FAQ

Which WordPress version is supported?
Supported WordPress version in 3.1, but this plugin may also work with some older versions of WordPress.
There is a message 'CAPTCHA request error. Details: Error. Response status = 403 Forbidden' instead of the CAPTCHA image.
Plugin is not configured properly. Log in to your secureCAPTCHA.net account. Copy and paste siteID and privateKey to the plugin configuration page.
I can not see the image with the CAPTCHA letters on my site. The image is broken.
The most common cause is the wrong domain name. The site domain from the current URL should match domain name set up in your site settings. The plugin works in chosen domain and all sub-domains. So, if you want the plugin to work both on http://www.example.com/ and http://example.com/, set up domain name in your site settings to example.com.
I can not login to my site. Is there a way to disable the plugin manually?
Yes. Perform following steps:
  1. Edit the file secure_captcha.php (usualy it is inside wp-content/plugins/secure-captcha).
  2. Under the first line '<?php' add second line 'return;'.
  3. Save the file. Now secureCAPTCHA plugin does nothing and you can log in to your site.
