captcha issue.. always asks to login to website

agira 19 Aug, 2014

Hi

I running chronoform on my website and now added the captcha. For that reason I load the captcha "on load"

Everything works fine. However as soon as I switch to the website where the form is listed (as a module) a message pop's up with the message "if you want to see content of this page you must login" and asking for login and password as if there is an .htacess file with .htpasswd behind, which is not. This only happens on the pages where the form is started and the captcha is loaded.

As soon as I remove the captcha from "on load" in the component form this message disappears.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks

Hi Agira,

Do you have the "refresh button" enabled in the captcha settings ? if yes then please disable it, since this image is in the admin folder of Chronoforms, and it looks like your admin area is secured by .htaccess auth

Max

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Hi Max

What a quick response... and you are right I protect the admin area.
I disabled the "refresh button" and it works!

Thanks a lot

There's another solution. I have this problem also, but I want the refresh button.

for v4, Just place a .htaccess file in:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/load_captcha/

for v5:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/actions/load_captcha/

with:

# allows any user to see this directory
Satisfy Any
