IQComputing

Hello,

Thank you for the heads up. This is normal behavior. We do not want to override the reCaptcha v3 settings until the user is ready to switch to reCaptcha v2 and have their keys set properly. This is for users moving from v3 to v2 and have their v3 keys set by default.

We can look at clarifying this point in our installation instructions for a future update. Thanks again and have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hello,

Instead of dequeueing the script we remove the action hook that runs the enqueue. Whenever the plugin is loaded it adds the action wpcf7_recaptcha_enqueue_scripts. Then whenever the theme is being setup we remove the hook and add our own hook iqfix_wpcf7_recaptcha_enqueue_scripts. You can see this in recaptcha-v2.php LN 22.

Whenever you installed the plugin, did you select in the setting to use reCaptcha v2 as the source?

One thing we can do is add a lower priority to our add action hook so, for whatever reason the Contact Form 7 hook can not be removed we can reserve the google-recaptcha handle before Contact Form 7 can use it. It would pretty much be an additional fail-safe. This is something we can push in our next update.

Hello,

Looking at the linked website, the enqueued api.js script appears to to be the wrong script. It seems like it’s trying to load reCaptcha version 3 which is incorrect ( we can tell because it appends ver=3.0 to the url ). Have you selected reCaptcha v2 in the plugin settings?

The plugin needs to be told to load reCaptcha Version 2 as seen in the screenshot above. Once that’s selected it should load a different reCaptcha script with the version 2 keys. Hopefully selecting the above setting solves your issue but if not please reply back to this thread and we can assist further. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hello,

Please walk-through the Installation Instructions. An important piece to note is that whenever you setup you Google ReCaptcha keys you need to also make sure that your domain is whitelisted. We’ve created an article to help with this:

How to Generate Google reCAPTCHA v2 Keys

Hopefully the above solves your issue but if you find that it does not or if you have any additional questions please reply back to this thread and we can assist you further. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hello,

Unfortunately, how often the verification pop-up box appears is out of our hands. This is controlled by the Google API and their algorithm decides if/when to show this verification box. I do not believe there is a setting to prevent the verification box from showing up entirely as if Google’s algorithm decides that your actions are suspicious or your site is receiving many bot hits it will show the verification box.

You can remove the reCaptcha box but this may open your forms to spam.

You may try a different plugin such as Honeypot for Contact Form 7 which tricks bots into checking a hidden input.

You may install a simplified captcha solution such as Really Simple Captcha made by the same plugin author as Contact Form 7. He does not recommend this though since it’s an easier captcha to bypass.

This kind of issue is unfortunately out of the scope of this plugin since it’s entirely controlled by Google. Hopefully you find the above explanation helpful or the alternatives as a solution. We’ll mark this thread as resolved for now but should you have any questions or comments feel free to reply below. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hello,

Thank you for your perseverance! We’ll go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. Should you have any other questions please open a new thread in the support forums here. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hello,

We do see that the link above detects that JavaScript is disabled. If this is the case you wouldn’t be able to click the images but you would want to click the checkbox next to ( or on top of ) the image. Additionally, it looks like the Theme is using some CSS to “float” the Contact Form 7 inputs but it doesn’t seem to “clear” the reCaptcha input which could cause issues. Floating elements takes them out of the normal flow of content and requires special care to ensure that other elements down the line of markup do not get overlaid with an invisible barrier ( which is currently the case ).

Additionally, we do see a JavaScript error not related to our plugin that may be interfering with the functionality. We do have a possible solution you could attempt.

Before continuing with the below we do suggest that you have a ready back up of your database and are familiar with how to restore to this backup. We are not responsible for any issues, errors, or problems that may arise while following the below suggested solution. For more information on backups you may read over the following WordPress Handbook link:

A possible solution for this would be to override what the theme is doing using an Internal Style. You’ll need to log into your website admin panel and browse to Appearance -> Customize. From here you’ll want to click the Additional CSS tab and paste the following CSS to the bottom of the textbox. Finally, click “Publish” to push this change live.

If there is CSS already in this “Additional CSS” box, don’t remove anything as there may be adverse effects. You’ll want to append the following line to the bottom:

.wpcf7-recaptcha {clear: both;}

It should look something like the linked image below:
