Keep Contact Form 7 submissions in WordPress
Database for Contact Form 7 Pro adds database storage for Contact Form 7 submissions. Contact Form 7 does not directly save form entries to a database, so this extension provides a dashboard where submitted information can be retained and managed instead of relying only on individual email messages.
The Pro edition works with unlimited forms and unlimited data. This makes it suitable for websites using several submission types, including contact forms, quote forms, request forms, and registration forms. It supports the standard form field types offered by Contact Form 7.
Manage entries from the dashboard
After activation, a new Database menu appears under the Contact menu in the WordPress dashboard. From there, saved submissions are displayed in an organized interface for review and management. You can choose the selected form and work with the entries connected to it.
- Save data submitted through Contact Form 7
- Automatically record submissions from multiple forms with Pro
- Change tags and edit details for individual contact entries
- Sort columns with drag-and-drop controls
- Show or hide columns in the database view
- Delete contact entries in bulk
- Export all data to CSV
- Export the data from a selected column to CSV
Depending on the information collected by a form, saved records can include names, phone numbers, email addresses, subjects, messages, submission dates and times, user IDs, IP addresses, and other submitted information. The database view gives you a central place to review the details gathered through your forms.
Useful for different form workflows
Pro is designed for sites that receive submissions through more than one Contact Form 7 form. Instead of manually checking each email and copying the information you need, you can have the form data saved and displayed in the dashboard. Sorting, column controls, editing, filtering, and CSV export support practical workflows such as reviewing requests, organizing contacts, or preparing selected records for use elsewhere.
The extension is compatible with major WordPress themes, plugins, and page builders, according to the supplied product information. It is also described as working with other Contact Form 7 extensions, including Multi-Step for Contact Form 7.

The Pro offering includes priority support for issues related to saving form details. The product information also states that premium users can request the development of new options or features.
