Thread

I replied to a post yesterday that I think has already been resolved last year but my issue is a slight bit different. I have 2 forms that are using the channel form tag, not Freeform, and the CAPTCHA isn’t working. I have made sure all of the preferences have been addressed and that all paths to any images are correct. I AM using a Freeform submission form on another page and the CAPTCHA works fine with the Freeform tag. Does anyone happen to have the same issue and can anyone help me find documentation on why the channel form tag isn’t displaying the CAPTCHA?

Thanks for any help in advance :cheese:

Make sure your images/captchas and perhaps system/expressionengine/cache folders are readable/writable.

I don’t think Captcha shows up if you are logged in.

Captcha can also be turned on/off per channel.

Not logged in on the browser where I am testing. I set up the permissions correctly in another browser, where I am logged in, but still not seeing CAPTCHA with channel form tag.

{if captcha}
    Please enter the word you see in the image below:
    {captcha}
 <input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" size="20" maxlength="20"  /></p>
{/if}

Once the form is filled out and submitted it creates an entry in a testimonials channel and outputs the information on the testimonials page. The client is receiving quite a bit of spam so this is becoming a problem.

Should I be using an outside CAPTCHA? Not sure why this is not working. The entire template is wrapped in an {exp:channel:form expression. Thanks for your reply but it didn’t help me in this instance. But always appreciated.
