    In principal, if you see a field called “XXX” being saved that you don’t want saved, simply add “XXX” to “Do not save fields in DB named”. For example:
    / .*wpcf7.*/,_wpnonce,XXX

    That will stop saving that field for all future form submission. It does not change existing form submissions.

    I see how to eliminate the field. Is there a way to prevent saving the record in the DB?

    IE: Is there a way to prevent bot spam filled out CF7 forms from being saved as a record in the database?

    Thanks

    No direct way to stop them from being saved to the DB. If CF7 thinks it is spam, then it will not save. So I rely on CF7 to figure that out.
