CF7 + reCaptchV3 + WP5.1 = message not sent (orange border)

    Hi, I’m joining the chorus of “message not sent” problems since upgrading to WP 5.1. I read all the related threads here, so I’ll try to answer all the questions up front. I had to remove reCaptcha from my website to make it functional, so I can’t give you a URL that demonstrates the problem.

    I’m using Contact Form 7 v5.1.1. I originally set it up on WordPress 4.9.x with reCaptcha V2 using an older version of CF7. When CF7 was enhanced to support reCaptcha V3, I got new keys from Google and update my integration accordingly. It was working beautifully. Spam was a thing of the past, and visitors to my site weren’t bothered with any “real human” tests. Kudos, and thanks for doing this.

    A couple days ago, I upgraded from WordPress 4.9 to 5.1. There were no other changes. When I went to test my site, I started receiving the “message not sent” message surrounded by an orange border whenever submitting a form.

    The only thing that changed was the version of WordPress, so it seems that something is not clicking properly between WP5.1 and CF7.

    I removed the reCaptcha integration to get my site working again. It didn’t take long for the spammers to find me. I’m desperate to get this working again. Please let me know if you need any more details of my installation.

    I’m using WP5.1 and CF75.1.1 on several sites with reCAPTCHA v3 without problems – I get dozens of emails every day from these sites.

    This could be because CF7’s JavaScript is no longer completing correctly including running reCAPTCHA v3.

    This might be due to a caching issue or a conflict with your WP theme or one of the other plugins you are using. In your case a conflict in another plugin, occurring after the WP 5.1 update, could now be interring with the CF7 JavaScript.

    Thanks for the response. I’ll try a few things to see if I can get it sorted out.

    One more question: I’m stuck with a low-speed and somewhat unreliable mobile internet connection at the moment. Could that be affecting the script?

    Thanks again.

    Probably not if you are getting the CF7 error message.
