No need to pay for support when having an issue with a provided theme...
The block for comment_capcha should be defined in yourcpgfolder/include/themes.inc.php... (and in yourcpgfolder/themes/sample/theme.php as example of what can be customized...)

Sounds like themes.inc.php is not correct - I would try re-uploading that file from our distribution and see if it fixes your problem.

Do you see this code in themes.inc.php:
Code: [Select]
<!-- BEGIN comment_captcha -->Just being sure we have a valid file...

Any other modifications made to the code?

Either themes/curve/theme.php or include/themes.inc.php has been modified.  You'll have to sort out which one and replace it with the correct file from the cpg1.5.46 distribution.

The only other rather remote possibility is that you are using a plugin that is causing problems. Temporarily rename the plugins folder (to maybe ppluginss), which will effectively disable all plugins, to see if that makes a difference.

renaming the plugins folder worked to fix this issue.  big thank you.  how do you recommend that i proceed now with the plugins folder renamed?
should i re-upload a fresh copy of the /plugins/ folder?

So one of your plugins is causing the problem. One method you could use would be to change the plugin folder name back to plugins and then uninstall plugins one at a time until the problem goes away again. Last plugin uninstalled was the problem one.

Please report back here and let us know what plugin was the problem.
