I have installed the latest version of your custom anti-spam plugin but it does not appear to be working. I do not see any image in the comment section even though there is a link to the sound of the letters, which works. I have tested in using Safari and Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5.2.

Hi, you might not have the GD or FreeType library installed. Check the Manage > Custom anti-spam diagnostic page in the WordPress admin panel.

How are you determining if GD library or Freetype library is installed? I have just compiled and installed the latest version of GD library and the diagnostic page is still telling me that GD library is not installed.

Ok i figured out the problem. I had to install the GD library for PHP.

Hi I am having the same problem too. I went to the "diagnostic page" as you suggested and it verified that the GD library is installed. This seems to come about after WordPress 2.5.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Hi, are you using the latest version of the plugin (currently 3.0.3)? From what I know, if you are using the latest version and it worked pre-2.5, there is no reason why it shouldn't work with WordPress 2.5. (Well, there are possibilities such as the server setup changing.)

Thanks for replying! yes I am using the latest plugin, my blog is at http://www.noobcook.com though I have temporarily disabled the plugin =x

What do you mean by server setup changing?

By "server setup" I mean settings on the server, such as installed libraries.

Can you confirm that you had the plugin installed and working before you upgraded to WordPress 2.5? If this is the case, then it is truly a mystery to me. However, if you are only installing it for the first time on your blog and it happens to run on WordPress 2.5, there are other possibilities, such as the FreeType library not being installed.

Also, do you mean that the image and input field does not show up at all or that there is a broken image? If the anti-spam input field doesn't show up, first make sure that you log out to test it since it does not show to registered users by default. Then try using the manual insert method.

Yes, I have the plugin installed and working before upgrading to WP 2.5. The problem I have is similar to what ktula mentioned in the first post – that "I do not see any image in the comment section even though there is a link to the sound of the letters, which works."

I will check with my web host about the installed libraries and keep you posted. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Hello, Peter. I installed the lastest version of your plugin, but it doesn't works.

I have wp 2.5.

GD library
Yay! The GD library is installed.
FreeType
Yay! The FreeType library is installed. The anti-spam image should display using the uploaded fonts.

All seems to be ok, but I can't see the anti-spam word (and I'm not logged in). When I download the audio file, it has 0kb.

My blog is http://lovingvama.eu . Do you have any idea what might have happened?

Me too. Just upgraded to 2.5. Plugin was working fine before; now, image doesn't show (though audio works). Manage > Custom anti-spam page shows all libraries etc. should be working.

The plugin has been working on other sites I have that I've upgraded to 2.5 though. One difference is I think they're all PHP 5.x, whereas this one is 4.4.6.

Hi,

First, make sure you have installed the latest version of the plugin. Then, if you have upgraded the plugin, note that the folder structure has changed — most notably, by default all fonts are now placed in a "fonts" sub-directory within the plugin folder. Finally, to make extra sure that the GD library has been installed, create a PHP file with this code:


<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then open that file in your browser and check the "gd" section.

I just upgraded to wp 2.5 and your latest plugin and it works great.

Just thinking, did the poster possibly set the manual insert var to true and then forget to place the additional code in the comments.php?

must be errant blogs because I upgraded to 2.5 and then upgraded the plugin and now it is doing the same as what is mentioned above. Box with no image but sound available. All libraries are up to date and current and in the manage section they all say Ya. I opened up a new browser where I don't log into any of my dashboards and it doesn't work. Might have to find the old version again.

Hi blueyes, what is your site address? I might be able to give you some clues from the error messages there.

Hello Peter,

I still didn't manage to fix the plugin. The sound verification works (i made the folder writeable), but the word doesn't want to appear :(

My blog is still http://lovingvama.eu , and the phpinfo is at http://www.lovingvama.eu/x.php

Please help me.

Hi, do you use a caching plugin? Take a look at this topic.

Try also upgrading your FreeType and GD libraries or temporarily renaming some of the fonts (to turn off font support).

i had similar problems.

everything ok but the word does not appear.

i edit custom_anti_spam.php. line 45. i change font type to arial.ttf and its working. i guess depend on hosting; either it support that type of font or not. try playing around with it. or check ur hosting support which type of font.

btw, i got 2 hosting. one works like charm and another need modification; only works with arial typefont. havent try other type of font. :)
