    There’s a problem with the CAPTCHA plugin (Really Simple CAPTCHA) used with Contact Form 7 that’s been going on for at least 6 months, and no fix has been provided yet.

    The error is as you describe – the image cannot be found sometimes. If you search through the CF7 support threads you’ll find it mentioned – or Google Contact Form 7 captcha image not found

    It’s been blamed on caching plugins – mainly w3TC – but I don’t see anything in your page source that suggests you’re using a caching plugin.

    WordFence however is working correctly.

    You visitor would have seen the page – but maybe not the CAPTCHA image – however if WordFence logged this, it’s likely it was because of too many attempts to load the missing image.

    greetings mikeotgaar

    Thanks! I had search but found nothing hence the post. However, I do have Quick cache the light version installed. An no you would not as you can hide it reporting at the end of the page. I did.

    So would you say this could be (or is) the problem? Any workaround you now of?

    Hi,

    I’m going to mark this resolved as it’s an issue in another plugin.

    Regards,

    Mark.
