Movable Type 4.1 and reCAPTCHA

So far, I have been using Movable Type’s default CAPTCHA plugin. Today I switched to reCAPTCHA. The instructions provided by John Carter did not work for me. Here is the approach I followed to enable reCAPTCHA on this blog.

1. Install Movable Type 4.1.

2. Copy contents of /extras/examples/plugins/reCaptcha into /plugins/reCaptcha directory.

3. Open /plugins/reCaptcha/reCaptcha.pl and change the following lines from

settings => new MT::PluginSettings([
['recaptcha_publickey', { Scope   => 'blog' }],
['recaptcha_privatekey', { Default => Scope   => 'blog' }],
]),

settings => new MT::PluginSettings([
['recaptcha_publickey', { Default => 'your reCAPTCHA public key', Scope   => 'blog' }],
['recaptcha_privatekey', { Default => 'your reCAPTCHA private key', Scope   => 'blog' }],
]),

4. Rebuild entry archives.
