    Yes, WPCF7_Shortcode is deprecated. See https://contactform7.com/2016/12/03/contact-form-7-46/

    The captcha module is still using WPCF7_Shortcode.

    Hey, everyone.

    I fixed this error by changing 2 lines in the plugin. Just in case, the plugin file is located in \wp-content\plugins\contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension\contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension.php.

    Changed line 39 from
    wpcf7_add_shortcode(
    to
    wpcf7_add_form_tag(

    Changed line 44 from
    $tag = new WPCF7_Shortcode( $tag );
    to
    $tag = new WPCF7_FormTag( $tag );

    I hope this is gonna be fixed in the next update…

    Oops, that post was meant for Contact Form 7 Dynamic Text Extension thread, sorry. Shouldn’t type in a hurry…

    I think in most (if not all) cases a search and replace for wpcf7_add_shortcode and WPCF7_Shortcode should fix the error. Sublime Text does this job very fast. Make sure to notify the plugin creators about the needed changes though.
