How to Add Google reCAPTCHA v3 with Contact Form 7 (v5.1.1)

Adding Google's reCAPTCHA to Contact Form 7 is SUPPOSED TO help you reduce spam emails to your inbox.

---
Update: Dec 19, 2018:
In the latest version of Contact Form 7 (CF 7.5.1), you are required to use Google's reCAPTCHA v3,

After using it for less than a week, I've found that it allows spam to go through unlike before. Comments below and recent reviews in the WordPress Plugins Repository indicate that spam is not being blocked.

Luckily for me, spam was still being filtered by my host into my Spam folder, and the increase is significant.

In this video, I show you how to use Google's latest version of it's reCAPTCHA (v3) with Contact Form 7 (v7.5.1)

This new v3 reCaptcha eliminates the "I'm a Robot" checkbox. So, you won't see that anymore with v3.

Also you won't need to insert the [recaptcha] shortcode anymore in Contact Form 7. It actually doesn't exist anymore.

Once you input your new site key and secret key, your site is now protected (or supposed to be) for forms that use this new version.

If you upgrade CF7 to 7.5.1 or later, you need to regenerate your reCaptcha keys and use v3 otherwise your reCaptcha keys won't protect your site.

All you need to do to complete integration of reCAPTCHA v3 with your site using CF7 is to add your site key and secret key, which I show you in this video.

Thanks so much for the info. I installed it before coming here and couldn't figure out if I was supposed to do anything else after that. So, this helped a great deal, because I was trying to figure out if there should be a recaptcha box showing after installing v3. Your tutorial answered my question!

Thank you for the clear directions. I finally got my contact form corrected.

Thanks for your clip! First time, I think it does not work. But, it actually works, because the recaptcha "doesn't show up on the form anymore, .. so people don't have to check that off". It means that recaptcha doesnot show on, it works. Thanks again!

[yuliamoskvina]

please tell me) I do not really understand this phrase
:
"Paste this snippet into the JavaScript callback to add an action to the site." If it is enough to enter a key, why this sentence and where exactly should it be inserted into WordPress?

[kennyverheyden]

Does the recaptcha also check the other forms of wordpress as well like login, wp-admin login?

Thank you great vid. So how does version 3 work then, if you don't need to show you're not a robot?

I upgraded mine to v3 and now I get this "privacy term" popup box on the lower right hand corner on every single page. What's up with that and how can I get rid of it?
