Search Results for 'recaptcha'

thanks for tips, we have resolved this issue

for any others who might have similar issues, our problem is our “WP reCaptcha Integration” plugin, we have to turn off his “signup form” , “login form” and “lost password form” to get this work

thanks!

Hi Bogdan,

Thank you very much for helping.
It was Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft plugin that was breaking everything.
Now it’s working very good.

I think I misspoke . When I allow enrollment, 60% of new subscribers are bots.

Is it possible to integrate reCAPTCHA in registration form theme?

thx Alin
unfortunately I’m not able to resolve the issue. At this moment all plugins are deactivated except composer and I get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_base_recaptcha_lang_code

I think I played too much with fucntion.php would be cool if someone would take a look and I think the prob for the jquery messages may lay here too.

EDIT: ok I commented the lang part out and now it works, somehow it was anyway double. The slider is also visible now though the thumbs and image are scaled too large, how can fix that one ?
On the jquery error before I assume I activate plugins one by one and see where the pain comes right ? and off I go..

Hi,

The problem was the reCAPTCHA from A2 Optimized plugin, I disabled it and installed a new one.
Now its working.

One more question, I would like to know how can I change the size of the blocks Titles

Thank you very much!

That was strange, I disabled Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) and my web site came back. Also fixed my bad links. Is Google doing more than Captcha? It has been in use for almost a year.

I really liked it for the WP login and registration.

Kevin

1) remove all external loading elements like social media, advertising, recaptcha, and anything which loads css or js as part of its content; anything not part of the theme

2) use the minification tools I’ve suggested in the pagespeed sticky topic – such as online minification tools, or use the GTMetrix optimized versions provided during the site scan

Basically you need to take the CSS and JS files which PageSpeed is saying need to be minified, and then copy those from your theme directory, minify them, then save the minified version over the original.

One tool to minify the CSS is here:
http://cssminifier.com/

or
http://gpbmike.github.io/refresh-sf/

After you have your minified versions, say of style.css you would need to FTP the minified version(s) to your web site into the wp-content/themes/newspaper folder in the appropriate place.

NOTE: you need to clear all caching, turn OFF caching, and then upload the optimized versions, so that the new versions get cached not the old ones.

3) see 2

If you have a page speed of “82”
then be sure to
1) have faster web hosting account
2) ensure that gzip/deflate are working on your server (mandatory!)
3) enable expires headers (mandatory!)
4) optimize your images

All of this is well covered in the PageSpeed sticky topic in the forum. Optimization of your server, content, and htaccess or nginx config files are not part of the theme.

There is no way for you to optimize external content such as AdSense, AddThis, Recaptcha, Disqus, etc. which are not being served on your actual site.

For max speed you will need to use web safe fonts (not Google fonts), and then comment out the fonts in your functions.php file.

Anything that connects to multiple external systems and has to get a response will slow down the site; everything like recaptcha, jetpack, adsense, social plugins which “go out an get data and then bring it back to cache” and similar — all slow things down since it’s not happening “locally.” (As I’m sure you already know.) You would likely disable the theme’s function to “count” reads/shares from other sites, and try using something like AddThis which can also do this for you. Ironically, the reason the calls to the APIs in the functions.php is done to avoid having to use external plugins and for most of us makes site run faster than using external plugs. But every site is different, and part of the development process is picking/choosing how to add/adjust things on page for best user experience and performance.

Note also that WP-Postview was updated this week to address issues folks were having with Ajax and Cache, so might be worth revisiting that setup with new version.

Not sure if that helped at all, but my two cents.

Hi,
you may want to read through the entire pagespeed topic (big sticky top of the forum), as all of this has been well covered there.

Generally you can’t do anything about things like addthis (although I did post a hack to load that in async mode), or jetpack – as those load on other servers and will show up as errors when you run pagespeed analytics. If it’s not loading off your site, it will likely show up as an error of some kind – this includes recaptcha, adsense ads, etc.

Not sure what you mean about looking at source code of theme vs source code of the page — the theme code is not rendered while the code on your site is rendered with all the stuff coming from dbase and external and queries, etc. If you’re trying to compare the “demo” to your pages, that may not work either. You should follow the instructions to setup the cache (remember you need to CLEAR cache every time you change things like htaccess, new plugin, etc.), the speed booster, the page expires time.

For realistic speed – test without addthis, adsense, or jetpack. Then put that stuff back and decide how much impact you want to have on your site. I use addthis for social buttons on one site, and then the theme stuff on another. I don’t use jetpack as it’s slow and I hate loading stuff from a mothership that isn’t my own. I limit number of ads on page (4 ads will be slow if images!) – try loading text only ads, to speed up page!

But a *lot* of this, if not all, has been covered in the pagespeed topic. So, best to start there, and remember it’s virtually impossible to get above 91-93 in desktop with a busy site, lots of pix, wordpress theme, external stuff. Mobile will be slower, no matter what you do. 76+ isn’t too awful right now. 80+ is goal. 65 would be awful. To really optimize for mobile requires making a version of page which most newspaper sites won’t do, and that is mostly text, one picture, minimal navigation, etc.

Google sadly doesn’t differentiate from “tablet friendly” and “iphone friendly.” SO, I’ve stopped crying over trying for a perfect score on phones — it’s not my primary audience. Tablets are, then desktop.

Anyway… that might not help. But
1) set cache to page cache ONLY
2) don’t use any minification stuff until you have speed booster plugin working right
3) make sure your htaccess has expires headers
4) make sure your web server is doing gzip/deflate
5) optimize your images prior to upload; if possible use my hack to increase compression level for thumbnails (or use smush.it or similar; I prefer to edit my functions.php file to change compression to “50”)
6) run your speed tests
7) turn off anything you don’t absolutely NEED if you’re seeking highest score
8) test and retest

THEME UPDATES:
I find it’s best to fully over-write the old theme with NEW theme folder each time, via FTP. I’ve had mixed results with “patching” over the past 10 years with WP sites, and more often than not they break somewhere due to permissions.

Frankly, it’s good habit, since you can also download a full snapshot via FTP before you do an update, to ensure you have a full snapshot. I date and RAR mine here for archival purposes.

Typically you’d use the recaptcha plugin or similar which hooks into Google’s recaptcha API -or- an alternative. This one has gotten some good reviews, but I’ve not yet tried it. http://wordpress.org/plugins/botdetect-wp-captcha/

we’ve used this one for years, but it looks like the person managing it is moving on to other things; note that since Google has started doing plugins for WP, they make take it on: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha/

the developer of that has recommended looking at this as an alternative
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-recaptcha/

Most of the issues with social sharing are issues with the actual social media sites and their code which must be loaded by the theme to do things like “call” number of likes — that isn’t done by the theme. So, some things are impossible to “optimize” as they are not PageSpeed friendly. This also includes AdSense, ReCaptcha, YouTube, etc.

“the best social sharing codes” are those provided by each social media outlet with async loading; but the elements are still loading from that other site which you have zero control over.

For best PageSpeed you would need to use something like a single pill button from AddThis, or create locally hosted icon images which only “post” to the social media sites and have no interaction such as showing number of likes/shares — all that data coming from those sites like Twitter, FB, and G+ will cause PageSpeed issues.

Just some info on that. I’ve spent a ton of time on this issue and there is no perfect solution, unfortunately.

The demo is likely using the elements that Radu recommends from the thread:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

So, make sure you’ve done all that. And adding the elements to your htaccess is good practice for ALL wordpress sites (all websites in general really), and the theme can’t fix issue with web hosting, caching, headers for expiration, et al.

Note also in his demo he’s not using adsense (Google Ads), recaptcha for comments, some social media hogs, or plugins that abusively insert additional not-needed CSS files in the header. SO, generally for your own speed optimization, presume to turn anything OFF which inserts bad behavior stuff (like, ironically Google’s own ad stuff much of the time).

But the page Radu has (linked above) tells you the basics of what he did to optimize the theme.

HI,
if you’re using a cache plugin with “page cache” on that should work.
Many hosting providers also run caching software of varying kinds, but not all websites may have that function depending on plan and how they setup VPS or containers for different customer classes. eacclerator, optcache, memcache, etc.

The .htaccess file goes in the root of your public document area (e.g., httpdocs/yoursitename/public – same place that wp-content lives), and is more easily seen with an FTP application that can show hidden files ( .htaccess is the file name – the dot makes it hidden ). Or, if you’re using something like YOAST SEO, there is an “edit files” option to make additions to the file (which is what I do). It is there, as WordPress writes it’s “rewrite” rules to that file. In your web hosting account there may be a “file manager” which would let you edit it, also.

Smush.it is the popular choice, however it only works on new files not existing ones. I think “regenerate thumbnails” may work when smushit is on, but check the help support on that for those plugins.

What amazes me are the problems you and I can’t do much about
a) issues with Google AdSense
b) issues with social media elements
c) issues with recaptcha (I just turned this off); powered by Google
d) issues with Disqus or any comment platform including the one from automatic

The most hilarious issue is that we installed Google’s “mod_pagespeed” system on our web server, and now it’s saying that there is a PageSpeed error since PageSpeed inserted three 1×1 pixel graphics and isn’t specifying their height and width.

Seriously?

So, basically from my experience wrangling this the past few months, if you want to know your real pagespeed run it with
1) ads off ! You will get pagespeed errors from Google ads.
2) social media off – you will get error from twitter
3) if you use Addthis, as we do – you need to hack the plugin to add the #async=1 option at end of javascript string.

It’s a process that will end up being frustrating at some point. No way around issues with Google’s own products generating errors. SO, they penalize page speed for using their services. Crazy.

I thought Radu or Marius said someplace that better font selection was one of the action items on their custom admin panel, since the current setup is hampered just a little bit by the built-in WP panel they have built options into.

But yes, having option to use web safe fonts would be an excellent option to see in an upcoming version.

Of course always good to remember that Google kind of gives some false positives on
1) fonts
2) adsense
3) recaptcha
4) google+ buttons

they find errors in their own code being loaded on the page; such as image dimensions on ad units missing, CSS for font styles loading off their CDN, recaptcha images needing “more optimization” etc.

A good “goal” for Page Speed right now, based on industry think, is
target desktop = 90 or higher
mobile = 80 or higher

anything below 75 mobile and below 85 desktop would be considered “poor”
but the world won’t crash into the sun if you have a heavily loaded page getting 79 mobile and 89 desktop for the forseeable future, as that is still above the average for 90% of the web.

Well… you may have some other plugin that creates or registers a “twitter” field for managing that data.

In my case I’m using Yoast SEO, NOT using Jetpack, and in my user’s account setup, I put in the full URL, and it shows up on both the author page and the posts with correct link.

by way of example:
see this old article on the site in progress to revamp with Newspaper:

post:
http://publishersnewswire.com/2013/08/29/PNW2766_163853.php/whilly-bermudez-talks-new-illustrated-childrens-book-wb-10-good-things/

note link on page is:
https://twitter.com/tophersimmons

on author page/index
https://twitter.com/tophersimmons

and on the post in the head meta data, note the bug

<meta name=”twitter:site” content=”@neotrope”/>
<meta name=”twitter:domain” content=”Publishers Newswire”/>
<meta name=”twitter:creator” content=”@https://twitter.com/tophersimmons”/>
<!– / Yoast WordPress SEO plugin. –>

In my user account I have this in the twitter field:
https://twitter.com/tophersimmons

I’m using the latest version of WP, latest version of Newspaper.

Only plugins I’m using are Yoast, WP-Optimize, our house ad module turned off, and I think we have Recaptcha running. Maybe something else, but it escapes me at the moment.

Hi, Marius
yes, as noted, when I try to “hide” the superuser account (changed from admin to another name), it still shows up when placed into the default sidebar using the td author widget. Alternately, if I use visibility to only pick 3 out of the 4 authors to make visible, it still shows the 4th superuser account.

The superuser account should not show up in the author widget, even though the superuser is technically an author of perhaps a “page” when they are created.

The only plugins I have active beyond your core set is the Yoast SEO properly configured, the WP optimize, recaptcha and akismet. I also tried disabling jetpack, which I’m not using at the moment anyway.

(I’ve been a WordPress dev since 2005, so not a newbie.)
