Enabling Captcha Breaks Contact Form 7

    Hi,

    I have updated everything to the latest version. I am able to use Contact Form 7 without any issues, but the moment I enable the captcha the forms stops working.

    I am able to see the captcha and everything except that the form:
    – refuses to validate fields
    – and does not any messages whenever you attempt to send a message.

    Here is my form code:

    <p>[text* your-name placeholder "Name"] </p>

<p>[email* your-email placeholder "Email Address"] </p>

<p>[textarea* your-message placeholder "Message"] </p>

<p>[captchac captcha-97 id:captcha-img size:m]<br/>

[captchar captcha-97 id:captcha-ans placeholder "Captcha"]</p>

<p class="submit-btn">[submit "Send"]</p>

    Has anyone ever encountered the same issue?

    I am running into this same issue. At this point I am guessing that its a Windows vs. Linux issue. I have 2 WordPress sites with the same plugins on both yet the one on the Windows server is giving me the same issue as you are having.

    I had to abandon ship. The site is also hosted on a Windows platform _ that could be the problem.

    I had to cook-up my own custom maths captcha. It is not really resolved – but I am marking it as resolved.

    The problem is that the [captcha] shortcode doesn’t support “id:”, which also causes my site to not validate anymore. As my captcha label with “for” attribute can’t be associated with the captcha input.
    I ended up deleting for label “for” attribute. But it’s not a good practice, as label “for” is needed for various reasons, like input auto-focus and above all accessibility. I will forward that issue to the plugin author.

    For now simply use [captcha] without “id:”

    I haven’t actually tested it with [captcha], as I am using [quiz], but the [quiz] shortcode starting working once I deleted “id:”. Looks like the the same issue, caused by “id:”

    Great, I ended up going the old school way and writing my own contact form and validation. Will try to replicate the problem and follow your recommendation/s.

    Will shout (come back to you) with feedback. Thanks!
