Contact Form 7 vs Google ReCaptcha V3 – Form won’t validate

  • Hi.

    When I have Google ReCaptcha V3 integrated with my Contact Form 7 forms, they do not validate and come back with the error message under the form “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”

    If I remove the integration for Google ReCaptcha V3 the form sends and validates.

    WP Version 5.9
    Contact Form 7 Version 5.5.4

    I googled the issue and found this resource which someone posted, but hesitant to try a third party plugin to resolve.

    Can the Contact Form 7 Authors/Developers look into this please?

    Thanks.

  • I had to remove the google recaptcha and write my own custom spam filtering. I’ve added the invisible field and use filter ‘wpcf7_spam’ from documentation:
    https://contactform7.com/2020/07/18/custom-spam-filtering/

    Hope this helps someone.

    I have the same issue. I’ve use “CAPTCHA 4WP” plugin, and the form sends successfully. however the reCAPTCHA badge doesn’t showing up. anyone can resolve this issue?

    Hi all,

    Sorry to bother you with my problems but I am getting out of my region of knowledge. I hope you can give me some leads for solving this issue.
    I am having issues switching from reCAPTCHA v2 to v3 in combination with Contact Form 7 v5.6.4 on my website.

    I have done the following steps to scope down the problem:

    • Disabled Really Simple CAPTCHA v2.1
    • Installed Flamingo v2.3 (as advised by FAQ about reCAPTCHA v3)
    • Disabled more plugins (although I am hesitant to bring down the site’s security)
    • Read through the reCAPTCHAv3 documentation on Google
    • Found the following with Chrome’s developer tools:
      <script type="javascript/blocked" src="" id="google-recaptcha-js" data-src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=myownkey&ver=3.0" class="hu-blocked" data-hu-category="2"></script>

    My questions (sorry for the amount):

    1. Is the Really Simple CAPTCHA v2.1 plugin still advised to be used in combination with Contact Form 7 v5.6.4?
    2. Is it normal that the reCAPTCHAv3 script is blocked?
    3. Where can I find a worked out example of reCAPTCHAv3 and Contact Form 7?
    4. How can I best continue to debug this?

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out.
