Hello Prashant,

Sorry for the delay but I’m quite busy during this week, the issue still not yet resolved so please do not mark it as resolved!

In regard to your suggestions, about:

1. Reaching out to the theme developer, to provide a code snippet to exclude their reCAPTCHA integration on pages where WPForms reCAPTCHA is getting loaded, this suggestion is not applicable due to the fact that the built-in reCaptcha of the theme works only with all the theme specific forms such as theme login/logout forms and some other theme specific forms as I have mentioned earlier, but not for other independent custom created pages such as the “Contact” page form. so technically, the built-in reCaptcha of the theme is not active on the “Contact” page form, so this suggestion is not applicable in this case.
2. In regard to your suggestion to consider using our hCaptcha integration instead of Google reCaptcha, I tried it and it did not work, the same problem happening so shifting from Google reCaptcha to hCaptcha does not resolve the problem!

For now, I have temporarily disabled WPforms plugin on my website as it cannot be used, and I shifted to another contact form plugin and it is working fine on my website with no issues, but I still hope that the developers of WPforms can resolve this issue with their plugin.

Thank you

Hello guys,

Thank you for participation in this thread,

I just found the reason for this, it was the REST API setting! if disabled the contact form 7 stop responding and stop sending messages!!

This start happening recently after contact form 7 update, I’m not sure exactly which update version of contact form 7 start generating this weird behaviour, but it was working previously just fine with the REST API disabled on my website.

I’m not using any external App. to connect with my website and I don’t really need to enable the REST API on my website that’s why I kept it disabled for additional security reasons.

I also don’t understand why contact form 7 developer made such change to force using REST API for sending messages from the website page?!

I hope the developer of contact form 7 to answer this question and resolve this issue ASAP.

Hello Prashant,

Thank you for your interest to reply,

I did what you told me to do and enable “No Conflict Mode” under WPForms > Settings > CAPTCHA.

The theme that I am using on my WP website has a built-in reCaptcha option enabled and works with all the theme specific forms such as theme login/logout forms and some other theme specific forms, but not for other independent custom created pages such as the contact page. The problem is if I enable the No Conflict Mode under WPForms > Settings > CAPTCHA , it will disable the theme built-in reCaptcha on all theme specific forms such as login/logout forms and some other theme specific forms!! so this option does not work for me!

I’ve been using WPforms on my website with my current theme for long time and it was working fine with no conflict and no error at all, only after updating WPforms recently this issue start to happen! I’m not exactly sure which WPforms version update start generating this error!

Also, I would like to mention here that upon checking the HTML connected with the generated error “this field is required” by inspecting the webpage, I saw that this error message is related to invisible reCaptcha !! but in my WPform reCaptcha setting I set the mode to reCaptcha V2 not to invisible reCaptcha so why the error message shows that this error related to invisible reCapcha?!!

If I disabled the reCaptcha for WPforms everything works fine and the contact form works OK but with no reCaptcha on it!

in regard to your request to share the URL of the page where the form is embedded, I cannot provide the URL here due to privacy reasons applied by my employer, and the fact that I temporarily disabled the reCaptcha option on WPforms for now until this issue resolved.

Hope you can find what change has been made with your updates that start causing this issue to happen!

Please resolve this issue.

Thank you,

Seems nobody from this WP Cerber plugin developer cares even to reply… what kind of a security plugin is this?!! I will delete it…

WordPress was right to block this plugin and remove it from WP repository

Hello.. anybody care to reply please?

Hello Kenneth,

Thanks for your care to reply,

The code you provided above solved the problem but how to show a text label under the Email field like other fields stating that “0 of 16 max characters.” ?

Please advise,
Thanks

Hello Takayuki Miyoshi,

Thank you for your care to reply,

That’s what I’m looking for actually, but one more thing please, the code you provided will block the custom spam words only in the message “textarea” field, but not for the other fileds of the contact form !

I mean when I used the code you provided, if a spammer used the spam word in the message “textarea” it will block sending the message but if the spammer used that spam word in other field such as “name”, “Email”, “subject”.. etc. the filter will not detect and the message will be sent !

Please provide the code that block specific spam words from being used in all fields of the contact form.

also, how to set an array of many words (not only one word) for the custom spam filter to check and block?

Thank you,

Hello Takayuki Miyoshi,

I know about the “Disallowed list” but with this method it will match inside words, so if I put the word “press” it will match also “WordPress” and will block sending the message.

with php code snippet form field filter, it will match only the word I block means if I chose to block the word “press” it will not block the word “WordPress”.

can you help on providing a php code snippet which can specify the words that I want to block using form field filer?

thank you,

Hello WFAdam,

Thank you again for your interest to reply,

Actually the website I’m developing is not a forum website and the form for uploading pictures is a custom form of the theme itself, however there are few custom mandatory plugins associated with the theme which must be used in order to complete the functionality of the theme and site.

I have done further investigation on the cause of this issue and found that it is caused by one of the WF WAF rules named under: “file_upload Malicious File Upload (PHP)” this is the rule that is causing the upload of pictures from website FrontEnd to return “Error #-200: HTTP Error.”

After I disabled it the issue is resolved and now all users can upload pictures from website FrontEnd with no issue.

I’m not sure why this WAF rule is causing this upload error even though the uploaded files are .jpg pictures not php files !! and why WF is not not logging this activity on the Live Traffic section, however the issue is now resolved with having the above said rule disabled.

Thank you,

Hello WFAdam,

Thank you for your interest to reply,

Actually there is no 403 blocks in Live Traffic page , only 302 and 200 responses !

Please help resolve this issue.

Thank you,

Hello Maya (@tdgu),

Thank you for your reply,

After checking again your plugin “WP hide and security” , I have contacted my hosting provider, and now I know the reason that caused this issue with your plugin.

the new update you’ve added to your plugin is actually implementing .php code execution in the WP-Content directory in WP, which is unusual and is not permitted for security reasons!!

I don’t know why did you add this to your plugin and why your plugin actually needs to execute any .php codes in WP-Content directory.!!

Please remove this addition from your plugin as it is not needed and issue new update for users to continue using your plugin otherwise I’m afraid many people will lose their trust in your plugin and remove it from their sites.

hope you will fix this issue ASAP.

Regards.
Thanks

More than 3 weeks passed and no response from developers for the issue reported!!

I think the developers of this “WP hide and security” Plugin do not care about their plugin anymore.. I think better to remove it as it is useless..

Hi tdgu,

after updating your plugin “WP hide and security” to the latest version I start getting critical error message from your plugin as follows:
———-
Unable to write/update required rewrite rules to your site .htaccess. Is this file writable? Until fixed, no changes are applied on the front side.
Try to go at Settings > Permalinks and save once, the core will attempt to update the required rewrites. If the problem persists, check with your host support on the correct file write permission.
———-
Also I get this notification in your plugin page:
———-
Rewrite test failed! The wp_remote_get() returns a 403 error code:Forbidden
A custom rewrite line has been inserted into your rewrite file for testing, the Test URL expected to return a JSON response (contains a name and description) The server instead replied a 403 error with the message Forbidden
You need to get in touch with your server support for a fix, the rewrite engine is either disabled for your account or their internal set-up does not allow such rewrites.
Critical issues were identified on your site, please fix them before proceeding with customizations.
———-

my htaccess file is writable and your older version of the plugin was working properly so what happened now?!

why is this issue

Pls. help
Thanks
