Recaptcha v3 and preventing Contact Form 7 from working

Hi Charlliets, you’re experiencing the same problem I have and I’ve posted a similar question. I’ve yet to see a solution. The problem is that it’s marking everything as spam because of a bug, so it does not send the email. I did create a workaround. If you know how to edit the php plugin code.In the plugin file submission.php insert the third line from the top of the fuction:

private function spam() {
    $spam = false;
    return $spam;

It’s not the ultimate solution, but it will get the form working again until the publisher offers a fix.

Regards,
Bill

Should I just put it at the bottom of submissions.php file?

No, it has to be in the function. Insert exactly in the place you see in the code snippet i provided.

Perfect! Thank you.

I’m glad it helped. I thought i was really clear to the author in my post. He replied to everyone but me. LOL. Oh well.

I’d also like to see a true update fix for this. Google ReCaptcha v3 is pretty much a standard on forms these days….

Remember folks. It’s free. If you like and use the product, I’m sure the author would be grateful for a donation.

I found my issue to be a problem with the recaptcha plugin that I had installed. This one worked for me. reCaptcha v2 for Contact Form 7

Worked great. Thank you.
