    Hey All,

    I am having trouble getting expression engine captcha working. I have read some of the other postings on this issue but none of them fixed my issue. So here is a summary of my CAPTCHA Preferences,

    Server Path to CAPTCHA Folder: Path to folder on server which exists but no images inside
    Full URL to CAPTCHA Folder: URL path to the same folder above
    Use TrueType Font for CAPTCHA?: YES
    Add Random Number to CAPTCHA Word: YES
    Require CAPTCHA with logged-in members?: YES (Changed this from NO based on another post)

    And here is the code I am using in Member Profile Templates > Custom Template > Registration Form,

    {if captcha}
    <tr>
         <td colspan='2' class='tableCellOne'>
             Please enter the word you see in the image below:
              {lang:captcha}
    
             <input type="text" name="captcha" value="" size="20" maxlength="20"  /></p>
         </td>
    </tr>
    {/if}

    The captcha is not being found so the code is never added to the page. If I remove the if statement then I see the code but again there is not captcha displayed (attached a screen shot of this).

    So can anyone tell me what is wrong and point me in a direction to solve this issue?

    Thanks for taking the time to look at my issue.

    - Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,


    Go to CP -> Members -> Preferences. Here you need to select “Yes” for “Enable Membership CAPTCHA”.

    Thank you Bhashkar, that is exactly what I needed.

    Also it turned out I needed to change one other thing also, instead of {lang:captcha} I had to use {captcha} in my above code to get the captcha to display the image.
