Description
Storage for Contact Form CF7 is a WordPress plugin that saves every Contact Form 7 submission directly in your WordPress database. It acts as a reliable backup for leads, even when CF7 email notifications fail, are delayed, or get deleted. Instead of relying only on inbox delivery, you keep a complete record of inquiries and uploaded files.
For teams using WooCommerce sites or any WordPress theme and workflow, the plugin provides an “Entries” view inside the WordPress admin, plus CSV exports for reporting. You also get submission context (time, IP, URL, and user agent) to support audits, debugging, and basic analytics.
