Hi

I had a similar issue with Syntax Highlighter evolved 3.1.3 and WP 3.3.2.
In my case, I would paste in my C# code using the TinyMCE button and preview it. Everything ok.

I would then update and view site only to see that
<pre class="brush: csharp; gutter: true; first-line: 1">

get’s replaced with just
<pre>
So no scrollbars and readable c# code

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After about 3-4 times of reapplying the syntax highlighter markup ( manually and with the button) I got a bit fed up. So started to investigate

I think it might be related to the After-the-deadline from Jetpack. I have simply enabled it for the first post update only. I am also not doing the preview before I update – tho this probably more paranoia on my part ??
So far everything ok.

With all due respect I didn’t get a reply from anyone to my last post so this is why I am here ?? Also it is unclear whether this is a general WordPress issue, or Genesis or a child theme problem. Bottom line I should be able to override any default “1st image” is Feature image behaviour.
I am unable to publish my post until I sort my issue out .

Hi

Apologies for the confusion but I realised last night it wasn’t my contact page with Real Simple Captcha as this page was not the target for the spammers. I disabled the captcha plugin in question and I installed Spam Free WordPress plugin which is easy under Genesis. So far has kept the spammers out of my comments.

If you can suggest a viable alternative that integrates seamlessly with Contact Form 7….

Hi

Yep I am in the same boat – 16 in 3 days to be precise. Is there anyway to make Real Simple Captcha harder for the spammers?

Daniel

Hi

This looks good can you confirm the final version of this .htaccess in the ‘wpcf7_captcha’ dir for those us who are newbies

Thanks Daniel

Hi

Thanks, I tried to send the link to my page via your contact form. So far so good. I have used the Advanced Options > Disable internal error checking option.

I like this plugin.

Hi

Hmmmmmm had to do a win7 reboot after an update… went to the post and set changed force=”0″ to force=”1″ . Now can view my document in the GDE.

oh well I just will monitor periodically to see if the issue I experienced comes up again.

Daniel

Hi

Unfortunately, it gets worse. I have now had to disable the plugin as it all it does is render the blank viewer at the bottom of the post. Tried IE and Chrome on two separate machines.

The download link works ok.

I am happy to send you ( the dev) the link of my post away from this forum.

Daniel

HI

Is anybody working on this? In the end, I simply commented out the temp variable and my captcha image gets displayed.

If you want me to test the bug fix or diagnostic logging version that is required to fix this issue I am willing to donate my services to the community. I will back up before beforehand of course.

Yes, it appears to be a false alarm. Just keep WebSite Defender happy I moved the location where these .php and images are stored. THis you can do through
this change in your config.php

define( ‘WPCF7_CAPTCHA_TMP_DIR’, ‘WHEREEVER/’ );

the ‘WHATEVER/’ is any directory name you chose to create so ‘/mycaptcha’ anything your want. You will need to use an ftp client such as FileZila. It will also set the file mask (chmod) of the directory to 0777 to keep Contact Form 7 happy.

No need to rebuild your forms – I simply changed the syntax of the short code to keep it up to date.

One final thing… I suggest your google “hardening your WordPress site “as web site defender is simply one component of your anti hacking armour..

Good luck

Daniel

Hi

I have now changed the defualt wp_content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha
with an entry in config.php

/** here we stop C form 7 writing to the wp_content/upload dir by using our our own dir*/

define( ‘WPCF7_CAPTCHA_TMP_DIR’, ‘WHEREEVER/’ );

This now works but was more fiddly than than it looks

1) check the the contact form 7 settings page as this reports whether your chosen directory is writable or not after your ftp accross your amended config.php.
2) using the new sytax for the the contact form short code
3) backup you config.php! I managed to corrupt mine but recovered from backup.

Hi

I am in the exact position and I nearly nuked my blog site bacuse of it. I think routinely ignoring security scans doesn’t sound like a good idea. Do I take it we need to change the temp dir to a user defined location as outlined in
https://contactform7.com/blog/2009/11/25/captcha/ .

Hi

I am having similar issues. I haven’t tried whitelisting the ip address of my site but that would be an option.

Daniel

Hi

I have the same issue with a fresh install of wordpress 3.05 … I have done a previous wordpress blog which ironically is in a sub folder.
All looks very similar. The only thing that is different is the

.htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
