I am trying to use the captcha on the form and when I upload to the site it is not showing the image. If I view the page on my local computer the image shows. I have not changed anything in the original form except for the email address and name. I have put the form itself in a template, but everything seems to be OK. Any ideas?

The code uses the GD2 library to create the image on the fly. It is possible it is not enabled on your remote server. If you try to view the captcha image src location directly will it show? If not the problem is with the GD library not being installed properly on the live server.

Found the problem. The font used in the captcha was not getting copied to the server. When I changed the font to one that did get copied to the server, it worked. Thanks for your quick response.

I'm having the same problem. How do I go through the process of changing the font to one that gets copied to the server?

To use a different font you can change the value in the globals file from this:
$WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Font = "Fonts/MOM_T___.TTF" ;
To match one of the other fonts that are available in the WA_ValidationToolkit > Fonts folder.
If you can see the captcha on the the default page but not the one you add to make sure that the paths for the captcha image match what is on the page, by default the image looks like this:
<img src="WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php
You need to make sure it is in the same directory as the WA_ValidationToolkit folder.
