Sorry for the confusion — the plugin only supports CSV export from the WP dashboard at the moment. It is impossible to include the form entry as a CSV attachment to the confirmation emails.

Would this be a useful feature? Would you like to include just the current submission as an attachment or also send daily reports of all submissions for the past day/week/month?

Oh okay I understand, no problem. To be honest that’s the main feature I expected, in my case simply as attachement to the sent emails. Would absolutely be a useful feature, surely also for other users.

Is it possible to get a refund for my purchase? Unfortunately I have no usage for the plugin now. Would really appreciate this.

Sure, no problem! Here is a link to request a refund https://codecanyon.net/refund_requests/new per instructions here https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460-Can-I-Get-A-Refund-

The storage plugin is only interacting with the data from the form before it gets sent via email. The data on the thank you page is related to the “Redirection for Contact Form 7” functionality so you should reach out to their support.

Hi! Yes, the [storage_entry_id] field should be replaced with a unique value per submission. For example, if there are two emails setup for each submission—they both will have the same ID there since they refer to the same submission.

Hello Preseto. Thank you for your reply. I am happy to hear that [storage_entry_id] will have the same ID for the two emails with same submission since this is the kind of set up that I have.

Yes, the links to uploaded files should show up in the entry for the submission. Can you please send screenshots of the form backend and the entry page for a sample submission where files were uploaded to support@preseto.com?

Sorry to hear that your site went through a spam attack. The storage plugin currently offers delete option for the 25 entries shown in the table. Unfortunately, there is no option to select more entries at one time so going through 20k entries would take a lot of time.

The plugin stores the entries as custom post type “cf7_entry” with several of data in the post meta of the associated posts so you could use any tool such as WP CLI or plugin that allows batch delete of specific post types. Deleting directly in the database is also possible but that won’t remove the associated post meta which could be a problem in some cases.

Hi! The plugin currently doesn’t support any scheduling. Can you please elaborate on your use-case? Are you thinking of getting an email of all the form submissions attached for a period of time delivery on daily, weekly or monthly basis?

Hi! I was thinking of sending a report from all the submissions of a specific form to some emails.

Sure! Happy to send you a copy. Can you please send an email to support@preseto.com?

What is the error you’re getting when trying to use the storage plugin with that version of the plugin? I’ve tried to keep the storage plugin compatible with all previous versions of CF7 so I would like to know if there is an issue with that potentially.

Thanks!

Thank you for your quick answer, I will send email to support@preseto.com with screenshot of the error

That’s a great suggestion, thank you! I’ve added this to the backlog of our tasks and will include that in the next release by registering a cron job if a checkbox is enabled in the backend. How does that sound?

AWESOME! This would be really useful! Especially with career etc forms where personal data needs to be deleted on regular intervals.

The uploaded files are public just like all files uploaded to WP. That was a decision to ensure that files can be stored in the majority of WP installs since wp-content/uploads is technically the only directory that would allow writes by the server.

However, we add an additional suffix to the filenames to avoid guessing. All files are stored in the wp-content/uploads/cf7-storage directory and have the following format DD-SS.EXT where DD is the submission post ID, SS is the hash of the absolute file path before uploading and EXT is the original extension.

So, yes—everybody able to guess (or enumerate) the submission ID and the hash, can access the files.

The plugin does try to put an .htaccess file in the root of the wp-content/uploads/cf7-storage directory that prevents the listing of files on Apache web servers but it can’t do anything about Nginx servers, for example.

I’m happy to refund your purchase if this plugin doesn’t work out for you.

Hello, I am still stuck. Thanks, F.

Hi Frederic! I’m really sorry for missing your original message!

Adjusting the columns is only possible through code as you already discovered. The manage_contact_page_cf7_storage_columns filter is generated dynamically by WordPress based on admin page IDs contact_page for the Contact Form 7 top-level page and cf7_storage subpage that contains the entries.

However, it looks like the plugin is missing the manage_{$this->screen->id}_custom_column so it doesn’t support a way to add the actual output for the column content. I’ve added this to the list of issues and will fix in the next release. Unfortunately, I don’t have an estimate for when this could be.

Ok, thank you for your answer. I will try other things and wait for your update. Frederic

Hi! Thanks for reaching out!

The Contact Form 7 Storage plugin is only available as a paid product so maybe your developer installed it when configuring the site and didn’t enable the automatic updates as described in the “Automatic Updates” section of the product page. You only need a valid API token and this plugin https://www.envato.com/lp/market-plugin/ which enables automatic updates for all your Envato products.

There was never a free version of the plugin but it could be that somebody made a copy as it is allowed according to the GPL license. However, in that case you don’t get the automatic updates and support.

The $29 is a one time fee for unlimited sites and unlimited future updates so I would highly encourage you to consider purchasing the license.

The integration with Google Analytics is available as part of this free plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-extras/ Note that it doesn’t have an integration with Salesforce, though.

Deleting entries currently does require that you go through every paginated view of the items in the admin and select the items to delete. I realize that this isn’t great when there are many entries. Having a batch delete button is a great idea and I will add that to the feature requests. For now, you could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-delete/ to delete all posts of the CF7 Storage type.

Hi! Yes, the plugin is compatible with Multisite but it doesn’t provide a central listing of all submissions across the network because entries are stored on per-site basis similar to WordPress posts and pages.

And the table doesn’t list the site name or URL.

Ok thanks, so we look again, when we find anything we give you feedback.

Dear Preseto, so we have check again the problem with the storage tool. So under Google Console this error is come:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 () and this is the error file: https://**/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/131/feedback

Dear Preseto, we finde the problem. Thanks your tool working well. Greats

Thanks for the suggestions!

I’ve released an update to address the upload API changes introduced in Contact Form 7 version 5.4.

Thanks for the question!

No, there is no way to edit the submitted data in the form entries. The only option is to export them or delete the entries.

Let me know if you have any another questions!
