 * No matter what I have tried I can’t seem to get this image to start showing up
   again. Is this a plugin conflict or is it just not serving?

 * Look at this help page:
    [http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/problem-captcha-image](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/problem-captcha-image)
 * This is the problem you have:
    Possible cause #2 – a security rule is blocking
   web access to the plugins directories

 * That did it. Turns out the free Sucuri scanning and security plugin was the culprit.
   The “1-Click Hardening” option to “restrict wp-content access” tweaked the permission
   in the content .htaccess file. After reverting everything seems to be ok now.
   You should list this plugin in the known issues documentation if it exists. Sucks.
   You tune up the security too much and you loose functionality. Hackers……
