In reply to: [Contact Form DB] getting error code when i click on optionsSorry, I’m being stupid. If you aren’t running PHP 5.3 or better, you can’t see the PHP version on that page!
I am 99.99999% sure that the reason you are seeing that T_FUNCTION error is that you are running less than PHP 5.3 on you site.
Create a file at the top of your website called “phpinfo.php“. Put this in it:
<?php phpinfo();Navigate to that file in your browser. Search the page for PHP Version.

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Can’t view database enteriesGetting a file with each form’s information:
To pull out export files for your data, you can put short code on a page:
[cfdb-export-link form="Your form name"]Backing up your data
Go to your database PHPMyAdmin console, Export tab, and create a backup file for the table wp_cf7dbplugin_submitsResetting the DB
I suggest to just leave the form data in your DB, but just rename the table that the data lives in to something else.
Go to your database PHPMyAdmin console, Operations tab, look for “Rename table to“. Change it to wp_cf7dbplugin_submits_backup for example.
The plugin should then automatically create a new empty wp_cf7dbplugin_submits table and work OK.
You could later reverse the process by renaming the _back table to the original name.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] How to save the source link to my website?If the form appears on a page or post then you should get the page title and URL. But if you put the form in a widget then CF7 may not report this value to CFDB. Another user had this issue. CFDB can only save what CF7 reports to it.

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Writing shortcode with field that has a commaI should make CFDB capture the value of Admin Label for the field, but it is ignoring that value right now. I’ll push out an update for that shortly. That will will only apply to future form submissions.

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Writing shortcode with field that has a commaDon’t use field names that have commas in them. The shortcode will not parse them correctly.

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] getting error code when i click on optionsPHP 5.5 is fine. Even upgrading to 5.3 will fix this error.
Go to the CFDB Options page, System tab. What PHP version does it say your site is running?

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Authetication is required to see exported dataIs there something on your site that forces anonymous ajax calls to be redirected to the login page?

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] How to save the source link to my website?Most forms do not report the page that they are on when submitting to the server. On the CFDB Options page there is a setting for “Save Page URL from Contact Form 7 submissions”

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] I can’t see the fields in ShortcodeChanging the name in CF7 only changes the form name for future entries saved in CFDB.

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Authetication is required to see exported dataI took a closer look here. Since you are using an export link, to make that work without authentication you would have to set
Can See Submission data = AnyoneBut that is a bad idea because then anyone can come to your site and hand-craft a URL to download any of your data.
It is better to login to have some security.
You can create a URL with your login in it to bypass the login page, but that it is not very secure as anyone seeing the URL could get your login info.
You are running outdated PHP 5.2. WP recommended version is 5.6.
PHP 5.2 is not supported by the community. Problems like security issues will not be fixed and you can’t be assured that your WP site will work properly. Your hosting provider should help you upgrade.
CFDB will basically work in 5.2 but the Options page will not work and you will not be able to Export data as Excel files.
