• I have 2 problems with the form:
    1.
    The recaptcha tick box is not tickable. But a message can still be sent and arrives in my email inbox. I would have thought an unticked box means you can’t send the message?
    If I use a spam word like ‘viagra’ in the subject or name box it doesn’t arrive in my email inbox. So Akismet works 🙂

    2.
    After submission no message is displayed to tell the sender that the message was sent successfully even though in the Contact Form 7 settings all message fields are filled out. How do I activate that it shows a message for the sender?

    >> I wonder if I need recaptcha or if Akismet will protect me from spam and I should just remove recaptcha?

    This is my form code:

    <script src=’https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js’></script>
    <div id=”content_container”>
    <p class=”col-md-4″><label> Your Name (required)</label>
    [text* your-name akismet:author]</p>
    <p class=”col-md-4″><label> Your Email (required)</label>
    [email* your-email akismet:author_email]</p>
    <p class=”col-md-4″><label> Subject</label>
    [text your-subject]</p>
    <p class=”col-md-12″><label> Your Message</label>
    [textarea your-message]</p>
    <div class=”g-recaptcha” data-sitekey=”6LeH_osUAAxxxxxxxxx;/div>
    <p class=”col-md-12″>[submit “Send”]</p>
    </div></div>

    I would appreciate to get help, thanks!

    The recaptcha tick box is not tickable.

    This is a theme stylesheet issue. Try switching theme to the default Twenty Seventeen.

    But a message can still be sent and arrives in my email inbox.

    This is because you don’t use Contact Form 7’s reCAPTCHA module. The reCAPTCHA you are using has no effect to the contact form.

    After submission no message is displayed to tell the sender that the message was sent successfully

    </div></div>

    The last </div> is unnecessary here. Just remove it.

    How does it help me to switch to another theme?

    I have now set up Contact Form 7’s reCAPTCHA module. Akismet is now giving me an orange border no matter what I put in the form fields or what email address I put in the email field.

    In the Google console I get this error ‘We detected that your site is not verifying reCAPTCHA solutions. This is required for the proper use of reCAPTCHA on your site. Please see our developer site for more information.’

    I’m not a developer but webdesigner and I have no idea how to solve what they suggest on the developer site 🙁
