Cursed be the day I got involved with elementor.
I have a similar problem! The images in the carousel are loaded selectively, it is especially noticeable that only the first images are loaded in the carousel, while the rest are loaded endlessly. There are no errors in the browser console. Enabling/disabling other plugins does not help. Changing the elementor settings (delayed image loading, caching, etc.) doesn’t help either. I’ve rolled back the version, and I’m waiting for a solution.

In reply to: [AntiSpam for Contact Form 7] Broken pluginI checked for JavaScript errors and others that occur when loading the page through the browser console (developer tools) first of all and monitored them constantly during tests (network, cache disabled) – zero errors. If there were mistakes, it would probably be easier to determine the cause.

=== CF7A SUPER DEBUG - END ===
DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS:
WHAT WORKS:
PHP code is running - diagnostics are working
The plugin is active (plugin_active: true)
The right way (cf7-antispam/cf7-antispam.php )
CF7 forms are on the page - YES
WordPress JS loaded - LOADED
PROBLEM:
CF7A scripts are not loaded - Found scripts: 0
CF7A settings are not set - cf7a_settings: NOT SET
jQuery is not loaded at the time of diagnosis (but this is normal for early execution)
DETAILED CF7 ANTISPAM DIAGNOSTIC REPORT
THE OVERALL PICTURE
The CF7 AntiSpam plugin is installed and activated, but its JavaScript files are not loaded on the frontend.
This is a critical issue that completely disables the antispam functionality.
WHAT IS WORKING CORRECTLY
1. ACTIVATION OF THE PLUGIN
The plugin is activated in WordPress
Path:
cf7-antispam/cf7-antispam.php , The PHP part of the plugin is running
2. REST API FUNCTIONALITY
13 REST endpoints registered
API routes available:
/cf7-antispam/v1/status
/cf7-antispam/v1/force-update
/cf7-antispam/v1/reset-blacklist
and the other 10 endpoints
3. CONTACT FORM 7
CF7 is initialized correctly
A form has been found on the contact page
The form is in the init state (initialized)
The wpcf7 object is available in JavaScript
4. WORDPRESS ENVIRONMENT
WordPress JavaScript object loaded
jQuery is loaded (but later in the download process)
44 scripts have been successfully loaded on the page
There are no conflicts with other anti-spam plugins
WHAT DOESN 'T WORK
1. CF7 ANTISPAM SCRIPTS
0 CF7A scripts uploaded to DOM
0 scripts registered in WordPress
0 scripts queued up
2. SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION
The cf7a_settings object is not defined
Localization of settings is not performed
3. STYLES
CF7 AntiSpam styles are not loaded
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE CAUSES
THE MAIN REASON: SCRIPTS ARE NOT REGISTERED IN WORDPRESS
Proofs:
PHP has registered CF7A scripts: 0
PHP has queued CF7A scripts: 0
CF7A script elements in DOM: 0
The CF7 anti-spam plugin does not call wp_register_script() for its JS files
The plugin does not call wp_enqueue_script() to add scripts to the queue.
WordPress knows nothing about plugin scripts
SECONDARY CAUSE: THERE IS NO LOCALIZATION OF SETTINGS
Proofreading:
cf7a_settings: NOT INSTALLED
There is no wp_localize_script() call to transfer settings from PHP to JS
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
PROBLEM STRUCTURE:
php
CORRECT FLOW (missing):
wp_register_script('cf7a-script', $url, $deps, $ver); // ❌ NOT CALLED
wp_enqueue_script('cf7a-script'); // ❌ wp_localize_script IS NOT CALLED
('cf7a-script', 'cf7a_settings', $data); // ❌ NOT CALLED
RESULT:
Scripts are not loaded into the browser.
The settings are not transmitted in JavaScript
Anti-spam functionality does not work
POTENTIAL CAUSES OF FAILURE:
An error in the main plugin file (cf7-antispam.php )
Script loading conditions are not met
Priority conflict of hooks (wp_enqueue_scripts is called too early/late)
PHP errors in the plugin code that interrupt execution
FINAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM:
ROOT CAUSE:
File build/script.asset.php it contains an empty array of dependencies, although the CF7 AntiSpam script requires:
jQuery - for basic functionality
of contact-form-7 - for integration with CF7 forms
WHY THIS HAPPENS:
The plugin uses Webpack or another build system
The dependencies were not correctly identified during the build.
As a result, the script is registered without dependencies.
WordPress does not download the necessary libraries before the CF7A script.

In reply to: [AntiSpam for Contact Form 7] Broken pluginOkay, it got interesting. I decided to connect the plugin, diagnose the problem, and found the following:
File /build/script.asset.php contains an empty array of dependencies: ‘dependencies’ => array()
Because of this, the plugin scripts are not loaded, as WordPress does not know that jQuery and Contact Form 7 are needed.
For a temporary fix, I had to manually register scripts with the correct dependencies.Diagnostic results after correction:

✅CF7: trueAfter fixing the script download, another problem appeared.:
The plugin does not add the hidden field_cf7a_addressto the Contact Form 7 forms.
It is possible that the CF7 form check on the page is not working correctly.
The result is the error"no_ip: Address field empty"when submitting any form.
Forcibly added the IP address field to the forms via JavaScript,
but it didn’t help – the data is already there, but the verification fails.The logs show:
=== CF7A POSTED DATA FILTER ===

CF7A IP FIX (posted_data): Real IP = XX.XX.XXX.XXX
✅ CF7A IP FIX (posted_data): Added encrypted IPI intercepted the form submission to add the IP address to the data, but it didn’t help.
The data is already there, but the verification fails.There may be a problem with hook priorities.
Scripts are registered on the wp_footer hook, but must be registered on wp_enqueue_scripts
The checks occur before the data can be prepared.- Look at the build system
Check that the Webpack/importer defines the dependencies correctly.
In build/script.asset.php must be: ‘dependencies’ => array(‘jquery’, ‘contact-form-7’) - Fix adding and checking hidden fields
Check the cf7a_add_hidden_fields() method in the CF7_AntiSpam_Frontend class.
Make sure that the _cf7a_address field is added to all CF7 forms. - Perhaps you need to optimize hook priorities.
Register scripts on wp_enqueue_scripts, not wp_footer
Check the data after it is fully prepared.
Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [AntiSpam for Contact Form 7] Broken pluginI am faced with the following problems (Apache 2.4 + PHP 8.4+MySQL 8+WP6.8.3):
JavaScript is working incorrectly to fill in hidden fields.
The JavaScript of the plugin does not fill in the required hidden fields of the form:
_cf7a_address (IP address)
_cf7a_version (plugin version)
_cf7a_timestamp (timestamp)
Fields for bot fingerprinting
As a result, the plugin marks all shipments as spam due to the lack of necessary data.Critical error in the B8 filter database.
A fatal PHP error occurs when submitting the form.:
b8\storage\storage_base: The connected database is not a b8 v3 database
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function classify() on false
The consequences are a complete failure of form processing, the form is not sent.
A temporary solution is to reset B8 via the admin panel, they added it for a reason;)
Although it was possible to add exception handling during B8 initialization and automatic database recovery in case of errors.Lack of graceful degradation in case of errors.
If any component fails (IP detection, b8, etc.), the entire protection system stops working and collapses.
There is no fallback mechanism – if there are errors in individual components, the rest of the checks do not continue.Problems with determining the IP address – the plugin does not take into account various proxy/CDN configurations.
Only $_POST[‘_cf7a_address’] is used, but not the standard methods.
There is no multi-level IP detection with a fallback to standard server methods in case of errors.Caching conflict – static timestamp and other dynamic data values are cached.
When using page caching, time checking becomes ineffective.I didn’t go into much detail, but looking at the code, I can say that this plugin uses a “fragile” architecture.:
- Relies on client-side JavaScript for mission-critical data
- Has no backup processing mechanisms when client data is unavailable
- Ignores server-side methods for determining the same IP, which are standard
…good luck with the development, maybe I’ll come back in a while 🙂

If you don’t test your code before production, what other relationship can there be? Don’t worry too much, I’ve already removed it and installed another plugin that doesn’t cause any “incompatibility” issues.
