Add standard captcha to registration page

Question

I want to add the standard captcha from Magento to our customer registration page. Now I saw that you can enable this captcha in the configuration (System -> Configuration -> Customer Configuration -> CAPTCHA -> Enable Captcha on Front-end). But when I do that and I go to the registration page, there is still no captcha. But when I click on the registration button I get the message:

Incorrect CAPTCHA.

Is there somewhere a tutorial or something? Because I only found it for the contact page and nothing for the registration page.

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

After you configure form for registration the default registration form will be updated with new fields. The preview for the form will be disabled and "Web-form is not available for direct access." will be shown instead - it is done to prevent non-registration submissions.

Configuration parameters

Enable

Enables customization of the default registration form.

Registration web-form

Choose web-form to append to default registration form.

With

"Displaying Mode" set to "Always"

it is showing fine.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, probably you need to go to the system-->configuration-->Advanced and then enable the the Mage_Captcha. I hope it helps

Answer 3

New registration CAPTCHA's are in a slightly different area. Go to:

Settings > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration:

Turn on: Enable CAPTCHA on Frontend then sort out the configuration to suit your needs i.e. characters used and if case-sensitive etc
