• I didn’t bother to check the code, but it seems like a simple JavaScript validation without any real back-end confirmation. I noticed it immediately because I use a special login widget on my front page.

    The login script doesn’t actually require a captcha to have ever been filled in, which means that every single bot could easily circumvent it. The captcha is in effect just a nuisance. The plugin is pointless.

  • Hi hebw,

    Captcha will be working on the standard login page only. In case you are using a custom login page, and you would like to add captcha and its checking to this page, please follow the instructions below.
    1. Install the Captcha plugin and activate it.
    2. Open the file with the form (where you would like to add the captcha to).
    3. Find a place to insert the code for the captcha output.
    4. Insert the necessary lines:

    if( function_exists( 'cptch_display_captcha_custom' ) ) { echo "<input
    type='hidden' name='cntctfrm_contact_action' value='true' />"; echo
    cptch_display_captcha_custom() } ;

    If the form is HTML you should insert the line with the PHP tags:

    <?php
    if( function_exists( 'cptch_display_captcha_custom' ) ) { echo
    "<input type='hidden' name='cntctfrm_contact_action' value='true'
    />"; echo cptch_display_captcha_custom(); } ?>

    5. Then you should add the lines to the function of the entered data checking

    if( function_exists( 'cptch_check_custom_form' ) &&
    cptch_check_custom_form() !== true ) echo "Please complete the
    CAPTCHA."

    or

    <?php if( function_exists(
    'cptch_check_custom_form' ) && cptch_check_custom_form() !==
    true ) echo "Please complete the CAPTCHA." ?>

    You could add this line to the variable and display this variable in the
    required place instead of echo "Please complete the CAPTCHA.". If
    there is a variable (responsible for the errors output) in the check
    function, this phrase can be added to this variable. If the function
    returns ‘true’, it means that you have entered captcha properly. In all
    other cases the function will return ‘false’.
