@petitulysses Reading your comment, I just want to clarify that the replacement code @kzeni posted above is only a snippet of the plugin file; ie, if you were to copy his code and overwrite the plugin with it, you’ll be missing the majority of the plugin code, and it will not work.

Here’s a link to the complete plugin file text, incorporating @kzeni’s patch. You can copy this entire block of text over the one in your plugin file via the editor. I bumped the version up for clarity but this is obviously not official in any way.

I have confirmed this works on updated versions of CF7 and WP. Thanks @kzeni, this saved me a bunch of time spinning up my own solution!

The purpose is not to backup your blog, but to backup just the taxonomies.

A use case is running two sites with similar, but different and necessarily separate, content, and wanting to have all your hundreds of manually created categories moved from one into the other (or even better, combined/unified) without having to retype them by hand.

WP’s normal backup/export feature will preserve the relationships just fine. This is when you don’t actually want to move the post/page contents as well.

You need to remove whatever captcha shortcode is currently in the CF7 form interface and replace it with [slidercaptcha] instead.

To be clear, by default CF7’s ‘Really Simple CAPTCHA’ plugin will have you generate something like
[captchac captcha-946] [captchar captcha-946]
in the Contacts Tab > Form box. You’ll need to replace that line with simply
[slidercaptcha]
then set up the captcha in the Settings > Slider CAPTCHA interface. (Under the ‘Slider Options’ drop-down, select ‘Contact Form 7’)

You don’t need to use any php or modify the template files if you’ve already got CF7 integrated – you just need to tell CF7 which captcha to use. The plugin documentation isn’t very clear about this unless you know where to look.

This is no longer an issue on the current versions of WP (4.2.4), CF7 (4.2.2), and Slider Captcha (1.4.4). It appears the plugin disabled form submissions entirely until the validation occurs.

It would be nice if the plugin were set up to hook into CF7’s own validation error messages, ie so the submit button could be pressed, and if the slider hasn’t been unlocked, an AJAX error message triggered (the behavior that would occur if you try to submit the form without filling out one of the required* fields).

But as is, locking up the submit button press until the slider is unlocked, is a perfectly workable solution for my purposes.
