Captcha enabled by default

    This is a nasty feature – captcha should not be enabled by default on forms. For others who’ve tripped on this, it may be disabled on the template but there’s a captcha tab at the top of each form where you find it’s enabled. Wasted a lot of time fixing this.

    Hello @seekbeacon,

    Thank you very much for using our plugin. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

    The CAPTCHA was enabled by default in older versions of the plugin when forms were created, as this setting was configured as the default value of the corresponding database column. In recent releases, this behavior was changed, but your installation appears to predate that modification.

    If you would like to disable the CAPTCHA for all forms at once, you can simply configure it in the Default Settings section:

    • Untick the “Activate Captcha by Default”
    • Tick the “Apply to Existing Forms” option.
    • Press “Update” button.

    Once again, my sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

    Best regards,
    CodePeople Development Team

    When I checked earlier today it was already deselected on default settings. But all the forms I had already created now had Captcha selected, I didn’t even know this feature existed, and I certainly didn’t want it. AFAIK this feature was only added a few versions back but I have only just noticed it appear on the forms. I have never selected this as the forms are calculators inside a course. An update obviously added it as selected – not good practice.

    Hello @seekbeacon

    I understand your point. However, as I tried to explain previously, the database structure is shared across the different distributions of the plugin, and that column was configured as true in previous versions of the plugin.

    If you want to deactivate the CAPTCHA in all forms at once, please leave the checkbox unchecked, select the option to apply the modifications to every existing form, and then click the “Update” button.

    Best regards.
