Contact Form 7 version 5.4

I’m somewhat confused with this.

Are we to install the wp consent api? Or choose a different contact form option?

Cf7 5.4 has some major issues reported and isn’t functional.

I understand if I’m on <5.4 everything is fine. But you also mention google recaptcha.

What if we have a separate recaptcha v3 plugin?

So what is it we are to do? Install wp consent api and all is well or choose a different contact form plugin.
?

Hi @dfounde, and everyone else;

Due to the newest update from CF7, we cannot integrate with CF7 to control consent for reCaptcha. The latest update from Complianz will detect the issue and drop the integration because the form will otherwise break. This means reCaptcha is not blocked prior to consent with both plugins up-to-date.

You can indeed revert back to CF7 5.3.2, but you are unable to update if you want to use the reCaptcha integration from CF7.

You have some alternatives;

Remove the reCaptcha integration from CF7 and;
– Install Friendly Captcha (No consent needed)
– Install a Honeypot for ContactForm 7 (No consent needed)
– Install Akismet, as a spam prevention tool
– Install a reCaptcha plugin with an integration for both CF7 and Complianz. Replacing the native reCaptcha solution from CF7

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks @aahulsebos, I’ve decided to go with wp forms. I’ve used CF7 for years. But it’s becoming too complicated with other plugins. It’s like the developer doesn’t want to integrate.

So I use wp forms. With their recaptcha v3 I’m presuming there’s no issues with this integration?

Hi @dfounde,

I will write an article for this purpose, will be live tomorrow.

Hi @dfounde,

https://complianz.io/how-to-implement-recaptcha-and-consent-for-wp-forms/

Does this article makes sense, or do you have any questions so I can adjust.

@aahulsebos yes very clear! Thanks.

However. I set my recaptcha in the complianz settings to auto block. Once accept all is clicked recaptcha works.

So I’m my case. I don’t need to use your guide? Am I correct?
