Captcha Not Enforced In Custom Form

You will need to verify captcha in server side.
Eg. your chatbox send a message. before sending message you will need to use anr_verify_captcha() function to verify captcha. If it return true then you can continue, otherwise show error that captcha is not verified.

Thanks, Shamim. I’m not exactly sure where to place this code in the custom form php. I’ve tried it in a few places, but it doesn’t seem to be take effect. As you can see in the code below, I’ve placed the captcha form before the submit button. But where should the “verify captcha” code be placed?

Thanks for the help. I can provide any additional code as a needed.

<?php do_action(‘anr_captcha_form_field’);?>

<div id=”sac-user-submit”>
<div class=”sac_js_nonce”></div>
<input type=”submit” id=”submitchat” name=”submit” class=”submit” value=”<?php esc_attr_e(‘Submit’, ‘simple-ajax-chat’); ?>” />
<input type=”hidden” id=”sac_lastID” value=”<?php echo $lastID + 1; ?>” name=”sac_lastID” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”sac_no_js” value=”true” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”PHPSESSID” value=”<?php echo session_id(); ?>” />
<?php wp_nonce_field(‘sac_nonce’, ‘sac_nonce’, false); ?>
</div>

You will need to verify captcha server side not client side. This form submit message to your server, there must have some code which process this message and add to db. You will need to check captcha there.

Thanks, Shamim. I think I’ve found the .php file that processes the chat, but I can’t figure out how to correctly modify the code with the verify command to make it work. Whatever I do either disables the posting of the message completely or allows for posting without verifying the captcha.

I’ve contacted the chat plug-in author but haven’t heard back yet. If you’d be interested in helping me more directly with editing the source code, please reach out to me to talk about how I might procure your services.

Thank you.
