After adding recaptcha to CF7 form it failed sending messages.

Yeah, me too. recaptcha was working fine until I updated to WP 4.4.1

Anyone know any fixes?

@buzztone thanks for reply, but all of these didn’t workout, as everything works fine until adding a recaptcha.

I’ve spent hours troubleshooting four different contact forms. They all work fine until I add the reCaptcha. I can create a new default form and it works fine. But then I add a reCaptcha and it stops working.

Are you using the new integrated Google ReCAPCTHA or some other ReCAPCTHA ?

I am running into the same issue. If I remove the integrated Google ReCAPTCHA the form works. Put it back in and I get the Orange Box failure. I’ve tried recreating the API Keys and resetting them, but that didn’t work.

I am running WP 4.4.0 and CF7 4.3.1. You can see the form here: https://alisoncornfordmatheson.com/contact

@buzztone, Yes, the integrated reCaptcha. I also tried recreating the keys to no avail.

Do you have any other ReCAPCTHA activated on your site?

Hi Buzztone – nope. this is the only one.

Try installing Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log (includes excellent email debugging) to see what errors you get.

You only need to install Postman SMTP temporarily. You can switch back your current method afterwards if you want.

Hey guys, its very interesting to note that my failure message was not in any box.

@petrosyan.hov – can you share a link so we can examine this with Firebug.

Sure. Here it is

I have installed Postman SMTP. My first email test — without using reCaptcha — was successful. The email was logged. After implementing reCaptcha I get the same generic orange “Failed to send your message” error and nothing is recored by Postman. I don’t know how to troubleshoot since it seems like Postman is not even being invoked by the form with the reCaptcha enabled.
