Version 5.3.2 and Google Recaptcha V3 – Spam response

Where can we see the website in question?

Hi Takayuki,

thank you for your reply.
The website and the form is located here: https://www.staedtewettbewerb.de/kontakt/

Heiko

all contact form requests on my site get a “spam” response from google recaptcha

Why do you think the spam response is from reCAPTCHA? How did you confirm that?

There is a connection.
If i deactivate reCAPTCHA – the form is sending the message correctly.

Response from CF7:
{“into”:”#wpcf7-f157-p67-o1″,”status”:”spam”,”message”:”Die Nachricht konnte nicht gesendet werden. Bitte versuchen Sie es noch einmal zu einem sp\u00e4teren Zeitpunkt oder informieren den Administrator der Webseite.”,”posted_data_hash”:””}

Maybe it depends on CF7 validation?

Also in use:
– Plugin Honeypot for CF7 (Test with deactivated plugin: form could not be send)
– Flamingo (Test with deactivated plugin: form could not be send)

WordPress Version: 5.5.3

FAQ > Why do I get an error message with an orange border?

What does the spam log actually say?

In my tests it says:

Spam-Protokoll: reCAPTCHA-Punktzahl (0.00) liegt unterhalb der Schwelle (0.50).

translation:
Spam protocol: reCAPTCHA score (0.00) is below the threshold (0.50).

There should be a box labeled “reCAPTCHA” in the left side (between Fields and Meta by default). What do you see in it?

I am sorry, this box is not available.
There are only two boxes: fields and meta.

Check the Screen Options.

I already did.

Maybe it is depending on flamingo version? We use 2.2

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

Theme:
– Theme X (https://theme.co/x)
– Child Theme – based on Theme X

Plugins:
– Adminimize
– Advanced Custom Fields Pro
– Classic Editor
– Contact Form 7
– Cornerstone
– Download Manager
– Flamingo
– GS Only PDF Preview
– Honeypot for Contact Form 7
– iThemes Security
– Photo Gallery
– Slider Revolution
– TotalPoll Pro
– User Role Editor
– WP Activity Log
– X – Google Analytics
– Yoast SEO

and two custom plugins (custom cornerstone elements and basic website functions)

I seems that I do have a similar problem: https://korfu-segeln.de/kontakt/

Somehow every user is managed as spam. More than 4 weeks ago I did get the last request from the contact form.

Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all plugins excluding Contact Form 7 and Flamingo.

Why you are advised to deactivate plugins and switch to the default theme.

Hello Takayuki,

i deactivated all plugins but CF7 and Flamingo and activated theme twentytwenty.
Unfortunately, that didn’t change anything.

Does Contact Form 7 perhaps use technologies which (if deactivated on the server side) lead to communication problems? Something like curl?
