Location of CFDB database

  • I am using Contact Form DB (CFDB) extension. I understand all of the data for the various forms are stored in a single database. I would like to know where the CFDB database is stored (i.e. path), so I can copy it to the new installation. I am using version 2.4.5 of contact Form DB.

    The data is stored in table wp_cf7dbplugin_submits in standard installations. But the “wp_” part can be different depending on your installation’s database prefix.

    I can’t seem to find it. I am using ftp to access the files, and even checked under httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension. No luck…

    ‘wp_cf7dbplugin_submits’ is a table within the SQL database (note above, the ‘wp_’ prefix may be different for your installation). Tables cannot be viewed on a file list. A couple of options that I am aware of (1) Use phpMyAdmin to get into the database. Often provided via cPanel (control panel) on the host but not all hosts provide cPanel. In which case, searching the internet, there are ways to install/use phpMyAdmin with ftp. Then you can export data to an SQL file. Several factors may be involved to make sure the data is named correctly for import your new installation. (2) Use the export feature in CFDB, under Advanced. Notice link to documentation.
