    Hi,

    I tried activating the “Show CAPTCHA after the end of the page loading.” option. After this, any visit to any blog post triggered an alert box, and gave 403 notification. I think I know why this happens.

    I have hardened my WP security, and access to my wp-admin folder is passworded and ip-filtered. If I have understood this plugin’s behaviour correctly, by enabling that captcha option it tried to access the AJAX file in my wp-admin folder, hence the 403.

    Otherwise this is a great plugin!

  • Hi,

    Since your wp-admin folder is passworded and ip-filtered, there will be problems with our Captcha and other plugins which use AJAX as its functionality requires an access to “admin-ajax.php” file, and this file is located in wp-admin folder.
