Captcha not authenticating

Post by Hbrownell »

I set up captcha to eliminate some spam I've been getting. However, when I try to test the captcha out on my sandbox, it fails even though the correct letters are in the box. Can someone look at it and see if I missed a beat somewhere? Thanks!

The form seems to be correct.
What is the URL of the page, so I can see the error message?

Note that the captcha is case-sensitive

I turned off "Enable real-time validation through AJAX" and now it seems to allow the message to run its' course. Now I'm not getting the messages in my email.

In that case, your website may not support AJAX or the AJAX script is not on the server.

Your test project does not have a success and error page so I cannot verify the settings for that.

I put one in there. I resent the file. What's funny is I see your test from earlier 9:15am (my time). I haven't been able to do that from my end..

I think I need to start over here.

You see the form I'm trying to create.
I want to have it reply with an autoresponder message that captures the email of the user that sent in the request. (Basically so it captures both incoming and outgoing for redundancy)
I thought I read that I needed to set up an SMTP account for that, which I did. But, it doesn't seem to work with the login credentials. I can log into the account and I copy/paste those credentials to the form but still fails. (for the mail engine)

What am I missing?

I do not think that the browser will make any difference. The form is processed on the server side.

Whether or not you need SMTP depends on the configuration of the server.
If SMTP is required , then you will need to enter the SMTP information of the server.

But will setting up SMTP allow me to capture the email on a reply? (using the auto reply built into the form)

I turned off SMTP and got both firefox and brave to correctly send the forms to my email, however neither of them captured the outgoing reply and chrome is still failing. This is the only information I can find that comes close to what I'm dealing with, but I don't know PHP, so I don't know if this is relevant with your code.

Okay, so I rebooted my computer and now magically chrome works. (Google really pisses me off at times) So, I'm back to trying to move forward with the SMTP. Provided that I hear from you that it's going to do what I need it to do. (Capture the email out the outgoing messages sent via the auto-reply)

Please see "Emails are not arriving in my inbox":
http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum/ ... 10&t=32967

If that does not help then you will need to ask your webhost why the emails are not sent.
Based on their feedback you can then modify the settings of your form.
