    So I deployed today (yay!)  😊

    However… the captcha image was not displaying despite having to re-enter every server path imaginable into the Captcha Preferences field. Every time I submitted a server path, EE would tell me the server path is invalid.  :coolgrin:

    To resolve this, I just entered in the config.php:

    $config['captcha_path'] = "../system_folder/images/captchas/";
    $config['captcha_url'] = "http://site_url/images/captchas/";

    Thanks!  Here’s another good reference to move variables out of database and into config.php

    I’m having trouble getting Captcha to show also in EE2. I’ve tried ALL the solutions provided except this one. I noticed I do NOT have a /system_folder/images/captchas/ folder. Am I suppose to?

    I also don’t have any images in the captcha url folder.
