Hi there, this is a great plugin! I installed the update. I had it set up similarly to how you do below – and now it isn’t working like that anymore. I tried with the javascript and CSS that came with the package, and then tried with the ones on this page, and it still isn’t happening. Would you mind taking a look? Here is an example page. http://nerdface.net/2009/06/11/find-my-iphone-almost-insanely-great/

Because you are using jquery in wordpress… mode jQuery is defined but $ is not a function.
Error: $ is not a function
Source File: http://nerdface.net/wp-content/plugins/imhuman-a-humanized-captcha/js/imhuman.js
Line: 8
You can replace the $ function with jQuery in the .js file and it will act normally.

I really enjoy this plug in, as it’s simple and fun. It was not difficult to set up, once you figure out the steps. I’ve written an expanded version of the installation instructions that should help people who, like me, aren’t all that technical:
1. Upload “imhuman” directory to your “/wp-content/plugins/” directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress admin
3. Edit comments template php file in your active theme.
- It will be something like /wp-content/themes/YourActiveTheme/comments.php
- This file contains HTML code that dictates what your comment form looks like. You should insert
<?php imhuman_render($post->ID); ?>somewhere between the and tags. Usually people put the captcha at the bottom, just before the submit button4. Go get your ImHuman API user and key to activate the service.
a. Go to http://www.elxsy.com and register (Under ‘Menu’ on the right)
b. Log in to http://www.elxsy.com and go to the Control Panel (under ‘Pages’ -> ‘ImHuman’). Click on Create Website then add your website URL and IP address.
c. Now go click on “My Websites” in the Control panel. Here you’ll see your API User and API Key.
5. Go back to your blog’s Wordpress Admin, and configure the plugin in the “Plugins”->”ImHuman Settings” menu. Put in your API User and API key.

@krizalis
I have checked your website and did a manual trigger because you have Javascript errors on your website and Plugin works fine. See in the image.

You need to fix this Javascript errorsin your website. They are not connected with the ImHuman plugin.

I have put a plug-in, have registered in a file comments.php gtID);?>
When I write comments displays an error
Error: please select the correct humanizers
Prompt in what a problem?

You need jQuery on the blog for the plugin, you do not have the jQuery.
You dont need to edit comments.php also.
July 28th, 2009
Ok Thx

Hi there,
I got this working on my site (well almost), but the images are all dimmed and I can not select any. What would cause the images to be dimmed?
/Cheers,
Jelte
August 14th, 2009
Images are dimmed via opacity settings in their CSS styling, you can remove the opacity settings or increase the values
September 28th, 2009
Hi cenOTapH..
I don’t know if you have noticed but.. It seems the plugin is installed correctly and running.. but there are no Flickr images loaded.. Not even the text which asks for the things to be clicked on like Cats, Dogs, Violins etc etc.. Is this a ImHuman server problem or Flickr related problem?
September 28th, 2009
oh thanks for the heads up since I had checked “disable for members” option I did not see if humanizers are not working.
I have updated the wordpress last night to last build and its new variables clashed with variables of api. Little change on api’s core did the job
October 2nd, 2009
hi cenOTapH..
Me again
Was wondering.. Is it possible to modify your plugin so that I can use this ImHuman captcha on other forms (other than just comments)?
For example, I am doing a contact us form.. and I want to have that ImHuman functionality on that form.. Which part of the plugin do I have to look into to do the changes?
Thanks !
October 2nd, 2009
Hey krizalis,
I assume you wanna use it in wp? Because wp doesnt come with a default contact form you are going to get a new plugin or write yourself, in two conditions this should be the path to follow:
1 duplicate the plugin with a new name
2 make sure your contact plugin have a SUBMIT field with an ID of submit
3 you may need to remove the
if( is_singular() ){check in line 43.4 remove the
$ID = intval($_GET['ID']);and any related $ID variable following the line 51.5 you need to copy/paste/integrate the contents of
function imhuman_preprocess_comment($comment) {function into your contact plugin’s check process.Its an easy process takes time depending on your contact plugin, hope you will be able to do it.
October 4th, 2009
Hi cenOTapH,
Thanks for the quick reply and help.. I think I can manage what you said.. However, I’m already using your ImHuman Plugin for my posts comments.. If I were to duplicate another instance of the plugin with another name, would the functions created within that duplicated version be in conflict with the original plugin I used for my posts comments? Should I rename all the functions? Also, does your plugin create tables in the database to store the settings? If it does, wouldn’t the duplicated plugin would create the same tables and thus have conflict too?
Please advice!
Thanks!
krizalis
October 4th, 2009
Well yes of course you are right
u need to raname the functions like imhuman_contact_etc_etc with the settings variables as well. it does not create tables, uses wordpress settings system.
October 4th, 2009
Hi cenOTapH,
Thanks again for such a fast response! Thanks for the confirmation.. I will try it out.. If it works then I’ll have to give all my credits to you
Thanks!

what use ?
October 21st, 2009
Were do I register?
November 19th, 2009
This looks like great plugin but I am getting a Error: please select the correct humanizers everytime I try to submit a comment, even when the correct images are selected. Any suggestions?
Also can this be used for user registration?
Thanks
November 19th, 2009
Does your hosting have PHP 5 and sessions enabled? I guess problems occurs with that or maybe some other wp plugin gets in the way of comment processing.
Yes you can use it anywhere (not talking about wordpress). I am using this ImHuman on my several sites for any kind of captcha operation
November 19th, 2009
I am using PHP 5.2.11 and session support is enabled.
I will try disabling every plugin one by one to determine whether or not another plugin is conflicting. I will post the result here.
November 19th, 2009
p.s. how did you add it to your registration form?
Thanks
November 19th, 2009
I tried disabling every plugin with no success. I suspect it’s something to do with my theme. Is there someway I can manually enter the code in to comments.php in WordPress.
Thanks
November 19th, 2009
Not in wordpress, I code my own systems. I have used the simple class I have provided in the docs section.
Yeah I forgot to mention your theme, mb some javascript error, good catch. Post your url and I will have a look.
Not for this or any plugin, dont manually edit your core system files.
November 19th, 2009
Thanks for offering to take a look. I don’t know where to look next.
It’s vivalashermans dot co dot uk
November 19th, 2009
I forgot to mention: feel free to try to post some comments on the site. No name or email is required. I can clean up the comments later.
November 19th, 2009
then again I forget I can’t post comments anymore
November 19th, 2009
Everything seems normal although
You have two comment_post_ID in your form, one of them should not be there and it is not coming from imhuman plugin.
Remove one of them from your theme.
Try to isntall unmodified plugin file, maybe you made a typo somewhere along the line while modifying.
If that still not solve the problem, no worries we can make a lil debug and solve it.
November 19th, 2009
There was a comment_post_ID in comments.php which I commented out.
I deactivated the plugin, deleted the files then reinstalled.
Unfortunately the same problem.
Where should I add debug?
Thanks
November 19th, 2009
after line 77 add
print_r($_SESSION);November 20th, 2009
I’ve added the debug.
One thing I noticed I had to re-save the user and API key information after going away for a while then revisiting the site.
For your information I created a file with phpinfo() at vivalashermans dot co dot uk/phpinfo.php
November 20th, 2009
ok paste the same code into line 126 (old one 125) which is after
imhuman_set_session();.Everything looks ok and working.. very weird that it is still giving error..
ohh damn where is my mind.. maybe something to do with wordpress that you disabled the name, mail and site requirements for posting a comment?
And there are still 2 comment_post_ID variables..
November 20th, 2009
I realised I overwrote comments.php with a backup which put the second comment_post_ID variable in there, it’s now out again.
I tried the following:
Enabled the requirement for a name and email address
Using a different theme (the Wordpress default)
Still the same.
Maybe a setting in php.ini?
after putting print_r I am now getting an error after posting a comment (looks like its changing the URL).
imhuman_set_session();
print_r($_SESSION);
if(is_array($_SESSION[$ID.'KEYS'])){
November 20th, 2009
I dont think it is a setting issue unless wp core is changed to work with that as well..
It is just get the keys from post and session then do some small calculations thats it.
If you can give me a FTP access to your website I ll solve it in a flash. Also curious what the heck is the problem.
November 20th, 2009
Unfortunately I can only have one FTP account using this hosting package.
If you register on the blog I could change your role to Administator. That way you would be able to edit the PHP files via the WordPress dashboard.
If you reply back on here with your username that you used I will change your role.
I appreciate your help. I guess it’s something simple.
November 20th, 2009
Yeah that is fine also, username : cenOTapH
November 20th, 2009
I’ve changed your role to Administrator. Feel free to try things out. I have a backup if things go wrong.
Thanks.
November 21st, 2009
Well as it seems your hosting cant keep the session vars or any other db vars because it is having memory problems.
maybe due to inefficient hosting or some not well coded plugin, updates you made.
If you want to change to a reliable hosting let me know via contact.
December 3rd, 2009
Seems the site was down earlier, causing the plugin not to work properly, i.e. no comments could be posted. I had to disable it on the two blogs I am using it on and would like if it is now safe to re-enable it? Thanks, SY
December 4th, 2009
Websites were up and functioning, I know from server records. No error or anomaly reported in the logs. I dont know the reason of the malfunction but maybe flickr was down in your area? If happens again please let me know.
December 5th, 2009
Will do, thanks for the response! SY
January 10th, 2010
great idea very well done
February 10th, 2010
It is just get the keys from post and session then do some small calculations thats it.
February 27th, 2010
