This is a great tool, especially with its integration into the Contact Form 7 plugin. However, there’s a minor bug when exporting non-Latin characters, such as Persian. It seems the encoding is set to Western by default. Switching to UTF-8 encoding should resolve the issue. Thanks!

Sending contact forms takes usually 3s.
With Flamingo active and 30k records in db the time is much greater, repeatable 15s which is unacceptable.

Ни какого нормального функционала, все неудобно и примитивно! Никогда и никому не советую его использовать, есть нормальные варианты. Одна ценность – связь с Akismet.

Is this plugin going to be updated to keep up with the latest WordPress version?

This is a utility for the Contact Forms 7 plugin, and as such should insert settings and other menus UNDERNEATH the Contact Forms menu for the CF7 plugin. Instead, it inserts a menu at the top-level, taking up space that degrades menu accessibility and increases cognitive load on users with no benefit at all.

the images that are sent in the forms are saved as a hash and there is no way to recover them, the support does not seem to care about this

The little companion to Contact Forms 7 that keeps a copy of all form submissions in case the generated email gets lost. Now nothing can get lost.

I love this plugin.
One thing I would like is that I don’t like the sidebar in the admin panel to be overwhelmed.
It would be nice if there is an option to place it within the ContactForm7 items in the side menu.

An absolutely first-rate and honest program – well designed and reliable. What is more, it is featured on the CF7 website. I considered this program and CFDB7. I was suspicious of the reviews on CFDB7 – only 400k installs and circa 1500+ 5-star reviews. At the time of writing, Flamingo has 700k installs and 100+ reviews. Having promoted software myself this seems much more realistic. CFDB7 also has a page comparing it with Flamingo and it makes a big thing about the number of reviews they have in comparison with Flamingo – which increases my suspicion even more. One thing that is worth bearing in mind is that when you launch an app you are inundated by dodgy 3rd world companies trying to sell you 1000+ 5-star reviews.

I have CF7 but I don’t receive the messages. Flamingo resolves this problem for me. ??

If your site is regularly scanned with penetration testing tools like Arachni or Netsparker do not use this plugin. A single Netsparker scan can easily overwhelm a site with this plugin enabled. Performance degrades severely over the course of a pentest scan as “spam” messages build up. Submitting a new contact form slows down considerably because on the backend there seem to be an ever increasing number of database queries as the number of messages Flamingo stores goes up. Eventually it becomes like an amplification attack and it will overwhelm the backend WordPress database with too many queries. Submitting a single new contact form eventually produces thousands of queries on the backend to the database.

Big fan of Flamingo for CF7. Simple, elegant and no extra fluff to it. Love the inbox filter. Once and a while a qualified message slips through, but overall very happy. Will use on all my WP sites.

wonderful – i was kind of hesitant to install this plugin, because it was said to fill up the database quickly, depending of course of the amount of spam.
now i learn that version 2.2 auto-deletes spam after 30 days – exactly what i was looking for.
thanks a lot.

I didn’t login to my website in a few days. Today, when I logged in, I had 10 pages of fake email addresses with duplicate names. It makes me wonder if the developers added these email addresses to make it look as if their plugin really worked.
If I could give it zero stars, I would.

It’s a decent plugin, provided for free by the same author of CF7. Nonetheless, it has very limited functionalities and needs to be improved very much: data exporting is way too basic, admin panel columns are not customizable in a straightforward way, documentation is minimal.

A good plugin by the same author as CF7 for storing the submissions sent via CF7.
Useful for maintaining an independent record of messages sent and checking that the spam filter is working correctly.
HOWEVER, our major problem is that if a message is incorrectly marked as spam (and thereby not sent by CF7), although Flamingo allows you to see this message and mark it as ‘not spam’, there is no way to re-send this message to the intended recipients – which is kind of the point of checking the spam filter!

Flamingo is a decent plugin for message storage with CF7 – it does exactly what it advertises. But we all know how pervasive spam can be – and where Flamingo unfortunately falls short of the mark is in handling bulk spam messages. If that were improved this would be a 5-star review.
You can look through old reviews here and see that the first request for a “delete all spam” button was almost five years ago, but this essential feature is still not built in. A little more support from the developer would turn this from a semi-good plugin to a great one.
It’s evidently common for users to have long-running sites that have accumulated tens of thousands of spam messages, and the only options to remove them are either manually shifting 20 messages at a time to trash (which does have a delete all button – so the feature is almost implemented already) or directly accessing the site database to bulk delete from there. The latter isn’t something you want to rely upon in a production environment.

This plugin does what it claims.
The only issue is that there’s no easy way to delete all the data stored by this plugin. Of course in the flamingo inbound admin page you can delete entries but if you have 10 000 entries it’ll take forever to delete them and you’ll have to do the work twice because firs you send the entries to trash then you have to delete them forever…
Removing the plugin doesn’t delete its data.
Looking at the database, flamingo use _postmeta table and I gave up trying to delete its data via phpmyadmin.
Your database will gain weight and it’ll be almost impossible to clean it.
I’m looking forward to give 5 stars once this major issue will be solved.

This plugin is great, after using it for approximately 6 months working on every wordpress update so far, I have had a great insight in how much this actually helps out. Since for some random reason I no longer can send mail trough my wordpress website any more, this saved me big time! Being able to view all messages locally is a great way for me to solve not only the mail issue but also to block 100% of the spam that got in my inbox from the contact form on my website, the approximately rate of valid messages revived from this is 1 in 48 messages during 6 months and all of the 47 spam messages were sent to spam! Thats amazing!
Never ever had I thought that would be even possible, and I have no ide how that gets verified, but it sure does work.
Im proud to tell my competition that I’m using flamingo to solve some of the most common issues using a contact form integrated on a website! Thank you so much for this wonderful plugin! Stopped me from wasting time 47 times ^^
