I have started getting over 90 spam comments a day so I have turned off Allow Comments.

I have been trying to activate Captcha. Althought the plog-comment.php has the following code:
// If

the captcha is required, check it here
if (isset($_SESSION['require_captcha']) && $_SESSION['require_captcha'] === true) {


if (!isset($_POST['captcha']) || !isset($_SESSION['captcha']) || $_POST['captcha'] != $_SESSION['captcha']) {


$errors[] = plog_tr('CAPTCHA check failed.');
$error_field[] = 'captcha';


}
}

if (empty($errors)) {
$rv = add_comment($parent_id, $author, $email, $url,

$comment);
// We're done with this so empty it out to stop double posts
unset($_POST);


if (isset($rv['errors'])) {
$errors = $rv['errors'];
} else if

($config['comments_moderate']) {
$_SESSION['comment_moderated'] = 1;
}


}
unset($_SESSION['plogger-token']);
} else {
// Missing form token
$errors =

array(plog_tr('Spam token missing or does not match!'));
}
} else {
// Comments are not on
$errors =

array(plog_tr('Comments are disabled. You are unable to add a comment!'));
}

if (!empty($errors)) {
// Set the errors for form

display
$_SESSION['comment_post_error'] = $errors;
// Set the session form variables so users don't have to re-enter

their information
$_SESSION['plogger-form'] = array(


which suggest to me captcha can be activated, and there are captcha files in the folder 'plog-includes'.

It is not doing anything. I have registered and tried to add Google ReCaptcha code but this does not seem to work.

I've tried the forum discussions but the code offered a couple of years ago does not work for me either.

Incidentally, I am a novice in the programming world.

Can you give me some simple guidance?

I myself have even tried to code in PHPBBForum Captcha code, still it doesn't work, so I just turn off comments. I'm not a PHP expert but I get by, and can't figure this out for the life of me! Tried all hacks and recoding to no effect.]]> http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3520&Focus=13636#Comment_13636 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3520&Focus=13636#Comment_13636 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 04:18:18 +0000 floriske.nl
Did you try the code to check if the data actually comes from a post request which I mentioned in reply to one of your earlier posts?

I still got spam once a while after adding the captcha, the above completely got rid of it]]> http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3520&Focus=13648#Comment_13648 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3520&Focus=13648#Comment_13648 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:38:06 +0000 joemolloy thank you for your responses. I have been away for a short time and will try your solutions in the next few days.

I'm leaving comments off for a while. I'm going to retry the recapcha code.]]>
