 * Hi,
 * I’m having the exact same error as you.
 * > PHP Notice: wpcf7_add_shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 
   > 4.6! Use wpcf7_add_form_tag instead. in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
   > contact-form-7/includes/functions.php on line 365
 * However, I don’t use the built-in capcha.
 * We have this problem since 5.0.1. We did a new form, changed the shorcode but
   the error still remains.
 * Could someone please help us?
 * Regards.
