 * Hi,
 * I have such a difficult time trying to install recaptcha plugin into wordpress
   3.0.2 MU.
 * im using linux centos 5.5 and kloxo control panel for my webhosting. i think 
   this shouldnt matter but who knows.
 * i followed the instructions from here:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/installation/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/installation/)
 * To install in WordPress MU (Forced Activation/Site-Wide):
 * 1- Upload the wp-recaptcha folder to the /wp-content/mu-plugins directory
    2-
   Move the wp-recaptcha.php file out of the wp-recaptcha folder so that it is in/
   wp-content/mu-plugins 3- Now you should have /wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-recaptcha.
   php and /wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-recaptcha/ 4- Go to the administrator menu 
   and then go to Site Admin > reCAPTCHA Get the reCAPTCHA keys here and/or the 
   MailHide keys here
 * * I dont see any reCAPTCHA in the site admin ? where is this ?
    * do i need to
   install recaptcha also in plugins directory ? * do i need to set any permission
   to mu-plugins ? * recaptcha file is in zip, do i unzip in windows first, then
   transfer files one by one using ftp ?

   doesnt even load.

 * I got the same problem.
 * I got it to “work” though by editing the plugin file. But even when it isn’t 
   crashing WordPress it doesn’t stop registration spam for WordPress multisite.
 * Please fix!

 * Use the [Conditional CAPTCHA for WordPress Version 3.2.1](http://rayofsolaris.net/code/conditional-captcha-for-wordpress)
   | By Samir Shah instead. Get api keys from recaptcha site then paste the keys
   in conditional captcha settings.
