SI Captcha for Wordpress Plugin by Mike Challis

Description:
Adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, or both. In order to post comments, users will have to type in the phrase shown on the image. This can help prevent spam from automated bots.

You can see it in use on my blog here: Long Beach WA - Weather Blog.

Some of the many features include:

• Configure from Admin panel
• XHTML Compliant
• JavaScript is not required
• Allows Trackbacks and Pingbacks
• Setting to hide the CAPTCHA from logged in users and or admins
• Setting to show the CAPTCHA on the comment form, registration form, or both
• (see readme.txt inside the zip file for full instructions)

Captcha Image Support:

• Captcha Image by www.phpcaptcha.org is integrated
• Open-source free PHP CAPTCHA script
• Abstract background with multi colored, angled, and transparent text
• Arched lines through text
• Generates audible CAPTCHA files in wav format
• Refresh button to reload captcha if you cannot read it

Requirements/Restrictions:

• Works with Wordpress 2.x.
• Tested up to Wordpress 2.6.2
• PHP 4.0.6 or above with GD2 library support.
• Your theme must have a <?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?> tag inside your comments.php form. Most themes do. The best place to locate the tag is before the comment textarea, you may want to move it if it is below the comment textarea.

Installation:

1. Upload the si-captcha folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory in Wordpress
2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
3. If you ever have to upgrade, simply repeat the installation steps with the new version.
