 * Hi there, I’m getting the error message “There was an error trying to send your
   message. Please be sure to check the “I’m not a Robot” box and wait for a green
   check mark before trying again” even though the form is using recaptcha V3 and
   there’s no box to check. Here is what I’ve tried so far:
 * – Performed all updates on the site and tested form
    – Removed recaptcha and 
   tested, message still showed – Installed Flamingo. Tested form, messages are 
   showing as not spam – Removed all email addresses in the backend that receive
   a notification email except mine and tested form
 * I just want to note that this isn’t a new form and that it’s been working for
   a few years now.
 * If anyone has any suggestions for me to try, that would be great!
 * Thanks so much.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-when-submitting-form-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

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