Thanks @robertomamoru,
I have replaced the CF7 simple turnstile tag with the simpler version, as you suggested.
The placement of the [turnstile] tag is now just above the SUBMIT button both in the code for the form and in the visual view of the page.
Oddly though, I did not reinstall the SCT plugin… is there a chance the codes I received from Cloudflare are somehow cached on the site? How does the simple turnstile operate without the plugin being installed…. and to be sure, i tried first to just deactivate the plugin. When this didn’t give results, I deleted it entirely; the humanity check remains even after the plugin is deleted.
Very curious, but at least it looks good right now.

Okay… so some additional testing i’ve been doing.
1. modified the form to remove the explicit div & tag [cf7-simple-turnstile] just above the submit button’s div
`<div class=”cf7-pod”>
[cf7-simple-turnstile]
</div><div class=”cf7-pod”>
[submit “Submit”]
</div>`~~ the result was the same though, still showing two authentication boxes.
2. I deactivated the turnstile plugin
~~ the lower authentication from the form is no longer, but the upper authentication still shows.
~~ ~~ on Firefox, the check box cycles to a green check without doing anything.
~~ ~~ on Vivaldi browser (a chromium variant) the check box does not auto check
.. human interaction is still required.or additionally, when i inspect the page and focus just on the first verification below is what I am able to copy from the inspect tool … (the lower one, i confirmed is what is programmed in on the page using the short-code within the Contact Form 7 plugin interface…

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] CF7 not workingHey folks,
Very nice design to your form.. it looks great (and translated quickly to English using my browser plug in).
Here’s my guess: your email setup on your website is not configured correctly.
When in edit mode for a CF7 form, there are “tabs” at the upper part of the form which allow you to customize different aspects of the form.. the first tab is the form itself, the second tab is for the layout and formatting of the email notification, and the third is the listing of error messages. Go to this third tab and scroll through to find the error message that matches what you’re seeing.
Just on the theory that your email isn’t setup correctly, I am using the Swift SMTP plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-email-editor/ … formerly known as Welcome Email Editor). Now once setup, you might need to enable third-party email clients on your email service, and authorize the login etc with 2FA to get the emails flowing… then CF7 will just pickup the settings from there and the notification should send.
Let us know how it works for you.
Digitally yours from Brooklyn, NYPaul
oh… one more thing of importance.
Presented as a security feature, if you’re not paying for elevated service, there is no recording of the data filled out in a form except for the notification email. So if you accidentally delete or have the notification processed as spam, then the data will be lost for good… you don’t get it back.
I thought I read somewhere that you could pay a little extra to have the data sent as a notification AND copied to a spreadsheet or into a cloud-service file. Somebody please correct or update my quick reply if there’s something i missed.
As far as I can tell, being a new ContactForm7 user, there isn’t an option to restrict the sending of email once a form is filled out.
I could be mistaken, but on testing ContactForm7, everytime I fill out the form, i get a notification email. Here are two qualification: if you don’t have email setup correctly, no notification will be able to be sent… ergo, test the form before you make it live on your site. If the form is not filled out correctly (eg, too few characters for a phone number, or an email address missing the @ symbol).. then the form will flag the field and the form will not be submitted.
One last thing, ContactForm7 is not going to be the easiest if you don’t have familiarity with HTML and CSS coding.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] phone number optionsIncreasing the total number of characters to the phone number from 10 to 14 allows for a number of other variations of phone numbers:
- 347-321-6509
- (347) 321-6509
- 347.321.6509
Which I feel is just good enough. Unfortunately it leaves open the possibility of human input errors.
Yes mistakes might happen.The best phone number check would be a pattern check for the order of phone numbers:
-
+ Country Code, space, three numbers (1-9 only), any separater character, three more numbers (1-9 only), another separator character, and finally four more numbers(1-9 only).

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Formatting the email notificationAfter a few tests, including adding and removing break tags </br>, the emails seem to have adjusted and are now showing up correctly for me in the emails.
