Usage

We've tried to make it very simple to use Captcha.

  1. Select Extensions → Plug-in Manager from the drop-down menu of the Joomla! Administrator Panel.
  2. Edit the Plug-In "Captcha - SecurImage"
    • Set Status to "Published"
    • Change the settings accordingly to your needs. Below is a screenshot of all the available settings;
  3. Go to System → Global Configuration, and select the "Site" tab.
    Choose "SecurImage" in your "Default Captcha" field.
    Click Save & Close.
  4. Depending on the form you need to protect with SecurImage you might have to go to the component Options and enable captcha there;

IMPORTANT: If you are using Akeeba Admin Tools you must access the ".htaccess maker" and add the folder "plugins/captcha/securimage/lib" into "Allow direct access, including .php files, to these directories" in order for the images to generate and be visible.
