    Hello Tolakins.

    No, this is not possible at the moment.

    I will try to fix this in next version, though.
    I will probably add an extra option to automatically
    redirect into login page when wrong captcha is entered.

    Hello cassel.

    In order to be able to reply to comments in dashboard,
    you need to change the comment settings of Blue Captcha.

    Just go to: Blue Captcha / Options / Comment Posting

    and change setting “Show Captcha To”:

    Everyone Except Admin

    then click on Save button to apply.

    I hope this will solve your problem.

    Hello.

    Blue Captcha should work in Chrome broswer. I have tested it in Chrome for Windows and Chrome for Linux (Chromium) and it seems to work fine.
    What version of Chrome are you using?

    Can you please provide more details? That is, what is the URL of your blog where the problem appears?
    If you don’t want to post the URL address here, please send a message via http://mybluestuff.blogspot.gr/p/blue-captcha.html

    Hello Rob,

    unfortunately Blue Captcha is only available on comment, login, register and password-recovery form for the time being.

    Yes, you need to add some HTML & JavaScript code into the appropriate page (Contact Us page). Apart from this, you also need to add some server-side script (written in PHP) in order to check the captcha entered by the end-user (once the Contact-Us submit button is pressed) and perform some other actions (like logging information in Blue Captcha Log File etc). You can check the Blue Captcha script used in other forms (login, register forms etc). However, this procedure requires a close review of cforms plugin script as well (and perhaps some modification in its script too) as you need somehow to create a hook / connection between Blue Captcha and cforms.

    Hi Sam.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    This feature can be implemented in a future version of Blue Captcha.

    Best regards,

    Hi David.

    This will be possible in a future version of Blue Captcha.
    WooCommerce is not supported for the time being 🙁

    Plugin Author jotis

    (@jotis)

    Yes, this is possible.

    An option (to view wrong captcha message in the same comment page) will be added in next version.

    Hello David.

    Of course, this is possible and very easy, actually.
    You can do it yourself if you open and edit bluecaptcha.php file.
    You just need to replace:

    <label for=\"user_captcha\">Captcha</label>

    with:

    <label for=\"user_captcha\">Please type the letters that are shown above</label>

    However, a new option regarding this issue will be added in new version (1.7.3) of Blue Captcha, which is going to be released in a few days. With this option you will be able to replace the word “Captcha” with any text you like.

    Hello.

    Please check if GD2 library is installed. If it’s not installed
    then Blue Captcha cannot work.
    Also, Blue Captcha requires FreeType library in order to work properly.
    If it’s not installed then your host needs to install the packages: freetype, freetype-devel

    To gain access to your blog (i.e. to be able to login again)
    you do not need to restore from a backup.
    You simply need to deactivate Blue Captcha plugin.
    You can do this if you rename the folder “blue-captcha”
    located on /wp-content/plugins/ inside “wordpress”.
    Just tell your host to rename “/wp-content/plugins/blue-captcha”
    to “/wp-content/plugins/blue-captcha2”.
    This way, WordPress will automatically deactivate Blue Captcha plugin
    and you will be able to login again.

    I am preparing a new version to solve some issues with broken images.

    Hello.

    This is really weird. Blue Captcha has strong hooks on login page and it’s very difficult to bypass it.
    Does this happen to all new brute force attacks?

    Do you use extra plugins for login (like sidebar login, for example)?
    Did you install any new plugins lately?

    It would be useful to check raw access logs on your cpanel
    to see the raw links the attacker(s) used to login.

    For instance, do they look like:

    http://domain.com/wpsite/wp-login.php

    ???

    By the way, the logs from “Limit Login Attempts” (as shown in https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B78_0tA4WOnIMUx1TWFpWG9iU0U/edit ) don’t list any other details (like date & time)? Are you sure that those attempts are not recorded in Blue Captcha logs in older dates?

    If you don’t want to share “sensitive” information here, please contact through:

    Hello,

    yes, it is possible to block a whole country but you need to add all its major IP addresses into the Banned IP Addresses area (Blocking Options of Blue Captcha) in order to do so.

    For instance, check here the major IPs for Australia:

    http://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/au.html

    You need to block the major IPs listed in the above link. You can use ‘*’ in 3rd & 4th IP part.

    As an example, I am giving the first IPs to be inserted into the Banned IP Addresses area:

    1.40.*.*, 1.41.*.*, 1.42.*.*, 1.43.*.*, 1.44.*.*, 1.120.*.*, 121.*.*, 122.*.*, 1.123.*.*, 1.124.*.*, 1.125.*.*, 1.126.*.*, 1.127.*.*
    and so on

    Yes, I know, this is a painful procedure but it’s the only way for the time being…

    Your idea (whitelist IPs) is very good, I will consider it and develop this feature in a future version of Blue Captcha.

    Hi.

    This feature (translation in WordPress) is supported in new version 1.7.2

    To translate Blue Captcha texts in Spanish, just enable translation in General Options (Enable Translation => Yes). This option is enabled by default, so you don’t have to do anything.

    No, Blue Captcha can not do this 🙁

    Plugin Author jotis

    Hello.

    Probably some other plugin (installed in your blog) is interacting with blue captcha causing problems to it and prevents the captcha image from being displayed properly.

    To overcome this, you need to log into your cpanel and rename (or remove) the subfolder “blue-captcha” located on folder
    “/test/wp-content/plugins/”

    After this, WordPress will automatically disable Blue Captcha plugin and you will be able to normally access your WP account with no problems.

    If you want, please report what other plugins are installed into your blog so that I am aware of these plugins and check them to find & fix the incompatibility issues with Blue Captcha.

    Hi.

    I guess it’s possible to integrate Blue Captcha with WP-Members plugin but this requires to modify both Blue Captcha and WP-Members’ scripts.

    I am planning to do this in a future version of Blue Captcha, but I will probably need help from WP-Members Plugin’s creator as WP-Members plugin needs to be modified too. I will contact with creator of WP-Members in order to discuss this opportunity.

    Regards,
    Jotis
