Description
Contact Form 7 sends your form submissions by email and stores nothing. If that email lands in spam, bounces, or is deleted, the lead is gone for good.
Pojanviikari Capture Log for Contact Form 7 is the reliable data layer underneath CF7. It captures every submission to your own database — even when the email fails or the message is flagged as spam — and lets you browse, search, view, and export them.
Why this plugin
- Never lose a submission. Entries are written the moment a form is submitted, independently of email delivery. Each entry also keeps a raw-payload copy as a fallback.
- Browse & search every entry in a familiar WordPress admin table, filtered by form and status.
- Export to CSV (Excel-friendly, UTF-8) — select the entries you want and export them to a spreadsheet.
- Privacy-ready. Integrates with WordPress’ built-in Export/Erase Personal Data tools, optional IP anonymization, and an optional retention auto-cleanup.
- Lightweight & safe. No bloat, no build tools; a storage error can never break your visitor’s form submission.

FAQ
Does this work with the latest Contact Form 7?
Yes. It hooks Contact Form 7’s standard submission event and stores a copy of each submission.
Will it slow down or break my forms?
No. Capture is wrapped so that any storage error is logged and ignored — your visitor’s submission always completes normally.
Are file uploads stored?
File names are recorded with the entry. Archiving the uploaded files themselves is planned for a future add-on.
Can I export to Excel?
Yes — entries export as a UTF-8 CSV with a BOM, so Excel opens accented characters (å, ä, ö) correctly.
Does it store personal data?
Entries can contain personal data. The plugin integrates with WordPress’ Export/Erase Personal Data tools, supports IP anonymization, and can auto-delete old entries on a schedule you set.
