    Hi Erik, at the moment I am getting a lot of honeypot false positives. Like these

    Spam log: data_mismatch: Version mismatch ” != ‘0.6.2’; bot_fingerprint_extras: activity 0, mouseclick_activity, mousemove_activity, webgl, webgl_render; honeypot: name, zip, ship-address

    I am sure this email wasn’t spam. And so there are more.

    Any ideas?

    ciao @wendihihihi,
    Looks like the CF7-Antispam script isn’t enabled or isn’t working correctly… can you check the developer tools js console in order to check if there are some message related to that?

    Hi Erik. I got this message.

    index.js:1 wpcf7 is not defined.
    (anonymous) @ index.js:1

    It doesn’t go away after refreshing the cache. Any thoughts?

    Hi Erik, I came across this old code in a post you made two years ago:

    [file fileuploader filetypes:jpg id:uploader] <img id=”preview” src=”#” /> <script> var uploader = document.getElementById(‘uploader’); uploader.addEventListener(‘change’, (event) => { var binaryData = []; binaryData.push(document.getElementById(‘uploader’).files); if (binaryData) preview.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(binaryData[0][0]); }); </script>

    It’s about image upload preview before submission. Would it be possible to implement this inside a WPForm? I know you created something similar for Contact Form 7, but I’m interested in doing it with WPForm.

    Any help would be appreciated!”

    @wendihihihi, that is very strange since the wpcf7 window object should be always available (if you have cf7 plugin active and enabled obviously).

    Looks like something related to contact form 7 or even to WordPress… let’s make some tests:

    in the devTools console can you type?
    wpcf7.api.namespace
    the return value is: contact-form-7/v1 ?

    can you reach the wordpress rest api?
    https://mywebsite/wp-json/wp/v2/
    👆replace mywebsite with the website url which has the issue.

    disabling the plugin solve the issue?

    have you tried to google “WordPress: Contact Form 7 Fallback Json Problem” and see if that one is the reason?

    @lcastilloh – please if you need some kind of help please open a new issue in the related forum and cite me using the @ . this is not the place, and sincerely never used wpforms, I don’t have a good opinion of it but if I can help you I will gladly do so.

    Thanks for the suggestions, Erik, found the problem.

    In my functions.php I used

    //use contact form 7 scripts and styles only on the contact page
    add_filter( ‘wpcf7_load_js’, ‘__return_false’ );
    add_filter( ‘wpcf7_load_css’, ‘__return_false’ );

    I think after the last CF7 update, you cannot use it anymore.

    Looks like related to that, https://github.com/rocklobster-in/contact-form-7/issues/1417 or something similar…

    In the next version i should conditionally load the scripts so, since I will also check for the existence of window.wpcf in global object, I don’t think this problem will occur any more.

    in any case thanks for the report! 🚀
