 * Hi there,
 * in the opposite of the last time where no validation is possible, this time it
   always validates.
 * I again looked at the code on lines from last time (class-cf7-grid-layout-public.
   php, 1139-1149)
 *     ```
               default:
                 /** @since 2.11.0 recaptcha fix constributed by @netzgestaltung */
                 if ( $type !== 'captchar' ) { // really simple captcha gets called twice otherwise - and does not validate
                   if(!isset($data[$tag['name']])) continue 2; /*likely toggled and unused*/
                   $result= apply_filters( "wpcf7_validate_{$type}", $result, $tag );
                   /** @since 3.1.3 */
                   $validation[$tag['name']] = $this->strip_cf7_validation($result, $tag['name']);
                   $validated[$tag['name']] = $tag;
                   $submission[$tag['name']] = $this->get_submitted_data($tag['name'], $type, $data[$tag['name']]);
       	        }
                 break;
       ```
   
 * There are 3 New lines (@since 3.1.3).
 * this time i didnt figured out a solution, i made it only to not validate at all
   or validate always. So your help would be apprechiate.

 * I see, i was missing some necessary data:
 * * Contact Form 7 5.2
    * Really Simple CAPTCHA 2.0.2 * CF7 Smart Grid Design Extension
   3.3.2
 * When i deactivate CF7 Smart Grid Design Extension the Capchta starts working (
   but the Metaboxes for Polylang are gone).
 * I established a languages workaround in the templates that call forms so for 
   now the frontend works without CF7 Smart Grid Design Extension

 * Good eve,
 * finally got to the bottom of this.
 * There is a [small bug in the CF7 plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-really-simple-captch-tag-not-visible-in-admin/),
   but its not the reason why it fails to validated correctly.
 * The error was due to a different approach to complete validation process introduced
   in v3.1.3.
 * I have now fixed this issue and made a [release candidate 3.3.3 on the Github repo](https://github.com/aurovrata/cf7-grid-layout/releases/tag/v3.3.3rc1).
 * Can you please manually upgrade and test that it works on your server?
 * I am currently working on v4.0 of the plugin on my server, and I can’t test v3.3.3
   without a lot of extra setup.
 * if it works for you, I will deploy on the WP repo.

 * I will check it until monday.
 * Thanks for your effort!
 * For the CF7 “Bug” – I as far as i know this is not a bug.
 * They moved out default support for RSC in some Version and instead left the option
   to add it as Config, as documented here [https://contactform7.com/2015/09/17/contact-form-7-43/](https://contactform7.com/2015/09/17/contact-form-7-43/)
   and here [https://contactform7.com/captcha/](https://contactform7.com/captcha/)

 * [@netzgestaltung](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netzgestaltung/) I jsut
   realised this mronign that I forgot to add 1 crucial line of code in the GitHub
   release, so here is the [corrected version 3.3.3rc2](https://github.com/aurovrata/cf7-grid-layout/releases/tag/v3.3.3rc2),
   please test this one instead

 * the first verion does not exists anymore, I deleted it. You need to use the [rc2](https://github.com/aurovrata/cf7-grid-layout/releases/tag/v3.3.3rc2)
   version I subsequently sent you. Works fine for me
