 * I’m not sure what is going on. I have tested this with a non-admin account so
   it simulates a normal commenter and it works. I just got an email from someone
   who has been trying to comment but he says it is ging an error message “Error:
   your answer to the humancaptcha question is incorrect. Use your browser’s back
   button to try again.”
 * I have confirmed that he was entering the correct answer with the questions I
   have loaded. I did change a few of your default questions to my own questions.
   The blog is [http://www.milestothewild.com](http://www.milestothewild.com)
 * There is some kind of copy & paste code under the Captcha question that isn’t
   on your screenshot. Could that be the problem?
 * Otherwise I love this plug in, have had no spam since installing it.

 * Interesting. I can’t leave a comment. I’m getting the monday, tuesday, … question.
   Can you check that the answer is still friday please, and that you haven’t changed
   it?
 * I can’t see any copy and paste code. Do you have a screenshot?
 * Have you tried it with a default WP theme and/or other plugins disabled, as it’s
   possible that something is conflicting with it?

 * Sorry for delay, too much work this week! I just tested it again on a different
   browser with a normal (not admin) email and I could comment. Yes, friday is still
   the correct answer. I changed a few questions to make them fit my blog’s theme(
   about birds) but still very easy questions such as how many wings does a bird
   have = 2. I only have this one blog but it’s using 2011. I think there was a 
   few plug in updates since I posted this question so that probably got rid of 
   the copy paste code. I have no idea how it was there but it’s gone now.

 * Hi there, I am having exactly this same problem. I tried with the Twenty Twelve
   plugin too and it doesnt work.
 * My blog is in Spanish, I dont know if you know the language to be able to test
   my own questions. If you like I can send you an email with the print screens 
   of the correct answers so you can check its not working.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * I’m experiencing the same issue now too. Doesn’t matter how I answer, everything
   is incorrect.
 * I think the biggest plugin update I did was bullet proof security.
 * Deleting and reinstalling this HumanCaptcha plugin didn’t resolve the issue.
 * Nor did resetting the questions.
 * No idea what’s causing it.

 * Not sure why this is showing as resolved – did anyone change the status?
 * If you are still having issues, please can you confirm that you have upgraded
   to WordPress 3.9 for me?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * I find that this plugin reports correct answers as wrong but it seems to do it
   in a random, ad hoc way. If I type in answers one after another it works every
   time but if I wait a few minutes and then type in an answer it occasionally reports
   a correct answer as wrong. Which doesn’t seem to make any sense to me!
 * I am using it on a premium theme purchased from themeforest where I have had 
   to play with the css to get the captcha to display correctly and I have changed
   one line of code in your plugin just to add an explanation as to what it is.
 * Original code:
    `$fields['obr_hlc'] = '<p class="comment-form-email"><label for
   ="obr_hlc">'.stripslashes($question).'</label> <span class="required">*</span
   ><input id="answer" name="answer" size="30" type="text" aria-required=\'true\'/
   ></p>';`
 * Changed code:
    `$fields['obr_hlc'] = '<p class="comment-form-captcha"><label 
   for="obr_hlc"><strong>CAPTCHA:</STRONG> Prove You're a Human by answering this
   question.</br>'.stripslashes($question).' <span class="required">*</span></label
   ><input id="answer" name="answer" size="30" type="text" aria-required=\'true\'/
   ></p>';`
 * As far as I can tell that should make no difference at all.
 * Everything installed is the latest version available.
 * Thanks for any help!

 * Hi Dave
 * Thanks for this. Which theme are you using? What happens with a standard WP theme,
   like TwentyThirteen? Also can you post a link to your site please, so that I 
   can try posting myself?

 * Hi Mike,
 * Thanks for the quick response.
 * I am using the X Theme from ThemeCo and I also have quite a few plugins installed(
   probably too many)- this is where the problem appears. I also have a test site
   set up with the Twenty Thirteen theme and only a couple of very standard plugins
   and your plugin works perfectly here.
 * It is no doubt a conflict with the theme or a plugin but it just seems very strange
   that it happens sometimes and not others.

 * Hi Dave
 * If it’s working with Twenty Thirteen and a couple of plugins, then it’s a case
   of adding your theme and the other plugins one-by-one until you find which one
   is causing the problem.

 * Hi Mike
 * I just thought I would let you know that since your last update I tried your 
   plugin again and it now works every time without any errors. My theme has also
   been updated since I reported this error so where the original incompatibility
   lay I have no idea.
 * Just happy it now works and I can use your excellent plugin.
 * Thanks very much.
