 * recaptcha is jus too much and sometimes is slow ..i just want a simple captcha..
   already tried ‘cryptograph- images not readable’ and ‘simple captcha – does not
   work’
 * anything else in captcha tools which is just simple and works ?

 * Make sure you copy the “simple_captcha” directory only into ur “wp-content/plugins”
   directory.
 * The correct path to the image shud be [http://yourURL.com/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/gdimg.php](http://yourURL.com/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/gdimg.php)
 * Try execute and see whether the images are loading? If not, check the path of
   the plugin. You might need to CHMOD the directory to 0755 (*nix)

 * the directory was simple-captcha and not simple_captcha
 * since then i renamed it to simple_captcha and activated the plugin it has started
   to work..
 * **this simple problem would have been solved if the original filename was itself
   named correctly.**
 * i request the author to again zip the files to simple_captcha.1.2.zip to avoid
   hassles for other users.

 * It does not help me. Here is a path of source code from the comment page:
 *     ```
       Security Code:<br>
   
               <input name="publicKey" style="width: 90px;" maxlength="6" tabindex="5" class="textfield" type="text">
               </td>
               <td align="left" valign="bottom" width="100">
               <img id="simple_captcha" src="http://192.168.1.100/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/gdimg.php?re=0" title="Simple CAPTCHA v1.2 by zorex" alt=""></td>
               <td align="left" valign="bottom">
               <img src="http://192.168.1.100/wp-content/plugins/simple_captcha/captcha_reload.gif" onclick="setTimeout('reloadCaptcha()', 300)" style="cursor: pointer;" title="Request a new image" alt="">
       ```
   
 * As a result i see this [image](http://212.1.243.64/test/captcha.jpg)
 * The directory permission 0755

 * Hi all
 * I was having this same issue. I think the plugin will have a broken link to the
   image if your wordpress install *is not* on your root directory *and* you configured
   your blog to still point to the root directory.
 * (For instance, your wp install is in “domain.com/wordpress” but your blog displays
   at “domain.com”)
 * The reason is the “bloginfo(url)” call inside the zrx_captcha.inc.php file in
   the simple_captcha directory. If you feel adventurous, open that file in a text
   editor (can’t edit plugin through WP backend) and replace all instances of “bloginfo(
   url)” for “bloginfo(wpurl).”
 * wpurl points to your install URL instead of your blog URL. This worked for me(
   see here revistaelite.com).
