Form Messages Query

  • I received the message below:
    Contact Form 7 doesn’t store submitted messages anywhere. Therefore, you may lose important messages forever if your mail server has issues or you make a mistake in mail configuration.

    Can I confirm that the Forms submitted will still all be stored and retained, and this message is only related to messages?

    How does a user submit a message from a Form?

    Thanks

  • It’s just letting you know there is no built-in form submission saving to the database. It doesn’t store submissions in the database. Once the email notifications are sent the form submission data is lost.

    There are several 3rd-party solutions to handle this for you. WPCF7 Redirect plugin, Contactic, Flamingo are well-regarded plugins to handle storing the submission data on the server. I recommend using a webhook instead, though, and store the data somewhere off-site so that it impervious to any issues that may impact your wordpress hosting.

    I installed a Plugin called “Contact Form CFDB7”, which stores all Form completed, and allows me to then export the data to a “csv” file.

    I presume this will still work without any problems?
