  • Open the file: components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml
  • You will find a XML tage here at the end like:

<field
name=”captcha”
type=”captcha”
label=”COM_USERS_CAPTCHA_LABEL”
description=”COM_USERS_CAPTCHA_DESC”
validate=”captcha”
/>

  • CUT THIS CODE AND SAVE THE FILE
  • Now, open the file: plugins/user/profile/profiles/profile.xml
  • Now, paste the above cut code just above the closing fieldset tag .i.e. </fieldset>
  • SAVE THE FILE AND you are DONE !!!

Warning!! The above steps work perfectly fine in frontend, but when you go to the backend, in user manager, when you click on any user you might get and error like this
