    The latest ST update has removed the really-simple-captcha option from settings. I opted for that captcha instead of the preferred one, as my ST form opens in a lightbox and Google Captcha from BestWebSoft is messing my layout badly. Please advise of how to bring really-simple-captcha back (filter/hook, etc.), or how to integrate a different solution that would work with ST.

    Thanks!

    Hello @alx359,

    Please go to this link: https://gist.github.com/giucu91/9eafcfc78739fc5f5114e306be4dad35
    and download from there that zip file containing the fix and install it as you would a new plugin.

    Let me know how it goes!

    All the best,
    Mihaela

    Hi Mihaela,

    Thank you for the mini-plugin that presumably should put really-simple-captcha back into ST. Unfortunately, it isn’t working for me. Have installed the new st-really-simple-captcha plugin as instructed (appearing into /plugins/st-really-simple-captcha/st-really-simple-captcha.php). Really-simple-captcha is also installed and active, but the captcha option isn’t re-appearing in Testimonials > Form > Captcha, neither showing up in the front-end. Please advise.

    Thanks!
    Alex

    Hello Alex,

    We thought it was saved in your database and this is why we sent you that plugin. That plugin was only for output – to display it in your form if it still was saved in your db.
    I let out developer know about this and we will send you instructions tomorrow on how to edit the plugin and make it display again and it our next update we will make this work only with the above plugin.

    Best wishes,
    Mihaela

    Hello @alx359,

    Sorry for the delayed response!
    Please go here: https://github.com/MachoThemes/strong-testimonials/blob/8cbe7cec99ff7b9ed4628fab3626fd581a3e3446/admin/class-strong-testimonials-defaults.php#L871

    Copy this code from there then go to this file: strong-testimonials/admin/class-strong-testimonials-defaults.php
    And add it there then save.

    This should help!

    All the best,
    Mihaela

    Hi Mihaela,

    Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, it still isn’t working for me. After updating the code of class-strong-testimonials-defaults.php “Really Simple Captcha” (RSC) isn’t showing up in the ST Captcha section yet, nor appearing in the front-end. The RSC mini-plugin for ST is activated, but it makes no difference.

    Rolled-back to ST 2.36 and it all seemed to work as expected, so it appears there’s still something missing in ST 2.37. Kindly advise.

    Thank you,
    Alex

    Hello,

    Had another look at this, and Really Simple Captcha shows up in settings and starts working again after deactivating/activating ST (2.37). Seems the ST updater writes many settings in the DB and retrieves them from there instead of the code, so changing the code as suggested isn’t enough for those changes to kick in.

    Thanks.
