Contact Form 7 5.1.4

Contact Form 7 5.1.4 is now available. This is a maintenance release that includes some bug-fixes and improvements.


Alternative Way to Set reCAPTCHA API Keys

To use reCAPTCHA, you need to set reCAPTCHA v3 API keys (the site key and secret key) on the Integration screen.

Contact Form 7 5.1.4 introduces an alternative way to set those keys, and it would be useful to share the same API key pair among different domains.

You can set the keys using the WPCF7_RECAPTCHA_SITEKEY and WPCF7_RECAPTCHA_SECRET constants like the following:

define( 'WPCF7_RECAPTCHA_SITEKEY', '(site key here)' );

define( 'WPCF7_RECAPTCHA_SECRET', '(secret key here)' );

You can also do the same thing using the wpcf7_recaptcha_sitekey and wpcf7_recaptcha_secret filter hooks:

add_filter( 'wpcf7_recaptcha_sitekey', function( $sitekey ) {
	return '(site key here)';
} );

add_filter( 'wpcf7_recaptcha_secret', function( $secret ) {
	return '(secret key here)';
} );

Needless to say, you will still need to register the sites correctly on Google’s reCAPTCHA configuration page. Otherwise reCAPTCHA won’t work on your sites. For details about reCAPTCHA setup, see reCAPTCHA (v3).

Requires: WordPress 4.9 or higher
