Hi,

I urgently need to put some security on my client's forms on their website as they are getting loads of spam.

I can't get Captcha or reCAPTCHA to work on the Wordpress website (I've used it on Joomla for years without any issues).

Captcha: Image doesn't show. In the area that calls in the image I get this: src="http://owlmedia.co.za/Andersens/index.php?page=Chronoforms5&act=render&action=load_captcha&chronoform=contact_us&action_id=6&tvout=ajax"
Using the code inspector in FF it says 'could not load the image' when I hover over that code.

reCAPTCHA: In the code area where the validation block is supposed to load, I only get this text: {ReCaptcha}

The actual website is http://andersens.com.au/contact-us
I've made a copy of the site to test the captcha on because I can't leave it hanging on the live site: http://owlmedia.co.za/Andersens/contact-us/

Test login details:
/wp-admin
user: testuser
pass: TestingUser@1346

Hello adadeacon,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
Can I use ReCaptcha in another language?
How do I add a ReCaptcha to my form?
How to add a custom ReCaptcha theme
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi adadeacon,

Unfortunately Captcha may not work on WP, for the reason you posted, no direct url to the form page!

But ReCaptcha should, and also the security question or the honeypot!

Just make sure that you have a "Load ReCaptcha" action ABOVE the HTML action ?

Hi Max,

I ended up doing a workaround using another plugin just to pull in the ReCaptcha.

I first set up the form with the simple setup mode, then noticed that the ReCaptcha doesn't load so I changed to the advanced mode and manually pulled in the Load ReCaptcha and Check ReCaptcha events.
Even with this, the ReCaptcha area still just showed up blank.

So I installed a plugin called Simple reCAPTCHA and used its code in a custom element in the form to call in ReCaptcha and now it works.

Are you working on a fix to make Captcha work for WP? It would be really nice because it's so nice and compact compared to ReCaptcha.

I've bought a 3 site license for Chronoforms because it's really great, but it would be nice if these small WP issues can be ironed out.

Hi adadeacon,

You need 2 things to get the reCaptcha to display, the reCaptcha field + the "Load ReCaptcha" action ABOVE the HTML action.

Then you will need the "Check ReCaptcha" action to check the results.

I have the WP issues on my todo list, but I'm blocked by the fact that I can't find some native way to load a plugin page on the WP frontend, AFAIK, plugins content can be loaded inside an existing page or post, but I need to load it on its own page in order to fix the WP issues.

Regards,
Max
