=== WPMU Super CAPTCHA === Contributors: leewells Donate link: http://www.mlwassociates.com/services/open-source/ Tags: CAPTCHA, admin, spam, bots, security, protection Requires at least: 1.5.x Tested up to: 2.8 Stable tag: 2.0.5 Start combating spam on your MU or WordPress Blog by stopping the bot signups and brute force attacks. == Description == This plugin was developed primarily for the WordPress Muti-User edition, however it works on the regular single domain version as well. It combats spam bots from flooding you with sign-ups and blog creations and it keeps bots from brute- force attacking your site with the admin username by forcing a visual confirmation CAPTCHA in order to login. FEATURES: * Visual Confirmation CAPTCHA using random text and number strings, OR your own custom word-list for easier reading. * Verbal (audible) readout of the image that is displayed for those that are visually impared or where the image is greatly obscured from reading that is rendered from the script itself and hard for any bot to "interpret". * Confirmation box is placed automagically on the login page, and the registration pages. * FULLY CONFIGURABLE DISPLAY and YOU CONTROL where and when the CAPTCHA is displayed by checking a box. * Want more features?

IMPORTANT NOTE: If after you activate this plugin, you are unable to login to your Administration Panel, simply RENAME the plugin's folder to allow for access. I do not yet certify that this release is "stable" however it is operational on my own systems. == Installation == 1. Upload the `super-captcha` folder and ALL its contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. If you wish to customize your audio files or word.txt files for custom words and more security, change these files under the super-captcha/includes directory before upload and install. 3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 4. CAPTCHA Ready -- Easy as that. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Does this Plugin have any configurable options through the admin panel? = Loads! Check the sCAPTCHA Menu (in its on box). = OMG! I just hosed my CAPTCHA when updating a config option! What do I do?!? = Step 1: Chill, I've already thought about that, and Step2: Under your Config options, you'll see a big white button that says, Restore Defaults; click it -- enjoy. = I just installed this software and spam bots are still eating up my MU site, what did I do wrong? = Under the sCAPTCHA menu, you did not set it to display on the "Sign Ups"... Set that and click "Save Settings" then smile as the spam bots don't know what to do =) I recommend also ticking the display on login as well. = I installed it, as instructed, and the image does not show up! Whats wrong? = Your server is not allowing or does not support FreeType or PHP's GD2 Library. See www.php.net for more information. = I've installed this plugin and now I can't login to my admin panel. Help! = Rename /wp-content/plugins/super-captcha/ to wp-content/plugins/super-captcha.bk/ to forcefully deactivate the plugin to restore access and let us know at http://www.mlwassociates.com/products/super-capcha/ = Ok this plugin is awesome, but I don't see how I can donate? = We allow donations but we are a profitable company (partnership rather) so though they're not tax deductable, you will have to contact us in order to "support" (not donate btw) our open source projects. 100% of any funding given by support of an open source project goes dirrectly into paying developers to work on them, tweak them, and make them secure and bug free. = Do you guys offer any other plugins? = Yes, but not all are GPL or GNU, they're licensed through a proprietary licnese, though you'll get full access to the source code, the other software took loads of time to create so they're for sale. == Screenshots == 1. This is a great visual of the login CAPTCHA -- Sorry I have not added CSS yet. 2. Working CAPTCHA on the user-registration page for WordPress MU. 3.
