[Plugin: Really Simple CAPTCHA] Installation issue

  • The new version of Contact Form 7 stopped working as I found out we now need another plugin.

    I downloaded the Really Simple CAPTCHA plugin, but the installation notes are not very helpful.

    Please can you describe how to install and configure Really Simple CAPTCHA?

    For example the notes say:

    First, create an instance of ReallySimpleCaptcha class:
    $captcha_instance = new ReallySimpleCaptcha();

    What file do we edit? Do we put this statement in the contact for itself?

    Sorry if I sound a bit like a dope (maybe I’m missing something big), but I hope you can point us in the right direction.

    Any help would be appreciated – Thank you!

  • You create CAPTCHA from where you create a form. Just use “Generate tag”(?) (I’m swedish) Choose CAPTCHA and the rest is a walk in the park.

    Thank you jimpz – I was looking for the same info

    ??

    I was looking for this information too! Thank you!

    Thank you, jimpz! I too was having a horrible time figuring this out. If that little step is in the readme file or the instructions on the download page, I sure missed it.

    Thought I’d add just a bit more how-to detail to jimpz’s post above in case anyone else encounters this problem. Here are the specific steps I used to add a captcha to my Contact Form 7:

    ~After both plugins are activated (Contact Form 7 and Really Simple Captcha plugins), go to Tools/Contact Form 7, then click on the button that says ‘Generate Tag’.

    ~Simply scroll down the list and then click on CAPTCHA.

    ~A form pops up with some default info and some optional info to fill in (I just went with the defaults).

    ~Finally, copy and paste the two short lines of code at the bottom into the form code on the left where you wish your captcha image and confirmation field to appear on the contact form.

    ~Hit ’save’ and it’s done. Captcha is now added to the contact form.

    If this helps even one person, then it was well worth the effort!

    Thanks MizzCindy, I was able to figure it out with your instructions. The instructions by the developer leaves a lot to be desired.
