 * It turns out the attack tried wp-login.php and xmlrpc.php. I put xmlrpc.php into
   my FilesMatch too, seems to work.

 * Confirm this. I already run PHP 7.3 on a few sites, no issues so far. Would be
   nice to have the checker to confirm.

 * Hello, I sent you a test message via your form. Seems to work. I cannot confirm
   the message is not received, on my form I get them. Still the annoying logo displayes
   on each page of the site.

 * But the CSS mentioned by [@peps23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peps23/)
   does not work for me. The badge still shows up.

 * [@eunoiastudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eunoiastudio/) the V3 captcha
   of CF7 5.1.1 does not work, that’s why you get all that spam. As long as [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/)
   does not provide reCaptcha V2 support again, you have these options:
    -downgrade
   to CF7 5.0.5 -follow this guide: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guide-how-to-fix-contact-form-7-recaptcha-bug/#post-11006816](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guide-how-to-fix-contact-form-7-recaptcha-bug/#post-11006816)
 * Both require reCaptcha V2 keys.
 * [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) can you give
   us a time schedule? There are hundreds, if not thousands of admins busy around
   the planet to fight this problem.

 * and please!! people, why don’t you read the countless messages about this mess
   in the forum? In the meantime my inbox is not flooded by spam, but by forum messages,
   all telling the same.

   and it works. Spam has stopped, and the form can be used so send emails. It also
   only shows the badge on the form, not on other pages.

 * 5.1 and 5.1.1 only support V3. 5.1 is broken. With V3 you don’t have a “not a
   robot” checkbox anymore.
    If you don’t like V3, downgrade CF7 to 5.0.5 or install
   another reCaptcha plugin that supports V2. “Better WordPress reCAPTCHA” or “Invisible
   reCaptcha” work fine.
