Thread: Captcha does not display an image

I have tried adding Captcha to an existing form and when published there is is no image displayed, only the words "click for new image." see bottom of this page http://unityofdavis.org/contact_us.php
Am I missing a step?
Thanks

1. You are sure you merely clicked on the Icon to insert onto your page, and placed it well within the FORM area also?
2. You did not try to alter the default background settings?
3. TOOLS > OPTIONS > PUBLISH Tab > you have pngfix selected "yes"?

Most probably the file captcha1.php has wrong permissions on the server (should be 644) , or the same happens with the font file.

Try this:

connect with FTP.
Check the permissions of the file captcha1.php
Check the permissions of the font file (verdana.ttf or whatever other font you have set)

If different from 644, change them to 644 and test.

Hello Naval,

I am having the same problem with Captcha image not displaying. I have followed the instructions you gave above to ensure that both Captcha1.php and verdana.ttf are set to 644, still the image will not show.

However, I do have the alternate text superimposed on the image which reads "Click for new image." Link to the page with this error is http://www.prayerdeliverance-ministr...ntactform.html

I apologise in advance if I should have started a new thread, but I thought it appropriate since it is the same problem.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
