How can I customize it?

For WordPress version lower than 3.0, you can change the location of the
CAPTCHA field within the comment form by changing the location of the
‘comment_form’ call in your theme’s comments.php file. The CAPTCHA field
appears at the same location as the ‘comment_form’ call. The default location
for the ‘comment_form’ call can make it confusing for some people because the
CAPTCHA will appear after the submit button. I suggest you change it so that it
appears before the submit button. This is not necessary if you are using
version 3.0 or a higher version of WordPress.

You can customize the messages that are shown by changing the content of
$yaCaptchaCharInputMsg, $yaCaptchaCharNoMatchMsg and
$yaCaptchaCharAlternateCaptchaText in the yacaptcha.php file. The default
messages should be good enough for most English blogs.

You can customize the HTML code that is used in the comment section to match
your theme preferences by changing the code in the yaCaptchaCommentForm
function for WordPress version lower than 3.0 and in the
yaCaptchaCommentFormAfterFields function for WordPress version 3.0 or higher in
the yacaptcha.php file. The default HTML code match the default WordPress
theme.

You can customize the image properties like how many characters are shown or
which characters are used by changing values in the kcaptcha_config.php
file. The default values should be good enough for most people.

I cannot see the CAPTCHA when I am logged in

The CAPTCHA is not shown and it is not validated for logged in users. It
assumes that logged in users are already validated and they will not post
spam.

It does not work!

First, make sure that you meet all the requirements. If you are still
having problems, you can contact me.
