CAPTCHA issues

  • I have been trying to install any and all types of captchas for my blog. It has been inundated with spam the past few months (something I only found recently showing up in my feed), and I need to up my security. I want to install captcha codes for leaving comments.

    The website is: https://www.theastromaidchronicles.com

    Also, when I try these plugins, I’ve made sure that the others are DEACTIVATED while working with new ones. I.E. I don’t have all captcha plugins activated at the same time.

    I have tried several different captca plugins (Better WordPress reCaptcha; Captcha; Alpha Omega Captcha; Easy Captcha) and each time, the captcha code NEVER shows up in the comment part of a post. However, if I try to submit a comment (while NOT logged in as myself, so I just appear as any old user), it tells me that my captcha input was wrong and I should try again, or some variation of that. But the captcha code never shows up!

    ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am sensing this has something to do with the theme, since once of these plugins specifically said their plugin only works with WP, unmodified themes. I’m not sure, I just want to get this captcha up so I can stop the spam!

    Thank you in advance!!
