  • The plugin now uses recaptcha V3. Please read this from the developer: https://contactform7.com/recaptcha/

    However, there is a bug that allows ALL SPAM to pass through. You can either wait for the developer to address this (no word from him in 3 days or so), or you can do this fix:

    change line ~112 of wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/modules/recaptcha.php
    from: return $spam;
    to: return true;

    Please note that if you do this, the next udpate will overwrite it. Which probably should be fine.

    You can also revert to an older version or locate a plugin that allows you to toggle between V2 and V3.

    Note for moderator: My intent is not to take over the plugin authors sub-topic. I am just trying to help others. Please let me know if this is unacceptable or if I can keep responding.

    Thanks in advance,

    However, there is a bug that allows ALL SPAM to pass through.

    That’s not strictly correct – some (which may be a lot) but not all.

    The hack/fix is also now being reported for false negatives i.e. rejecting form submissions that are not spam.

    The issue is explained & discussed in detail at ReCaptcha V3 — if g-recaptcha-response is empty, submission never be verified.

    I totally agree with that post. Visitors who have Javascript disabled will be unable to submit the form. Those will typically by vistors running an ad blocker that blocks recapthca. They will get a message that the form submission failed. It is not very graceful, but certainly better than tons of SPAM. For nearly all of our clients that is completely acceptable.

    We all know that most spambots will not bother parsing and executing JavaScript. Those are the ones responsible for defeating the most recent CF7 version.

    Will all due respect @takayukister, this recent change has allowed tens of millions of SPAM emails to go through. The CF7 plugin is an exceptional piece of work. We all appreciate your enormous efforts maintaining it.

    We hope that you will consider a comprimise position that will allow us to block SPAM at the same levels as before. We should have the choice to block anyone who does not have Javascript enabled along with an appropriate error message.

    I realize there are other suggestions out there regarding an option for the supression of the sticky image. I leave such decisions up to you.

    Once again @takayukister, thanks for all your efforts for this exceptional plugin.

    @locascioa, i respectfully ask that you stick to one topic and not spray responses across multiple topics OF WHICH YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINATOR in this plugin’s forum.

    @sterndata Steven, I was simply responding to a direct inquiry from another member on a the only topic I have been involved in (the reCaptcha issue). I am trying to be helpful and hope you find my responses relevant and respectful. I am specifically addressing the V3 implementation and the SPAM impact and no other part of this recent update.

    Aside from my own firm’s development team, I support and represent four other WordPress dev teams. This is an important issue for all us.

    However, I hear your concerns and agree my behavior yesterday was outside the forum guidelines. Hence I have limited my efforts today (also because we are dealing with loads of annoyed clients).

    My Recaptcha tab is missing. I’ve got the API keys for V3 but the tab refuses to appear in the contact form 7 field where I can click and insert. Can someone please guide me as to what I should do? Thank You.

    I’ll be archiving your post and mine to not spam the original poster and detract from their question.
