Contact Form 7 5.4.1

Contact Form 7 5.4.1 is now available. This is a maintenance release that includes several improvements and bug fixes.

Since the release of Contact Form 7 5.4 last February, a lot of problems have been reported and most of them have turned out to be caused by interference from other plugins or the theme used on the site.

Although fundamental solutions can be provided only by developers of the third-party plugins and themes, by updating to 5.4.1 you will be able to mitigate the problems.

Requires: WordPress 5.5 or higher
Tested up to: WordPress 5.7.1
