I have multiple forms based on CF7 on my site and default reCAPTCHAv3 implementation sometimes blocked the submission for no apparent reason. This plugin allows me to decide which forms should be protected and which not. And also uses reCAPTCHAv2 which makes the rejection process much more transparent to user.

Contact Form 7 no longer supports reCAPTCHA V2 The latest version of the reCAPTCHA API is v3. Contact Form 7 5.1 and later uses this reCAPTCHA v3 API. reCAPTCHA v3 works in the background so users don’t need to read blurred text in an image or even tick the “I’m not a robot” checkbox. Can you still add an option for a V3 version? Thank you!
