Captcha issue.

Grateful for any assistance with this.


Is there a way to disable the captcha feature as noticed a problem - when although I was putting in the right letters from the captcha, it states that the input is wrong.


See event log below.

Yes, You can disable CAPTCHA in Control Panel > Settings > Content Options > Captcha (Spam Prevention)

thanks for your help Kossut. I have disabled it for now. Ideally, it would be great for it to work so hopefully someone will see what the error might be. Thanks. H

That error is coming from a bot. Which means the captch control is doing its job. You can ignore the error.
