[CP2K-user] TDDFPT calculations with CP2K7.1 using the range-separated functionals

Dear All,

I have tried to use the TDDFPT method implemented in CP2K7.1 to do excited 
state calculations with the range-separated functionals such as wB97XD. 
However, after several tests with a small molecule, namely H2Pc, I found 
that the first two excitation energies are greatly underestimated in 
comparison with the LR-TDDFT results obtained in  GAUSSIAN09 (ca. 0.51 and 
0.60 eV (CP2K7.1) vs. 2.18 and 2.26 eV (GAUSSIAN09)).
I wonder whether there are some mistakes with my input file or there are 
some problem of TDDFPT for such calculations?

The input file used in my calculations is written as follows:
