Database for CF7

Reviewers say it's simple to set up and does the job, with attachment saving and Excel export singled out, alongside requests for better special-character handling and a separate email column.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

   DB for CF7 totally works! No problems. Easy. Simple. No configuration needed. WP 6.2. I was using Flamingo to save a copy of my contact form submissions. Important to have a local saved copy because we’ve def had cases where the emails never made it. But Flamingo does not handle attachments at all. So I went looking & am happy with DB for CF7. It’s very easy to use & works just as easy. Except better, because it easily handles attachments, even multiple attachments. Whatever CF7 can do. BTW; this plugin can work alongside other similar plugins, so you can try it out while still letting the other similar plugin (such as Flamingo) continue to save the ContactForm7 submissions. So you’ll have TWO copies saved.

   Hello, your plugin is very nice, but it has issues with special chars like “Ć,Š,Đ,Č,” In database its stored like “?”, and in that case Jquery which handles Table creation becomes broken, and cannot create header, so import becomes impossible. Also in Database table, if I make manual change it wont be fixed at all, its still broken. If you can fix that, your plugin should be rated by 10 stars.
