Your best option for now is to go back to the previous version until this is fixed in another update, it worked fine for me.

How do I go back to an older version

Scroll all the way down and select version 4.8 and download it.

Backup your site’s files and database.

Unpack the plugin archive and overwrite it in ../wp-content/plugins using (S)FTP or your webhosts Web FTP client.

Mind this is only a temporary fix, it’s not usually recommended not to update plugins so make sure to follow up on this in the next days.

The WP Rollback plugin makes this much easier although it doesn’t do so well if there are database updates:

It’s worked for me going from 4.8.1 to 4.8.0 just fine, though.

We finally got most of our sites working by disabling both the “Contact Form 7” plugin and the “Really Simple CAPTCHA” plugin and then clearing the cache. The clearing of the cache was very important. On a few sites we had to revert back to an older version of Contact Form 7. I hope this helps someone.
