could remove cache from my website? I installed a plugin, but it couldn’t remove any.Sorry, how to do that? I already removed cookies from my webbrowser.
Well, in the html output the empty line is still present. I’m not sure who’s generating that line …
I edited the EME plugin to hook into wordpress even earlier (there’s a hook called “init”, but apparently setup_theme comes before that and also before the theme gets loaded). This seems to resolve the empty-line issue causing the image not to show.Due to the fact that some themes/plugins add an empty line at the top of the html output rendered, this renders programmatically rendered images unusable. I’m now moving that action higher up the chain (before the theme is even being called), so this should work better. I’m still evaluating the possible issues with this, but it is looking ok so far.
Well, that sounds very smart to me, even though I don’t quite understand it. Great work as usual! It’s working perfect now!
I feel that getting rid of this captcha procedure and investing in recaptcha integration will greatly reduce your time in supporting this outdated feature. 😉
recaptcha has other limitations: first of all, it is a google product with usage limits (the same reason why I switched to openstreetmap in the first place). Second: it has issues with multiple forms on one page (which is requested to be possible). Basic code is in place, but I’m reluctant to spend time on that if the second issue can’t get resolved …
Seems you can have multiple recaptchas on one page. You just have to put multiple div elements for the recaptchas and render the recaptchas inside them explicitly.
Hoping this helps
Well, it took me some hours but I think I got the recaptcha working (only v2 with the checkbox, otherwise too much playing needed with javascript).
Sorry Franky, was that a reply on my question in another thread? I read your words like 3 times, but couldn’t process them. I’ll try again this evening, hopefully then I understand what you are explaining.😂
Np, I would also get confused by a user opening 23538534543 threads XD
Can you confirm the exact procedure to put in place a Google Recaptcha?
Thanks!
