Hiring Code A Small WordPress Plugin

[HairyChick]

I need a small plugin coded for me. It's part of JetPack but I don't need the full plugin.

I want a script for various pages (registration, login, comment) that is like Captcha but different

"PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION -- CORRECTLY -- TO REGISTER/COMMENT/LOGIN" (I'll choose the right word on each form).

Five + Seven = [ ]

The script should have an editable form where I can enter the question & answer. If incorrect, it brings them back to the form with OOPS! WRONG ANSWER. TRY AGAIN!!

Three tries, then they're banned for 60 minutes.

You retain copyright. You can sell, offer it free, or hold it for ransom.

purple laptop at gmail dot com. My budget is very small but I pay fast. I'm told by a coder (I didn't hire him) that this is simple. He just has to copy the code from JetPack and add a few things. Uh, no. I don't want a rip of someone's code. Use it as a guide but don't copy it.

I want a script that's bot-proof ;)

The job has been filled. Thanks for applying. (This was the message I sent to all).

GFY folks are reasonable. I wanted to choose one but I'd already hired. I'll email him next time. Thank you to all who emailed me.

I posted this on the Wordpress site. One guy bid $100 because "his rent is due." Another wanted $350 and that was giving me a discount. How about $25 -- an hour -- but it will take five days?

The guy I chose has done work for me before. He will take an existing Captcha plugin and modify it. Custom coding is best but the budget doesn't stretch too far Years ago guys from foreign countries were dirt cheap. Now they want top dollar, payment up front (yeah, right) and list their former work sites as a resume, but I can't view the backend to test things.

Yeah, but years ago all they needed to know was html4, javascript and a little PERL for 90% of task.

Now they need html5, javascript, jQuery, php, mySQL, CSS3, tableless design and responsive design just to get started.
PLUS you also needed someone who understands how wordpress works with a plugin.

And let's not forget about inflation; almost nothing cost the same as years ago.

As far as foreign countries go; skilled internet workers don't have to accept inferior pay because of where they live.
Their work reaches across the planet into a true world market.

I don't get why you need an custom plugin; Try SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam or Fast Secure reCAPTCHA by Mike Challis...
(not affiliated; i just like the guys work, and these secure even more)

To secure your Wp site only a security layer on your login isn't going to do much.
Security plugins like Wordfence, Sucuri and Bulletproof Security could also do the trick.

There is no thing as bot proof; they evolve every day; but these plugins have proven them self over the years.
Most of the time a plugin ads an, to normal visitors non visible, extra box; logic is the bot will put some data in it, a visitor not.
Other ways are checking user agent, browser signature and blacklisting (email/IP addresses etc)

And as long as a plugin is released under the right licence you are allowed to rip it apart/clone it/modify it etc.
As long as you uphold the licence.

Thank you. My guy found a plugin that does exactly what I want. I only tested it once but it's great. Later I plan to try it on other sites.
