# Version 5.4 Update Bug

 * I tested the new 5.4 version on the Dev site and now on the contact page under
   the “send message” button, a blue box appears. It looks as if something is highlighted
   but there are no words or captions within the box.
 * My thoughts are this has to do with the Recaptcha being hidden; however, nowhere
   else does this box appear. Prior to updating to the latest version, I had no 
   issues using the following code to hide Recaptcha: .grecaptcha-badge { visibility:
   hidden; }
 * I have linked to the Development site contact page where this can be seen.
 * Does anyone have any ideas?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fversion-5-4-update-bug%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * CF7 provides this styling for inactive error message:
 *     ```
       .wpcf7 form.init .wpcf7-response-output, .wpcf7 form.resetting .wpcf7-response-output, .wpcf7 form.submitting .wpcf7-response-output {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * For whatever reason it’s not being loaded in your case. Culd be some theme/plugin
   related conflict.
 * Also your contact form is not working, same as mine if I enable JS related caching.
 * So, yea looks like 5.4 brought some bugs.

 * Thanks for the information. I will wait for CF7 to fix these issues before updating
   our live site.

 * I had this blue line problem on my site too.
 * Clearing all the caches and the files from my CDN solved this one problem for
   me. (Still a few others to solve from this .4 version)

 * Thank you very much and clearing the cache/files did solve the blue box issues.
 * Unfortunately, the message no longer sends when the send message button is pushed.
   Was this. one of the issues you dealt with on your end?

 * Well mate, for now, the simple solution is to disable any JS files caching / 
   aggregating / deterring you may have active in your WP-Rocket plugin.
 * You can also try to only exclude `wp-includes/js` from any caching / aggregating/
   deterring.
 * That works for me.
 * Hopefully CF7 guys will rework their plugin to need for such “fixes”…
