Since the gravity form was upgraded to V2.9 website forms, no email notifications have been sent, and entries have not been saved.
Previously, I was getting the invalid recaptcha when recaptcha V3 was used. I removed the recaptcha, but since then, form submission is working, but no email notifications have been sent, and entries have not been saved.
Can you provide a link to a page where the form is located?
Here is the link to check the form: https://alliedroofidev.wpengine.com/contact
(username: alliedroofidev password: password) to access this staging website.

This is caused by using a custom submit button instead of the built-in button. The custom button does not include attributes from the original button. Specifically, there should be an onclick attribute that triggers the form submission scripts. Those scripts are responsible for blocking duplicate submissions and triggering integrations like reCAPTCHA.
The recommended way to change the input type button to an actual button element, whilst retaining the attributes from the original button, can be found here: gform_submit_button - Gravity Forms Documentation
Thank you for looking into this, but we are experiencing this issue on websites that do not use the custom submit button. For example, on the website Contact the Raleigh-Wake County Dental Society in North Carolina, the default submit button is used and the recaptcha add-on is not installed, but we still receive the message “The reCAPTCHA was invalid.”
I just tested that form, it submitted without issue, and displayed the confirmation message. Try clearing your browser cache.
I have the same problem how you guys solve this issue? I got the same problem after updating the wordpress and gravity form to latest version.
Seeing this same problem across many sites that have been updated to 2.9.
For anyone having trouble after upgrading to Gravity Forms 2.9, be sure you have cleared any browser cache, and disable Cloudflare Rocketloader. Test your form in an incognito or private window. If problems persist, please open a support ticket here:

And be sure to include your system status report:
Thank you.
