 * Hello! Recently my contact form 7 is showing an error message (“An error occurred
   while trying to submit your message. Please try again later.”) when trying to
   submit. Anything was changed on my website. The plugin **Contact Form CFDB7**
   still saves all the forms, but the user has a negative/error message.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-message-when-submiting-form%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact
   Form 7, and clearing all cache data.

 * **probably they are the recaptcha keys PROBLEM.**
   I don’t know why but the keys
   I recorded seem to have disappeared or changed.. then they all look the same 
   so I have trouble understanding which ones I had put.
 * The fact is that if you go back to the Recapta site
   [https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin)
 * re-fish your project
   re-fish your keys via the “gear” icon of your projectand
   check that the sites, the domains of your sites have not disappeared from the
   list.Go to the ContactForm 7 plugin, delete the keys, put them back.
 * And now everything should work again!
 * _I did this, and the problem appeared on my 3 primary sites_
