I believe the new 5.2.0 solves the problem I highlighted (?)

I added a comment to my Review and left a couple of questions about 5.2.0 – if they could be answered/confirmed I will rewrite my review, improve star rating and happily mark this topic as resolved.

With thanks

OK – Just so I am clear on this, the new version 5.2.0 with “Responsify all post images by adding srcset and sizes through a display filter” means I can get rid of all existing srcset code?

Does this also mean now, that deactivating the plugin will have no impact on layout for images inserted after 5.2.0? (as mentioned above I can remove existing srcset code?)

So I now see clean simple insert code on my Text display when editing – no added srcset code – the filter now applies the srcset code. Inspect element/View source will indicate it is there due to the display filter. (?)

If all the above is true, I am very close to changing/improving my Review and Star rating.

Just one more issue sorted would make this plugin perfect (for the time).

I have noted 5.2.0 has not added display filter srcset code to my 150×150 thumbnails (YES!!!) – yet my medium size display of an image at 300px gets the treatment. So I have chosen to display a medium size image – I still see adding in the source, via filter, of srcset code for sizes all above the actual dimensions I chose to have (when selecting Medium at Add Media) – to my mind this is still delivering a lot of completely unnecessary code down to the browser.

src="https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image-300x179.jpg" width="300" height="179" data-sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" srcset="https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image-300x179.jpg 300w, https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image-1024x612.jpg 1024w, https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image-540x320.jpg 540w, https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image-1100x657.jpg 1100w, https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image-800x478.jpg 800w, https://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/my-image.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px"

I have my thumbnails linking to wp-jquery-lightbox – I also note the display filter does not cover the full size images displayed within the wp-jquery-lightbox. I don’t really see this is an issue, though, as I have clearly offered the viewer a choice to see the full size image and not pushed it on them.

…but I am getting close to changing my review

Then do a manual replacement of the plugin via ftp
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation

Deactivate your existing one first, with all your years of php programming and web admin this should only take you a few minutes – the time your existing working forms will be off line should be no more than the time to ftp up the files.

rename the existing plugin folder so you can go back to it if you wish
wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7 to contact-form-7old etc
Create new contact-form-7 folder and upload your plugin to it. Actiave plugin.

By your very own comments here this sounds like an issue with your WordPress installation. Try the short code for a new form at the bottom of your working form pages – throw in “Below is a test – please ignore”

For the future – check out a plugin called Duplicator
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/
Makes it a snap to transfer a copy of your site to a testing localhost environment using XXAMP
Test your updates before performing them on your live site.

I suggest you do this anyway – if the problem does not exist on your testing server then it could be the hosting environment for your live site – perhaps an incompatible older version of php. If the problem does exist on your local copy then under Dashboard/Updates click re-install of WordPress 4.3.1 – see if the problem goes away – if it does then do a re-install on your live site.

Try not to get so grumpy

redladyb, best send your complaint to Google. CF7 has integrated the most popular and effective Captcha currently available – and it comes from Google. It actually does directly come from Google via an iframe.

Available options for recaptcha
https://contactform7.com/recaptcha/

Including a compact layout if you believe the 300px wide iframe is not suited to you.
eg
[recaptcha size:compact]

I’m sure you could switch between the compact and normal layout with CSS based on browser width.

The reCaptcha is an iframe pulled from Google and won’t have p tag styling

do you have a <p></p> around the reCaptcha?

by default it just adds
[recaptcha]

Works just fine.
