Problem with old Captcha/Robot message

[joana]

Comments cannot be added to my photoblog (Pixelpost 1.7 here): "looks like you are a robot, if not please try again and enter the correct code" message appears.

So, I just deleted the old Captcha 0.3 Beta addon from the site (since it doesn't show in the Admin panel), leaving just the anti_comment_spam.php under the Includes folder (whithout it a 500 error appears, another "mistery").

Also removed the CAPTCHA tag from the page. It is like this, now:

<div id="add_comment">
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>flip('add_comment');</script>
<div id="comments"><form method='post' action='index.php?x=save_comment'

name='commentform' >
&nbsp;Message:<br />
&nbsp;<textarea name='message' rows='5' cols='80' style="width:400px"></textarea>
<p />



&nbsp;Name:<br />
&nbsp;<input type='text' name='name' class='input' value='<VINFO_NAME>' /><p />













&nbsp;Website (including http:// ):<br />
&nbsp;<input type='text' name='url' class='input' value='<VINFO_URL>' /><p />
&nbsp;Email:<br />
&nbsp;<input type='text' name='email' class='input' value='<VINFO_EMAIL>' /><p />
&nbsp;<input style="width:15px" type='checkbox' value='set' name='vcookie' />
Remember me
<p />

<input style="width:50px" type='submit' value='Submit' />

</form>

I also disabled the Akismet addon, but the robots message still appears.

Hi Joanna, first off, version 1.7 is not out yet. There is a release candidate of 1.7 so I'm assuming you use this. If you upgraded your 1.6 version you need to make sure you have uploaded all the files. Version 1.6 required some hacking in the core files to get the CAPTCHA to work. If you do not upload all the files there might be code left in the hacked files.

If you're looking for the true captcha addon for the release candidate of 1.7 and higher it can be found here: http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addons/comments-captcha/

Ops: my Admin panel says: "You are running Pixelpost version: 1.7.0 (Better than Ever) - November 2007"

So what do I need to do? Roll back to the 1.6 version?

Yeah, tried that one with no success: my blog went blank.

[-okapi-]

for me it works fine, exept for the fact, that the image doesn't refresh, even if i go to another photo to comment on. i have to refresh manually to see the new code.

that reminds me of the problem i had with the old captcha hack.

i'm using PP 1.7 RC1.

Yeah that would be the RC indeed.

No, please upload all files again from the installation package.

Probably because (like I said before) some old code is still present on your site which interferes with the addon. So please upload all files again from the installation package.

No, please upload all files again from the installation package.
I'll do that. Thank you.

It's working now.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.
