Advanced Custom Fields: reCAPTCHA Field

Although it seems this plugin was broken and not maintained for several months, I've installed it just now, exactly one week since it's last update - and it's simple functionality just - works.

I hope it will continue to work and that Google won't change much in their API, but in case something does break, I will return here to add comments to this review.

Till then, I believe the author deserves 5 stars for his effort, at least to improve the overall rating of the plugin which is currently (unjustified) 3.3

Keep up the good work!

Works out of the box (when the keys are entered)

Tried using this with an acf_form that created a new post, using the method to put it inside the acf_form() function. It worked, but you have to submit the form once before you can fill out the rest of the form. This actually creates blank posts!

And configuration is just very convoluted.

Some other reviews say it worked out of the box. What? Not for me. But I'm not using it in a field group, because it should only appear for guests. Oh well.

Kinda works

Ever struggled with placing Contact Form 7 forms exactly where you want on your web site?
Normally, to display a Contact Form 7 form, you need to copy a shortcode like <code>[contact-form-7 id="123"]</code> and paste it in the right place. One wrong character and the form breaks. If you have 10 pages with different forms, managing all those shortcodes becomes a headache.
ACF Field for CF7 solves this.
It adds a simple dropdown field with help of Advanced Custom Fields to your page editor that lists all your Contact Form 7 forms. Just pick the form you want and it’s done. It shows up on your page. No shortcodes to copy. No code to write. No mistakes.
<h4>Before vs After This Plugin</h4>
Without this plugin: 
1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 
2. Copy the shortcode. 
3. Paste it into your page, widget, or template. 
4. Hope you didn’t mistype anything. 
5. Repeat for every page that needs a different form.
With this plugin: 
1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 
2. Add a Advanced Custom Field for Contact Form 7 to your desired location. 
3. Pick Contact Form from a dropdown field. 
4. Done.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
• One-Click Form Selection — A clean dropdown in your editor lists every Contact Form 7 form. Pick one, save, done. 
• No Shortcodes Required — Forms render automatically on the front end. No copying, no pasting, no broken markup. 
• Client-Friendly — Content editors manage forms without developer help. Fewer support requests for you. 
• Ultra Lightweight — Only ~10 KB. Zero impact on site speed or performance. 
• Allow Null Option — Make the form field optional so editors can leave it empty when no form is needed. 
• Trusted by 10,000+ Sites — Actively installed and maintained since 2012.
<h4>For Developers: Quick Start</h4>
Register an ACF field with type <code>contact_form_7</code>, then output it in your template:
<pre><code>// Display the form directly
echo get_field( 'your_form_field' );
</code></pre>
Need the CF7 form object instead of rendered HTML? Use this filter:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'acf_cf7_object', '__return_true' );
</code></pre>
Now <code>get_field()</code> returns the WPCF7_ContactForm object for full control over the output.
<h4>Real-World Examples</h4>
• Landing Pages — Each landing page has its own lead capture form. Editors pick which form appears — no developer needed. 
• Service Pages — A web agency builds one template for all service pages. Each page shows a different inquiry form selected by the client. 
• Site-Wide Default Form — Use with ACF option pages to set one global “Contact Us” form across headers, footers, or sidebars. 
• Multi-Language Sites — Different forms for different languages, each selected per page through the editor.
<h4>ACF Field For CF7 Pro</h4>
Need more? The Pro version adds:
• Gutenberg Block Support — Use CF7 forms inside the WordPress block editor. 
• Widget & Theme Customizer — Place forms in widget areas and customizer panels. 
• Allow Null — Make the form field optional so editors can leave it empty when no form is needed. 
• Disable Forms — Mark one or more forms as disabled to prevent them from being selected.
