Google ReCaptcha v3 & Contact Form 7 [invalid-input-response]

  • Hey,

    So I’m using wpcf7 and added reCAPTCHA v3 to it. The integration seems to be working flawlessly. The icon in the bottom-right is showing. However when submitting any form I’m getting the orange box with error. After installing Flamingo and further investigation I found out that the underlying error is this: { “success”: false, “error-codes”: [ “invalid-input-response” ] }. I can’t find anything regarding this issue other then the form data is somehow bad and this will cause the reCAPTCHA to fail.

    I’ve tried following:

    • Disable my custom theme and use wordpress default
    • Disable all plugins other then wpcf7
    • Created a new form with default values

    All of the above will result in the same issue as confirmed in Flamingo ‘Inbound Messages’ panel.

    Please advice as I’m out of ideas here :/

    What other plugins and theme do you use on the site?

    Hey,

    It’s a custom theme I created from scratch but I tried changing to wordpress default (twenty twenty-four) and it doens’t work. Disabling all other plugins (other then wpcf7) didn’t help either.

    We are also getting the same reCAPTCHA v3 error in Flamingo as of today when testing the Contact Form 7 form after making a bunch of WordPress, plugin, and theme updates to the site:

    { “success”: false, “error-codes”: [ “invalid-input-response” ] }

    What’s strange, though, is that the same form on a site that’s essentially the same (but using a different URL) worked just fine last week. The issue only appeared today. We also noticed the reCAPTCHA pop-up appeared several times on random pages on the site that do NOT have a CF7 form on them (which it’s not supposed to do) *before* we encountered the issues when testing the CF7 form.

    Any suggestions on how to resolve would be greatly appreciated. Wondering if deleting and recreating the reCAPTCHA v3 keys might help. Thanks!

    UPDATE/RESOLVED: In case this helps anyone else, we found the issue. The reCAPTCHA v3 site keys needed to be updated as they did not match the reCAPTCHA keys in the Google Account. This likely also explains why the reCAPTCHA challenge pop-up was appearing randomly on other pages. Hope that helps someone else!
