Update: tried again today, after resetting both browsers’ caches and it’s not working for me in Safari OR Firefox today.
Gonna try rolling back one more version (to 5.1.1).
The only way I can get CF7 to not automatically flag things as spam, currently, is to REMOVE my reCAPTCHA v3 keys from the Integration section.
Note: the forms ARE being submitted, they’re just automatically flagged as spam and going into my Flamingo spam folder. I can manually set them to “not spam” and have them come through, but I’ve also got my email address added to the Flamingo address book, so it seems to me that should allow stuff from my email address to come through. Just don’t want legit forms to automatically flag as spam.
Anyway, I’ve reached back out to my web host for additional support. Maybe there is something else wrong on my end.

After contacting my Web host, they suggested using an SMTP plug-in, in addition to some changes to some of my email authentication settings in cPanel. Current status: I can get the form to work correctly using Firefox, but not Safari, on my MacBook Pro… after reverting back to 5.1.2. Haven’t re-applied the newest CF7 5.1.3 update to test in FF, yet, but might do that tomorrow.
I’m kinda suspecting the email authentication changes are having the biggest positive effect (and then perhaps the SMTP plug-in will be unnecessary…?), but don’t quote me on that. More testing to do tomorrow.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Can we still use reCaptcha v2?User @hyrule on the following forum page has posted a solution (involves copying/pasting in some custom CSS to hide that badge):

There are also a couple other variations to the code that others have posted, too. Perhaps one of them will work for you…?

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] error thrown, but no error in form, and no details on errorIs the error “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”? That is the default message for two different errors:
1. Sender’s message failed to send
2. Submission was referred to as spamI recommend changing one or the other to a different message (go into the Messages tab of CF7) to isolate which error is being thrown.
I have been having the same issue lately and am trying to work through it, both here on the forums and with my Web host. The latest recommendation from my Web host was to install an SMTP plugin and trying to have messages send as SMTP instead of WP Mail, in addition to some changes to my email authentication settings in cPanel.
It is (and has been, since I first started using it) displaying on every page.
For example, my home page:
Thank you!

Whoops! Nope, apparently it worked because I forgot to reapply my reCAPTCHA integration after downgrading. Reapplying my v3 site and secret keys caused it to malfunction again. Hmmm…
I also started having problems today uploading a tiny PNG file (23 KB). It would just get to 36% uploaded, then just sit there until it finally timed out with an HTTP error. Increasing the WP memory limit in wp-config didn’t help, but I found something about disabling automatic image optimizers. Since I optimize my images before upload (via tinypng.com), I toggled that off in SG Optimizer (Image Optimization -> set New Images Optimization to OFF) and my image uploaded no problem.
(I don’t have any other optimizers installed for this particular site.)
I noticed a similar issue yesterday and narrowed it down today to SG Optimizer 5.1.2, as well. I thought it was maybe the Avada 5.9 theme update, but I have another version of the test site that is using Avada 5.8.2 and was looking correct. I updated two plug-ins (Yoast and SG Optimizer) and the fonts got messed up before even updating the theme.
I’ve narrowed it down further to the Frontend Environment, specifically Minify CSS Files and Combine CSS Files. Toggling both of these to OFF fixed the font issue. (Perhaps it’s a conflict w/ the theme in that Avada has its own Performance tab in the theme options. One option that is toggled on by default is the CSS Compiling Method — File (on by default), Database or Disabled. Perhaps disabling here will allow enabling of the options in SG Optimizer. *shrug*)

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] reCaptcha v3 does not allow form submissions@davemelbourn OMG, thank you so much! When I saw your mention of the “JS Exclude” box, I knew I had to try this myself. I don’t use LightSpeed, but I do use Autoptimize, which also has a JS Exclude field. I entered /recaptcha/api.js into the field there and the forms on my clients’ websites now seem to be submitting properly w/o being auto-flagged as spam.
Agreed w/ finding out how much actual spam gets blocked, now, though.
