Getting ***invalid***

Your plugin was working fine for the last few days I had it installed, courtesy of “Plugin Podcast” talking about it. Anyway was working fine then this morning suddenly began receiving the ***invalid*** message in the image box. Any ideas?

I’m using WordPress v2.7.1/PHP5/GD & Font library both installed and working fine. As I said worked prior to this morning.

Clicking on the image for audio gives me the following message: That anti-spam number is no longer valid.

I've logged out to see if there is any difference from IE & Firefox, same result.

My website is http://www.louiealvarez.com to check it out.

Did you install any plugins or do anything to your site before the apparent sudden change? Do you use a caching program? What you are describing sounds like an issue with a caching program, in which case you should set the "Use JavaScript to generate anti-spam code" setting to "Yes".

I'm getting the same "invalid" problem. I have been using the plugin for two years and never faced it before. I tried enabling "Use Javascript to generate....." but it didn't work.
I haven't installed any other plugins or did any changes, but yesterday, without notice, my "discussion" setting in wordpress became disabled by itself. Then I reenabled it, everything was fine for around 24 hours, but now the plugin isn't working. I disabled it and everything else is fine.
Any ideas on how to get it to work again?

Hi Roba,

If you are on a shared hosting environment, something might have changed in the PHP or Apache configurations. First, try checking the Settings > Custom anti-spam menu for any clues on requirements that might no longer be met. Then, try uninstalling and removing the current plugin, then manually upgrading to the latest version of the plugin.
