Impossible to remove the Captcha

Post by loforumbebe »

Hello,

After I migrated my site from 3.3.1 to 3.3.4, I had a connection problem:
https://helloforumbebe.ch/
When I try with a correct code, it puts me (supposedly) an invisible captcha....
Link:
https://prnt.sc/1tu0gdk

I will either have to remove it, but I can't access the ACP console anymore.
How can I disable it via SQL?
Also, I see that it also has a problem with the theme, it's not the basic one.

Anyway, if you have a solution so I can connect to the console again, that would be great.
Thanks in advance

See you soon.

PS: I can't remove maintenance either...

It could to be a (paid) style issue, since in the register page shows a captcha correctly. Have you tried contacting its author?

You can set the default captcha plugin running the following SQL query (phpMyAdmin, pgAdmin, etc.):

Code: Select all

UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'core.captcha.plugins.gd' WHERE config_name = 'captcha_plugin';
After that you might need to purge the cache manually, that is, removing the content of the cache/production/ directory.

Note: The GD Captcha is broken, it provides no protection at all, so after login to the ACP, you'll need to change it.

Change phpbb_ if your table prefix is different.
