reCAPTCHA not appearing in Wordpress Plugins list

Summary: reCAPTCHA 2.5 not appearing in Wordpress list of plugins. To correct, either:

  • make the files to world readable: chmod a+r recaptcha*
  • chown them to the web server user (default is www-data on Debian w/ Apache 2): chown www-data:www-data recaptcha*


Background: reCAPTCHA is a captcha that helps to digitize books while protecting blogs from spam. Very cool.

Problem: I unzipped the files, moved them into the plugins directory, but it didn’t show up. Wordpress could not read the file.

Solution: See summary.
