MrMayberry Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Pandrei, Thanks for the response. I am looking but don't see that as an option under my admin? I am running "Current version 4.08.54127" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be available in the updated version, which we are going to release this week. nordicsolution 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something, maybe another setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandrei Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Open Admin > Settings > Cache Control, select Migration apply and click Flush button. Then check settings again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMayberry Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Pandrei, I tried the Migration Tool but did not work or at least didn't change my login page or register page? Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandrei Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 @MrMayberry What version is displayed in App Shop > System update? If it is not 4.11, just apply the latest updates. Then check Captcha on create account field in Configuration::Customer Details. If it is not TRUE, change it. If the Captcha is not showing, go to Settings > Configuration > My Store and set the Preferred use ReCaptcha option to FALSE. If you want to use Google RECAPTCHA, read this wiki page https://www.oscommerce.com/wiki/Generating_Keys_for_Google_Recaptcha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMayberry Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 @pandrei Yes I was on 4.09, it had some of the captcha settings but not all of them. I followed your directions updated to 4.11, then turned on the captcha settings, and even went on to turn on google recaptcha. It is working great! Thanks for the follow thru... osCommerce-Official 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
