CAPTCHA isn't showing the image code.

[Anonymous]

Hi I tried and atctivated the Captcha function on the Settings/rsvp tab.

The Text “fill in the code” apperars but where the codeimages is supposed to be its only a broken imagelink to the captcha.php.

The captcha.php. is present on my server. What have I done wrong.

(Had to deativate it since I have an add out for my events and need the bookings to work.)

The captcha image only appears if you have the php-GD extension installed.

Ok – yes but no.

I mean How do i get that? Guessing its something that has to be installed on my server or is there a wordpress plugin.

it’s a php addon, nothing to do with wordpress itself. If you don’t know how: ask your sys admin

Well, there’re things wrong with your server: phpinfo() doesn’t show the variables _SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”] and others (maybe your provider removes those), that’s why the script doesn’t work.

But it’s easy to fix: just go in the file wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy/captcha.php and remove the following 4 lines at the top (I don’t think they’re needed anyway):

if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) || !strrchr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {

echo "no abuse allowed";

exit;

}

That should help.

Thank you but no – the removing of the 4 lines didnt do the trick

Is there any way to make a field that simply is required and that only allows a spcifique word. And then just write that word… in the text or something.

Not really no. I also include a hidden honeypot-field though, a spambot fills that in and then is caught (because I check that it stays empty).

But in your case: check your webserver error logfiles. I see nothing when I go to

http://annasbyra.se/wpx/wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy/captcha.php

(after you removed the 4 lines), which means some error in your logfiles must indicate why …

Thanks for all your effort! I will send this conversation to the provider.
