• Since updating and changing to Google v3, we are getting relentless spam. The little Google logo is appearing in the bottom right so all the set up seems fine.

    Any clues to help me fix it?

  • To not load the badge in all pages, perhaps not loading scripts and captcha in all pages may help. I have this code:

    function contactform_dequeue_scripts() {
    
        $load_scripts = false;
    
        if( is_singular() ) {
        	$post = get_post();
    
        	if( has_shortcode($post->post_content, 'contact-form-7') ) {
            	$load_scripts = true;
    			
    		}
    
        }
    
        if( ! $load_scripts ) {
            wp_dequeue_script( 'contact-form-7' );
    	wp_dequeue_script('google-recaptcha');
            wp_dequeue_style( 'contact-form-7' );
    		
        }
    
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'contactform_dequeue_scripts', 99 );

    And only load captcha and wpcf7 scripts and styles where I use wpcf7 forms.

    lofesa Thank you for helping. I’ve archived all of the “I have that problem too” replies.

    If you need support instead of piling onto topics per the forum guidelines please start your own topic.

    You can do so here.

    Hi @jdembowski
    Sorry if you consider this a spamming way.

    Some like that?

    No, no, your reply was perfect and I was thanking you for that. Thanks!

    This sub-forum is the author’s. If you wish to reply with a link to the post which I’ve closed, cool.

    The reason I’ve close it is that users with problems really should start their own topic. That’s how these forums work and it helps let the author know about a wide spread problem. I don’t want users to reply/jump on other people’s topic unless they are helping the original person. Which you have done very well.

    @jdembowski – if we’re all having the same problem, why open different topics about it. Seems like it would be better just to have one thread that helps with the specific issue, instead of scores of the same issue.

    I would agree with you save for the fact that that’s not how these forums work. As I’ve already indicated.

    NOTE! As you likely are aware, I have nothing to do with this plugin. I’m just another forum moderator though I do think the plugin author is amazing and helpful.

    @codesmithsf I’m also not the plugin author but I try to answer questions in this forum most days.

    I’d like to emphasize that comments like “I’m having the same problem” are definitely mostly not helpful for people answering questions in this forum.

    One problem is that most times it’s just not true. While it may look like the same problem on the surface, to a user, it’s usually actually a slightly or even significantly different issue under the hood.

    Secondly, and I think more importantly, if I try to answer the actual problem described in subsequent similar but not exactly the same comments, my response tends to takeover the original persons question.

    So I don’t answer “same problem here” comments which means the commenters question is less likely to be answered.

    Hi,

    I think letting users say they have the same problem is useful, it helps bring it to the developers attention sooner rather than later, helpful when there isn’t a thumb up and down feature to bump a common problem up to the top.

    Thank you lofesa for the suggestion, I have tried your code but still got the spam. The problem i have is that the new V3 integration isn’t blocking any any spam at the moment.

    Spam is annoying but hopefully the developer has seen the topics and is aware and I will hold out for a future update to see if there is a fix.

    Thanks to all plug-in authors, I hate bug reporting on something so valuable useful and free x
