reCaptcha
This plugin is compatible with the Movable Type 4 Captcha API, which uses reCaptcha as its CAPTCHA image provider.
The plugin users are required to register their blogs to recaptcha.net and get public/private key pair, in order to use this plugin.
Step-by-step guide can be found in the [README file](https://github.com/movabletype/mt-plugin-recaptcha in this plugin.

This plugin doesn't work on a default 4.1 Personal install. The instructions regarding the JavaScript template simply don't apply and I assume that's the reason it doesn't work.
Attempting to go back to version 0.1 since I did get that version to work.

The plugin works fine for me on my default 4.1 Personal install. I am curious which line in the README does not apply. Would you elaborate it a little more, please?

I used it on a default 4.1 personal install successfully as well, but I wasn't thrilled that it doesn't install cleanly as just a plugin.

I've had it installed and it was working fine for anonymous comments. While enabled, though, the registration to the blog does not work. If I turn off reCaptcha, it works fine. Anyone have a solution for this?

registration is definitely broken - captcha does not show up.

@mikeheu @Jon C Sorry about that. It was a bug and I think I was able to fix it in the version 0.21. It would be great if you could give the new code a try. Thanks for the report!

Still no go on the registration. It seems to be in an infinite loop without actually verifying the text as correct even though it is entered correctly.

I am having the same problem as the commenter before me. I am using MT 4.24 and followed the instructions you outlined. However, when I test the Recaptcha, every single time I get the same error message: "Text entered was wrong. Try again." I can't seem to find any info on any of the discussion forums on how to fix this...

I installed, followed all the steps in the ReadMe file and got reCaptcha to be displayed on my MT 4.23 Pro installation. However, it seems to take any words that I type in without doing any verification. Am I missing something?

update to my last comment. I'm running 4.23 Pro+Community, and FastCGI (for performance reason). Upon debugging the reCaptcha.pm module, it seems that incoming requests are alternately handled as follows: - requests would bypass the subroutine 'validatecaptcha' and always return a 1, ie. always successful - requests would run the subroutine 'validatecaptcha', and always get a response (from recaptcha.net/verify) with a blank string, and a code of 500, and is thus, always translated into 0, unsuccessful
Why is the call to 'http://api-verify.recaptcha.net/verify' always return a 500?

I also have the ReCaptcha displaying ok but text (or no text at all) always verifies ok. Running 4.34 Pro (without FastCGI).
I'm assuming the plugin hooks up the validation automatically? I've installed the plugin, put my keys in via the plugin settings and modified the Comment Form to display this ok. I've set the Comment settings for the blog to use ReCaptcha rather than default...anyone have any suggestions/help?
