Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Image CAPTCHA for Contact Form 7 and WPForms by HookAndHook (DSGVO/GDPR)
If either only parts of the CAPTCHA text is translated, or everything is displayed in English, please read through the following possible causes and how to fix them. 1 Translation missing All plugins within the wordpress.org repository are translated by the translate.wordpress.org community. Maybe your language set is not fully translated or not translated at all. In this case, you have the following options: 1. Contribute to the translate.wordpress.org community and translate your language 2. Use another plugin to create your own local translation 3. Purchase the Image CAPTCHA PRO plugin which offers the possibility to choose your own messages without relying on any external translation - Go Pro! 2 Update WordPress translations You might face the situation that your language pack is completely translated on translate.wordpress.org but the translation still might not work as expected. In this case, you have the following options: 1. Update your language packs via: WP Admin > Dashboard > Updates > Translations > Update Translations 3 Contact Form 7 language settings Contact Form 7 saves a meta variable for the language of each respective form and this is being done when you FIRST save the form. In this case, you have the following options: 1. Change the variable via the WordPress database directly (look for the post ID of the respective form in the postmeta table and there’ll be a “_locale” option). 2. Make sure to change the language in your WordPress backend to your desired target language and then simply re-create the CF7 form.
Yes, both the free and pro versions support WPML. In fact, there is an active partnership between WPML and Image CAPTCHA for seamless integration.
Please follow those steps: 1. Install CF7 and our plugin 2. Install WPML plugin and the CF7 Multilingual addon 3. WP admin backend: Choose your desired language, via flag at the top menu e.g. German (see screenshot) 4. WP admin backend: Choose Contact > Contact Forms > Add New 5. CF7: Translate the labels 6. CF7: In the right white sidebar, choose Translations to e.g. English (see screenshot) 7. WPML: Translate the strings into e.g. English 8. WPML: When finished click the green button: "Complete Translation" 9. WP admin backend: Choose Pages > Add New Page 10. WP page: Set the e.g. German title "Kontaktformular" and insert the Contact Form 7 shortcode 11. WP page: Save as draft or publish page 12. WP page: On the right, click: e.g. English + Translate (see screenshot)
Simply add this shortcode [cf7ic] to your contact form.
To make it so the CAPTCHA only shows when the form is being filled out, add "toggle" to the shortcode [cf7ic "toggle"] in your contact form. Toggle for Contact Form 7 is not working The most likely reason the toggle is not working is because the double quotes around the word toggle has been changed to "smart quotes", meaning that they are opening and closing quotation marks and not the verticle lines. To fix, simply delete the quotes and re-add them with your keyboard - do not copy and paste.
If the Image CAPTCHA does not appear, please confirm that you are running PHP version 7 or higher.
If the styling does not look right, you may need to clear your browser cache. If you have any caching plugins or speed optimization plugins installed, you may need to clear your site cache as well.
