I seem to have a problem with my theme in that for anyone to make a comment on my posts they need to enter a captcha code which is not displayed. Is there some way of removing this security prompt?

Thanks

That's not theme related.  The theme doesn't use captcha.  Sounds like a plugin issue.

Ok, so i have asked around and asked wordpress experts to take a look and they said it wasnt a captcha, it was asking for a security code to leave a comment that noone knows and they said it was related to the theme. I dont have any plugins that ask for any captcha codes. Can you please check it out for me http://www.whoisjenniryan.com No one else seems to have an explanation.

thanks

It has to be in your WordPress install because it's not in my theme.  The page code even references this:

/wp-content/plugins/simpleCAPTCHA/

and this:

Simple CAPTCHA v1.5.1b by zorex

I don't know what experts you talked to, but it is absolutely a captcha and the javascript starts like this in your code:

// Reload the CAPTCHA
function reloadCaptcha() {
frm = document.getElementById(”simple_captcha”);
opacity(”simple_captcha”, 100, 0, 300);
count++;
frm.src = “http://whoisjenniryan.com/wp-content/plugins/simpleCAPTCHA/gdimg.php?re=” + count;
opacity(”simple_captcha”, 0, 100, 300);
}

Double check your plugins because it's in there somewhere.

Jenni, I see on Twitter that you had to go to your host account to see the plug-in within the WordPress install. Strange that you would have this affect, but not show the plug-in as installed within WordPress. Anyway, your site now looks great :)
