So in a small advertisement raid in a community I got a few people trying to register but not being able to.

I have tried two different recent Captchas,

PHP-Captcha https://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=882
Crypto Catptcha: https://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=535

In my testing CryptoCaptcha never shows an image, and PHP-Captcha does not show at all.

I realize this could be due to theme issues, but I am using latest version of Bootstrap Default.

I have also checked relevant PHP libraries, like Imagick and those are available.

Site information:
https://lotroshots.net/
Piwigo 13.8.0
Installed on 10 July 2017, 6 years 2 months 2 weeks 2 days ago
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 8.1.22
Graphics Library: GD 2.3.3

What could be wrong?

This is kinda important. Registration is enabled on the site, and it has to be enabled.
A flawed captcha prevents correct registration.
Disabled captchas gives spam registration.

I need something to go on to troubleshoot this, tbh I think Captcha should be part of Piwigo Core, or included in the Community plugin. It is very important.

So after some additional troubleshooting I noted the GMAGICK was enabled on the server, instead of IMAGICK. (I wasn't even aware that GMAGICK existed). It had no effect on the images in albums.

Which is confusing since the PHPInfo told me IMAGICK was enabled. Not the PHPInfo summary from the site info in Piwigo, but the default one generated by PHP.

According to PHP.net GMAGICK is used as an image library
https://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.gma … nd%20TIFF.

Acording to PHP.net, same is valid for IMAGICK, I always used IMAGICK and do not get why I would want to use anything else. Neither works anyway.

So after reviewing this on the server and also doing some additional testing I was able to verify that none of the mentioned captchas work. Still.

So I began swapping themes around on my staging site: https://bullroarer.lotroshots.net/register.php . To my surprise: PHP-Captcha works in Modus Theme, I use bootstrap themes. It also works in Elegant, and probably a few more of the piwigo custom theme, but, again, not in any bootstrap-based themes I have tested so far.

Also filed an issue at the Github of the dev for PHP-Captcha.

So again I had to create a user manually in the community plugin since captcha in bootstrap do not work.

I have no clue how many don't register and just give up, not trying to reach out to me.

That's interesting... I am using Bootstrap default

Maybe using Bootstrap Darkroom but with another colour theme might work...

Nope, captcha image is still broken...

Tested with Boostrap Darkroom and the default theme... then I tested with something completely different.. Stripped responsive theme, still no working captcha

then I tried php Captcha again, but still nothing working and back to bootstrap darkroom > defult theme, and still nothing working...

Could it be a server dependency? My Webhost run CloudLinux

My theme is Theme: Bootstrap Darkroom 2.5.18 with Color theme Bootswatch Cyborg and Custom CSS.

The plugin is working, but fills my PHP error log file with:

PHP Deprecated: Using php-function "trim" as a modifier is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier. in /include/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_compile_private_modifier.php on line 114

as I reported already here: [Plugin] Crypto Captcha
