Captcha Image is not showing

Permalink
No matter what I do, the captcha image is not showing on any of the pages that use it, login, guestbook, anything. GD is installed and I've made sure permissions on the files (captcha.php, elephant.ttf, etc...) are correct and still no image is being shown.

Is anyone else having this problem? Have you found a fix for it? If not, is there any alternative you can suggest?

Thanks,
George

I have the same problem. I’ve moved my site from a sub directory to the root (to go live) and all of a sudden no captcha image is shown anymore. It used to work in the sb directory. And if I try to view the image directly it says that it can’t be displayed because the image contains errors. I’ve already checked for proper permission of /libraries/3rdparty/elephant.ttf but it doesn’t help. What’s wrong??

We've been having problems with captcha also so I put this code in and it seems to work.

CONCRETE/HELPERS/VALIDATION/CAPTCHA.PHP

REPLACE LINE (45)
$this->securimage->ttf_file = DIR_LIBRARIES_3RDPARTY_CORE . '/securimage/elephant.ttf';
WITH (use gd font since ttf is not working)
$this->securimage->ttf_file = DIR_LIBRARIES_3RDPARTY_CORE . '/securimage/elephant.ttf';
$this->securimage->use_gd_font = true;
$this->securimage->gd_font_file = DIR_LIBRARIES_3RDPARTY_CORE . '/securimage/gdfonts/bubblebath.gdf';
