 * Hi,
 * [https://contactform7.com/2023/11/30/contact-form-7-584/](https://contactform7.com/2023/11/30/contact-form-7-584/)
   says “an add-on plugin called “Redirection for Contact Form 7” deliberately disables
   the safety mechanism of Contact Form 7, and, as a result, amplifies the risk 
   of the vulnerability. Considering the maliciousness that this fact implies…..”
 * The author of that plugin says in this thread – [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-wordfence-no-longer-recommending-this-plugin/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-wordfence-no-longer-recommending-this-plugin/)–
   that he does not know what part of his code this is referring to, and that he
   wants to know. Please could you post in that thread in order to clarify what 
   code this is?
 * Thank you,
   David

 * I want to know too. The reason  “Redirection for Contact Form 7”  exists is because
   Contact Form 7 removed all functionality and forces you to add theme-level php
   code – which of course is useless for something that’s form-level.
