## Descrizione

[Captcha](https://getwpcaptcha.com/) adds GDPR compatible captcha code anti-spam
protection (like Google ReCaptcha) to WordPress forms – comments form, registration
form, lost password form, and login form. In order to post comments or register,
users have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated
bots & adds security. No external services (like Google ReCaptcha) are used. No 
API keys are needed, and no user-identifiable data is used so it’s GDPR compatible.

#### Funzionalità

 1. Captcha position – comments form, login form, registration form, or lost password
    form.
 2. Letters type – capital letters, small letters, or captial & small letters.
 3. Captcha type – alphanumeric, alphabets or numbers.
 4. Translation enabled.

seems to produce the same code nearly every time and fails. if I change from numeric
code to alphanumeric code it still produces the same numeric code. and it still 
fails.

I got surprised that, my fresh website sudden installed this plugin automatically.
Even i never seen their name ever. They hide the plugin from WP Plugin list and 
uses as core plugin and uses option on WP Setting. Offering premium plan and doing
huge spam. I recommend WP to remove their plugin for doing spam marketing and fraud
install.

A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with
REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close()
before making any HTTP requests. on the file wpcaptcha.php you should fix line 40
to 44 with this if ( !session_id() ) { session_start( [ ‘read_and_close’ => true,]);}
I had to find it my way out
