I worked out what this is – you have made a change so this does not work with google recaptcha v3 – if i remove recaptcha the form can be submitted. I need to read why you did this and what is required if you advice please let me know. The summary of changes talked only about sendinblue no refence to a change to how the plugin intergrates or rather doesnt with recaptacha

I’m also having this issue, will disable recaptcha v3 to see if this fixes the problem.

I suggest you revert to the previous version. there’s some change or issue with 5.4 amd its integration. Hopefully there will be an update or details shared by @takayukister

Thanks @yhberman I managed to fix the issue on my site. Not sure why but the send button was originally wrapped like this <p>[submit "Send Mail"]</p> not sure why it was wrapped in p tags like this as it was done several years ago but anyway, after removing those p tags it is now working again – maybe someone with more tech knowledge will know why but it’s now fine.

@mattjenkins81 thanks but not sure that is the issue in my case. I am using a shortcode and haven’t defined the wrappers individually.

I’ve seen this article which states ‘Contact Form 7 (5.4+) is not supported when using the native reCaptcha solution’ I don’t use complianz but am beginning to assume it applies elsewhere https://complianz.io/why-the-wp-consent-api-is-important-a-case-study-with-cf7-and-recaptcha/

There is a link to a permanent fix with a contact 7 example to be merged to core potentially at some point in the article. Currently the options appear to be don’t upgrade, change to a different recaptcha or use wpforms instead.
I will read further and try and udnerstand if this is the same issue and what is best to do to address. Fortunately I tested on statging and spotted the issue so live site is fine.

I am using elementor and use the essential add-on but get the same effect if I use the shortcode.

Ah thanks for the information @yhberman very interesting and my issue reappeared so I’ve rolled back to a previous version of the plugin and all seems fine but I think longer term I’ll look at other plugin options.

@mattjenkins81 I have found threads talking about the latest version and google recaptacha in this forum. I hope the author fixes it soon.

Decided given there’s been little update to the plug in and lots of noise in teh forum to use an alternate plugin. As I use elementor pro I have switched to the elementor form and have moved away from the contact 7 plugin completely (for now). It means 2 less plugins (And so 2 less things to update and test) as I used the dynamic text extension too. Will be interested when and if this is fixed.
