## FAQ

### The field does not show up in a form?

In the current form of implementation the field is not shown for logged in users.
Try to visit the as anonymous user (e.g. in another browser or log out first).

Of course, just go to ‘Settings > Eazy CF Captcha’ menu and there you have an input
field, where you can change the text to whatever you want.

### How do I customize the HTML Markup?

 1. Make a new folder called ‘eazy-cf-captcha’ in your current template folder
 2. Create a file named ‘captcha.php’
 3. Copy the content from ‘your-wordress-folder/wp-content/plugins/eazy-cf-captcha/
    views/public/captcha.php’ and ‘your-wordress-folder/wp-content/plugins/eazy-cf-
    captcha/views/public/captcha-field.php’ or write your own HTML
 4. Two variables are available in the template: `$options` for all options set in 
    the backend and `$exercise`, an array filled with the variables and operators for
    the exercise (see ‘your-wordress-folder/wp-content/plugins/eazy-cf-captcha/views/
    public/captcha-field.php’ for usage)

### 󠀁[PHP Session staying active / REST API issues + FIX](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-session-staying-active-rest-api-issues-fix/)󠁿

 [tjdyo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tjdyo/) February 18, 2022

This plugin causes 2 critical issues on Site Health tests. WHen the plugin is installed,
you get these issues: An active PHP session was detected 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.
The REST API encountered an error The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications,
communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies
on this to display, and save, your posts and pages. The REST API request failed 
due to an error. Error: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds
with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed) I Fixed the issue by editing the EazyCFCPublicBase.
php file which is located here: /includes/PluginPublic/EazyCFCPublicBase.php I changed
this line: if ( !session_id() ) { session_start(); } to: if ( !session_id() ) { 
session_start( [ 'read_and_close' => true, ] ); }
