 * Here is a fix for simple captcha:
 * in register-plus.php put
    session_start(); as the 2nd line (right after <?php)
 * Do NOT put session_start(); in wp-login.php

 * Can you explain why, as the instructions say to put <?php session_start(); ?>
   in wp-login which appeared to work OK?

 * mspc, thanks for the suggestion. I had tried the other way (editing the wp-login.
   php) and was still coming up with the captcha being invalid when trying to register.
   I did this, and it worked.

 * Thanks MSPC, That worked for me too. Washerhelp, I assume you are using WP 2.6?
   I’m using 2.7.1 and I would guess silverwolf21 is too.

 * Superb! I had given up on Simple Captcha awhile ago. This fixed it for me. Thanks.

 * Does anybody have Register Plus working on WordPress 2.8. I have it installed
   but when my initial setup didn’t go so well I just assumed it was incompatible..

 * It works okay for me on 2.8.1, although my css is ignored when using Safari or
   Firefox.

 * The code shown as <?php session_start(); ?> does not work because the use of “?
   >” tells the browser to to quit looking for more PHP code.
 * By using “<?php session_start();” the browser will just accept it as another 
   line of PHP code.
 * Also, “<?php” may already be present, in which case you just need to add “session_start();”
   somewhere after that. The “<?php” tells the broswer where to start looking for
   PHP code.
 * Hope that helps.
