  • Similar issue on my multisite instance.

    50+ sites down, all responding with 410 code “Tämä sivusto ei ole enää saatavilla.” / “This site is no longer available.” and /wp-admin/ unreachable. I had to run wp plugin deactivate wp-security-audit-log --network from a command line to get things back up.

    😬

    Hi @wfpeter, thanks for your reply 🙂

    I’ve turned off the “Malicious File Upload (PHP)” firewall rule, and that seems to have resolved my issue. The test submission that was previously failing, is now going though a-ok. Thank you very much for your advice, clear guidance and extra info on what the rule does.

    I got a bit lucky in that my situation is the reverse of yours, problems on staging server, works on production. The production server is a basic shared hosting package that has its own firewall rules that I don’t have access to, but whatever they are it seems to work. (I guess they may just allow all outbound connections :S )

    On staging I had already allowed
    google.com
    but that doesn’t seem to be enough. Then I added
    api-verify.recaptcha.net
    and now it does work.

    Perhaps that’ll work for you too 🙂

    Firewall comes into play as it’s not exclusively a client-side operation. There has to be a call to google server-side with the Secret Key to verify the request. See:
    wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/modules/recaptcha.php

    I had the same issue, and it turned out to be an outgoing connection firewall issue. When I allow all outgoing connections from the server, the reCAPTCHA works and the form submits.

    When I have restrictions on outgoing connections, the reCAPTCHA still gets a green tick, but the form fails to validate and send, producing the “Submission was referred to as spam” message.

    Apparently that green tick in the reCAPTCHA is a poor indication of whether things are working right!

    This link may be of use regarding reCAPTCHA and firewalls: https://code.google.com/archive/p/recaptcha/wikis/FirewallsAndRecaptcha.wiki

    On a related note I also get:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'secret' of null at a.wp.receiveEmbedMessage (wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.9.8:1)

    In the console when using reCAPTCHA on Contact Form 7, but I think that’s related to https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/44832 and it still seems to submit for me (at least on the latest Chrome, Windows 10).

    Hopefully WordPress v4.9.9 will correct that console error 🙂
