Lots of Spam With ReCaptcha 3.0 Update

I am perfectly certain what this fix does and it certainly does not create a security risk. We also supply many WordPress plugins and hinestly the only poor practice here is the non-response from the developer. I appreciate ALL the moderatorsr and their efforts. As a provider responsible for 100s of domains, I have the following issue:

1. The developer should never have forced V3, that should have been a toggle
2. Because it went to V3, we actually had to generate new keys for every domain and adjust the configuration.
3. To revert back, we need to do step 2 all over again

During this entire process our clients are sufferring.

Tengo el mismo problema, al actualizar la versión del plugin Contact Form 7, no aparece el recuadro de recapcha y entra SPAM.

?Que debo hacer?
– Opción A – Restaurar a la versión 5.0
– Opción B – Aplicar el código “return true;”

Gràcias

@cdunjo, I’m thinking that the best approach is to roll back to version 5.0.5 because v3 does seem to take more resources and is slower than v2. Since it also gets you a lot of spam without the code hack, the rollback makes more sense.

Does anyone know where we can download the previous version?

Go to the plugin page on www.ads-software.com, look in the right sidebar for “Advanced View,” click on it, scroll to the bottom, and you’ll see a Previous Versions section where you can select version 5.0.5 from the drop-down and download it.

Make sure you don’t deactivate/delete the plugin or you’ll lose your contact forms. Just delete the old /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7 folder and upload the old version to the same location.

If you’ve already deleted your v2 keys on Google’s reCAPTCHA site, you may need to re-create and re-enter them on the Integration tab for CF 7.

I have returned to the previous version and it works fine.

Version 5.0.5

Thanks @linux4me2
