Contact Form 7 not Sending Emails After Upgrading to PHP 7.4.9

    I read other posts about contact form 7 not emailing after a user upgrades PHP from 7.2. After I upgraded PHP from 7.2 to 7.4.9, Contact Form 7 is unable to send emails.

    This is not an urgent request so I’m not including the website address (as I already deactivated CF7).

    Note: CF7 worked fine until after upgrading to PHP 7.4.9 two days ago.

    I use another form/widget in my sidebar from SendInBlue. It’s able to send emails flawlessly. The comment form for the blog also works fine. All other plugins are working fine, too.

    I have not installed any new plugins since updating PHP. Of course, maybe CF7 and one of the existing plugins are no longer co-operating after the PHP update. I will delay troubleshooting for a few weeks due to work demands.

    For now, I will just swap my one CF7 form for another provider’s form (or not even use a form, since I want to further improve my website’s loading speed).

    I like CF7 and am confident all will be well soon. Otherwise, I will need to “LearnToCode.”

    Simple solution! It turns out the problem was with the integration with Google’s v3 ReCaptcha. I removed the keys and CF7 can successfully email. So, the PHP upgrade might have caused a problem with the security keys/integration. I’ll probably just need to reinsert the keys.

    However, I plan to test CF7’s native functionality — Quizes and/or HoneyPots.

    By the way, my other form by SendInBlue uses v2 Captcha, which probably explains why it wasn’t affected by the PHP upgrade.
