Looks like a path association problem.

Try downloading repair_settings.php then upload it to your main SMF install via FTP. How do I use FTP? / What is FTP?

Navigate to the file and click all the default links.

[Rainboy7]

i tried that to many times still same

[greyknight17]

Did you try this in the default theme and see if it has the same problem showing the visual verification?

[Rainboy7]

yeah , i tried at default theme too, code still appearing like at this ss

Welcome
There was a workaround in Bug #1247: imagettftext() doesn't work well with results from imagecreate() in some server setups (Subs-Graphics.php), but that might not be the problem since it worked previously but trying this won't hurt.
Download ./Sources/Subs-Graphics.php via FTP (How do I use FTP? / What is FTP?)

Code (Find) Select Expand


$can_do_ttf = function_exists('imagettftext');


Code (Replace with) Select Expand


$can_do_ttf = false;


If that doesn't help, you'll have to go through the PHP files in your SMF installation to see which file has either an extra space before the opening tag (<?php) or an extra space after the closing tag (?>). Pretty painful as it could be any file, but you should start with the fol.

• index.php
• Settings.php
• Sources/Load.php
• Sources/QueryString.php
• Sources/Subs.php
• Sources/Subs-Graphics.php
• Themes/default/languages/index.english.php
• Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Remember <?php and ?> should be on the first and last lines respectively.

Aditionally, We find that CAPTCHA not working is usually due to one of the fol.

• Improper method of ad code/miscellaneous code insertion
• Missing /languages/fonts and its contents, or not being able to read them
• Invalid coding used in themes which causes javascript errors.

After trying the above and you can't get SMF's built-in CAPTCHA to work, try Motoko-Chan's reCAPTCHA plugin.

It's really hard to say what could be causing the problems with CAPTCHA, as there are numerous different issues that could cause it to not work.

[n3rve] first many thanks for ur reply i'm grateful to you

before i'd replaced this code

Code Select Expand

$can_do_ttf = function_exists('imagettftext');

with this one

Code Select Expand

$can_do_ttf = false;

but nothing happens

all these files u said check before (<?php) and after (?>) i have checked all bu there isnt any space

i have installed recaptcha already but many users saying its to hard read characters really its too mixed very hard to read

Hello Rainboy7,

How about completely disabling Captcha to use one of the anti-bot mods. They serve the same purpose.

I'd recommend the Are You Human? (Anti-Bot Check). You can have more than one though.
Give them a shot and get back to us.

Hello buddy,

You can also install the Anti-Bot Registration Puzzles which will add a randomly chosen simple logic/math puzzle to the Registration page.
However, I really don't think reCaptcha is a bad idea, I mean - something like this isn't really difficult to read, they are just case sensitive.
