   As the title says:
   Googlebot crawl, trying to index captcha images - creating 404 errors

   I am seeing errors with the seoulti plugin for 404s, all of them are si-captcha; googlebot crawling the captcha images.

   Are you aware of this / ETA to fix?

   Here is one example 404 from google crawl:
   "captcha-for-wordpress/captcha-secureimage/securimage_show.php?si_sm_captcha=1&difficulty=1&si_form_id=com&prefix=4Xvsu6z0fgOFDGle"

   Thanks
   Josh Closser

   You should update to the latest version of the plugin because the directory changed from /captcha-secureimage/ to /captcha/

   Put this in a text file and call it robots.txt, put that file in the root directory of your web site.

   User-agent: *
   
   Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/captcha/
   Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/captcha-secureimage/

   w/ or w/o
   It will take time for google to drop the links from the search, maybe even weeks.
