WordPress 3.0 changes how automatic updates are handled.</p> <p>We released an update to Gravity Forms before WordPress 3.0 was released to make it compatible, but you didn't update at that time and then updated your WordPress version which rendered the automatic update functionality in Gravity Forms obsolete. </p> <p>You will have to download the latest version from the Plugin Downloads page and manually install the new version. Automatic update will then work for future versions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-not-recognizing-really-simple-captcha#post-34864 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:46:31 +0000 nicheplayer 34864@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>And, after a manual deactivation+delete of the old version and install of the latest GF...

You're way behind here. I don't think we even had support for the Really Simple Captcha in that version. The current release version is 1.5.2.8 - you'll find it on the downloads page if you need to get it manually or you should be able to run the auto-updates from the plugin page if you have correctly activated your license key in the form settings. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-not-recognizing-really-simple-captcha#post-34826 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:05:06 +0000 nicheplayer 34826@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>fyi - Versions<br /> WP: 3.1<br /> Gravity Forms: 1.3.11 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-not-recognizing-really-simple-captcha#post-34825 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:03:26 +0000 nicheplayer 34825@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>re: Using Really Simple Captcha plugin (v1.2)</p> <p>Instruction: Simply install and activate the Really Simple Captcha (RSC) plugin and 2 new Captcha options will appear on the Captcha field. </p> <p>Result: Still getting the regular Captcha field with no RSC options.
