 * Yep, a bunch of my sites have gone down as well.
   Currently, I’m unzipping the
   previous version stable installer to get back up and running again.Not good.🙁

 * Is the next update planned urgently. I’m considering my options to remove and
   replace the plugin in several sites as I can’t have them running with known vulnerabilities,
   but that is a time-consuming process, so I’m hoping the ‘Update Available’ notice
   appears in my sites admin very soon?
   Cheers

 * Further issues picked up today. We have a clients cf7 notification email passing
   through lists of products as part of a quote enquiry system. When the enquiry
   is sent, it captures the contents of the users cart and passes the product list
   through along with the enquiry notification. We accidentally updated this clients
   CF7 form to 5.4 yesterday and I arrived to an email this morning saying the workflow
   was broken and the form is not listing the products from the cart. I logged into
   the admin and noticed 5.4 running, so I rolled back to the previous version, 
   and what do you know…. all is working fine again.
    It seems that CF7 5.4 is broken
   on so many levels, it might be easier to start back at the previous version and
   forget 5.4 all together. Really becoming a major issue now and with no constructive
   reply from the developer, we’re just flapping in the wind waiting for a resolution
   with no real end in site?

 * Hi [@joshbedford](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshbedford/),
    Yep, don’t
   like running a potentially insecure version on nearly 100 client sites, but the
   only other alternative is to consider changing every web-form over to WP Forms
   or Gravity Forms, but that is just a daunting thought and not practical. I had
   hoped to have this acknowledged by the developer by now. Over a month of responses
   suggesting changing themes and deactivating plugins is not good at all, and clearly
   the issue is too wide-spread and varied to be the fault of every other plugin
   developer on the planet right? Fingers crossed I wake up tomorrow and see the
   changelog for the new version addressing the issues everyone has flagged for 
   over a month now. Fingers crossed!

 * Yep, But I have a strategy to maintain latest versions of plugins where possible
   for any number of reasons from security to stability etc etc. If a new version
   is available, it assumably comes with refinements and improvements. It’s frustrating
   to not be able to upgrade with stability. I run ManageWP and Wordfence Central
   monitoring and am constantly dealing with a large number of plugin updates required
   and would like to clear that up pronto. This spinner issue with CF7 has been 
   prevalent since launch of the latest version over a month ago. I’m yet to see
   an update to the plugin to resolve it, and continuously read responses to “advise
   of other plugins in the site”.
    It is clearing an issue, most likely related 
   to caching and needs a resolution… urgently.

 * Could you please advise of the solution to this issue. It is something I’ve flagged
   previously myself. Using the previous version of CF7, absolutely no issues at
   all. After upgrading to version 5.4, I get the spinner issue and form doesn’t
   submit. If I clear cache it works for a little while and then fails again. Happens
   on over 80 sites of varying plugins and setups… all custom themes and some purchased
   themes. If I revert back to previous version of CF7 without making a single other
   change… all sites work fine again.
    Like you, I desperately need to know the 
   solution so that I can update the CF7 plugin without issues going forwards?

 * Hi,
    Yep, we disabled that setting and the issue resolved immediately and site
   performance is back to normal. I wonder if this setting is required or if it 
   will effect the quality of the spam protection? We’ll have to monitor this. I
   think it would be great if the call only occurred once regardless of number of
   forms on the page. Thanks

 * Thanks.
    I note there is an option for: “Use AJAX for JavaScript check”
 * I believe this is the action causing our issues, but it says turning it off can
   cause issues with caching plugins. It would be great to know if this is a possible
   solution or of it must be kept active set to ‘Yes’?

 * Many thanks.
    Yep, as soon as possible would be appreciated. The link I sent 
   is a development copy of a live site that we have had to disable the anti-spam.
   Our client is already concerned about the level of spam they are getting, so 
   I’m keep to action a resolution so that I can protect the site again soon.
 * Kind regards
