FAQ

How do I customize the HTML Markup?

Create a file named ‘captcha.php’

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)
