    No, I have no idea for now. Captchas are working on my site with the latest WordPress.

    Hello again
    I have checked with my hosting company, I have asked them this:

    Hello For my blog made with Word Press, I have added a form with some Captcha http://www.thierrydehove.com/25-years-in-this-business/custom-web-banner-des ign-form/
    As you can see these images dont appeared. And they say: To use CAPTCHA, you need GD and FreeType library installed on your server. Also, the contact-form-7/captcha/tmp folder must be writable. Contact Form 7 1.8 and later require wp-contents/uploads/wpcf7_captcha folder writable, instead of contact-form-7/captcha/tmp.

    I have chmod usr/home/tanamalt/public_html/thierrydehove.com/wp-content/plugins/really-si mple-captcha by 777

    and they replied to me:
    From your description, it sounds like the setup should be correct. When loading the http://www.thierrydehove.com/25-years-in-this-business/custom-web-banner-design-form page, no errors are generated in the Apache logs. You will most likely need to contact the maker of this particular software for advice on how to resolve the problem.

    What do you think ?
    for information, I didn't find this file "tmp".. maybe it's the answer ?

    Please let me know,
    Thanks in advance, Thierry

    Hi !

    I'm having the same problem i think...

    When i use the plugin with the Contact Form 7, it tryes to load the captcha image from: "/wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha/"

    But the temp / image files are stored in this folder:

    "/wp-content/wpcf7_captcha/" - How can i change that ???

    Kind regards,
    Morten

    I manage several websites all with the latest version of WP. I'm working on another one, and the image isn't showing up for the CAPTCHA in the comment form I made with Contact Form 7. It's working on a ton of sites, just not this new one. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    Just posting to confirm that this plugin does work with 2.8.4, at first images did not show up but all I had to do was chmod the wpc7_captcha folder to give it the correct write permissions.

    If you have problems :
    1) Check your upload path (settings->micellaneous)
    2) For Contact form 7, check that the "wpcf7_captcha" folder exist in your upload path
    3) Check on the server that the folder have the write permissions.

    I had exactly the same problem - WP v2.8.5, Really Simple Captcha v1.0, used with Contact Form 8. In FF the image box was a blank white rectangle. In IE the box had the word "captcha" in it.

    Thanks to MagicG, I traced my problem to the Upload Path - which in WP v2.8.4 was correct (and thus Captcha worked on that version) but when I migrated my app to a new directory for v2.8.5, the Upload Path still pointed at the old 2.8.4 upload location. Correcting Upload Path cured the problem.

    I have also updated to Captcha v1.1 and it's working fine.
