My user role is administrator. I will give it a try and report back.

Thank you.

I think there are two ways: 1) using [response] to dictate where the message should appear 2) using thank you page.

1) you can use [response] and see if it bypasses refreshing to the top of the browser. At then end before [submit], or after [submit] insert [response]. This is where your success message will appear.

2) using https://contactform7.com/redirecting-to-another-url-after-submissions/ example, you can redirect to another page after successful submit.

Your email not arriving might be related to your hosting company, or your email account killing the email. I don’t know because I suffered for 3 years and mine is all of sudden working again.

While I was not receiving any email, I used bcc:[email protected] (insert your email recipient) in the Additional Headers section. Try that and see if you receive a test form.

I installed PHP in post/page plugin (your choice) and then wrote a simple login script. Compare the entered password to a string (or to csv, database etc your choice) and if it is the same, then echo ‘[contact form]’

Oh, by the way, install another plugin to hide post/page from built-in search especially if you do something like

if ($pass == “xyz”)

because it will show up when the page is searched. If you hide the post/page from being searched it will not show. If you use external file as stored password then I guess it does not matter.

I have multiple contact forms using as class signups. Each form sends to different email address/different teacher, with different thank you page. I believe your situation is similar to mine. This is how I am doing it for now.

1) install PHP in post/page plugin (your choice)
2) create post/page for selecting 8 stores as dropdown
3) on select store, echo the appropriate contact short code
4) in Additional Settings in each contact form, you can insert on_sent_ok: location = thank you page/?var=store1msg etc.
5) create post/page where it will $_GET[‘var’] and echo appropriate message (optional)

Good luck ??

This might be too late to respond, but I have 5 shared folders showing in one post/page and they are showing just fine.

So, I am wondering if sharing gdrive folder has to be the second option, “Anyone with a link” otherwise it will not work?

And to keep it private, you can password protect the page/post and hide from search by installing a plugin that hides specific post/page from built-in wordpress search.

I just have a follow up.

my bcc used to work. But due to the recent Contact Form 7 update I dropped bcc information because To field started to work. (If you follow my thread To used to work, stopped working for 3 years, and then it started to work again).

I have been testing bcc in Additional Headers section. I am not able to send any email to bcc email (which is no big deal for me), but it is troubling that one is working and the other is not. I can’t be sure since I am hosted with GoDaddy. I can almost see eyes rolling :). Anyway, I cannot use bcc even with 1 email address. Again, no big deal on my end but troubling find at least.

I have not tested this fully, but would it be something like:

on_sent_ok: "window.open('https://some-domain.com/sample-post/', '_blank');"

Place that in your Additional Settings.

One problem on my testing is that browser security asks for allowing a popup window. This does not give me the desired outcome as you might expect.

You can call the hidden field just like all other fields you set. In the given example, you can use:

[my-hidden]

Or, any “name” you set to use in the custom field.

How about writing a simple php email file that includes bcc option in the header? This will test out if your server allows bcc option in the email?

I know, it might be a far fetched idea but you never know what your hosting server is blocking. My hosting server blocks any SMTP remote mail login using my own server–this, I was told, is to prevent any spam sent using shared hosting service. Either that, or they are trying to upsell me to their VPN server because it’s faster, better and latest… lol

I have the same hosting and when I use the mail option BCC, then it always shows the mail server.

When I do not use any additional header settings and use “FROM” as my domain name then it shows the correct domain name in “VIA” information (in gmail).

But, if you look at the original information, full header, original message or whatever it is called when you can see the full information before the email body message, the mail server is still displayed.

Contact Form 7 does not store any data to a database. I use Contact Form DB plugin. I am sure there are other plugins out there that will suit your needs.

Hello heathernebula,

Does this help?

https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/

Try

BCC: address1@addy(dot)com, address2@someother(dot)com

Could it be that during your plugin update something could have gone wrong? Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the plugin? I don’t know what you have tried in the past, but I had to ask.

I am not good at coding, just good at bending something to work to my advantage to a certain point.

My suggestion will not pass the variables to the next page. I suppose you can pass the variables in the URL but that’s something I do not know how to do (passing PHP variables to javascript URL). And, after testing for a bit it looks like Additional Settings perform well after form submission. Which means there’s nothing to post to the next page. I assume you already know that.
