 * Hi!
 * I use the latest WordPress and Contact Form 7 version.
 * I use following contact form:
 *     ```
       <p class="inputcf7">
       <label>Vorname</label><span class="use-floating-validation-tip">[text* demo-firstname]</span>
       </p>
       <p class="inputcf7">
       <label>Nachname</label><span class="use-floating-validation-tip">[text* demo-lastname]</span>
       </p>
       <p class="inputcf7">
       <label>E-Mail-Adresse</label><span class="use-floating-validation-tip">[email* demo-email]</span>
       </p>
       <p class="inputcf7">
       <label>Firma</label><span class="use-floating-validation-tip">[text* demo-company]</span>
       </p>
       <p class="cbcf7"><span class="use-floating-validation-tip">[checkbox* termsandconditions id:termsandconditions ""]</span> Hiermit erkläre ich mich mit den <a href="termsandconditions" target="_blank">Nutzungsbedingungen</a> einverstanden.</p>
       <p>
       [recaptcha theme:dark]
       </p>
       <p><br></p>
       <p class="submitcf7">[submit "Demozugang anfordern"]</p>
       ```
   
 * As soon as I place `[recaptcha theme:dark]` inside, the contact form cannot be
   submitted anymore. It shows the standard error “There was an error trying to 
   send your message. Please try again later.”.
 * You can find the contact form over here:

 * Any ideas?
 * BR

 * This does not help.
 * There is no issue with the mail server. The form is successfully submitted whenever
   I remove the reCAPTCHA from the form code. So it **definitely **has to do something
   with the reCAPTCHA.
 * I’ve now created a second form below the one that is not working. I just removed
   the reCAPTCHA there and it works fine.
