I am trying to prevent span programs creating dummy users on my site and would like to install capcha plugin but it is not on the list of available plugins.
How would I find version of my OJS and how to get capcha.
Thank you

Hi bubbleBoy,
You should modify the config.inc.php file in order to enable the Captcha function. Make sure that font is installed on your system. This the code from the file

Hi Adam,
I modified config.inc file but then when i checked if font is enabled i didnt see it enabled.
I have this enabled....
Font Size Block-This plugin provides sidebar font sizer but I dont see anywhere "Font" plugin.
Could you please advice me where and how to enable/get this plugin so I can get capcha running.
Thank you Adam

Hi bubbleBoy,
Ask your admin whether font is installed on the server and if it supports the IMLIB library. I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Adam
