Contact Form 7 not saving in database

Note: You won’t see your CF7 forms in CFDB until a submission is made on a form and CFDB saves it.

If it is not saving, check the CFDB Options page to ensure that:
– Saving CF7 forms is enabled
– The option to exclude certain forms from being saved is not set to exclude your form

I have tried submitting information through the form multiple times and it has not saved. Saving CF7 forms is enabled in the options. No forms are excluded.

Let’s see if an error message is generated. Go to CFDB Options page, find “Error output file (full path) or email address” and put in your email address. Then do a form submission and see if you get an error emailed to you.

Formost, great plugin. Hmm, I’m running into the same issues… I also added my email for an error log after submission and it didn’t send anything. Could it be server related? This plugin works great on a different installation of wordpress on a different site.

This is the configuration I see on the site.

System Windows NT PHP-3 6.1 build 7601 (Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Server Edition Service Pack 1) i586
PHP Version 5.3.10
MySQL Version 5.5.14

What was the other site where it worked?

Just my own personal portfolio site, I’ve used this plugin before successfully on many sites, but this one I’m working with has weird hosting, so my guess is that’s what not allowing it to work?

oh, and here’s the config on that site that’s working:

System Linux boscustweb4906.eigbox.net 3.14.27 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 21:04:05 EST 2014 x86_64
PHP Version 5.3.13
MySQL Version 5.5.32-log

OK. I’m wondering if the issue is confined to Windows. I don’t have a windows setup to test. Would take me some time to set that up.

yeah, understandable. Hmm… furthermore though, I tried installing this plugin on another site all together yet again, and STILL can’t see any submissions in the plugin’s side like I do in the one that works. It definitly is sending the contact form 7’s form, so not sure what’s going on…. this server’s configuration is this:

System Linux 2.6.32-042stab093.4 #1 SMP Mon Aug 11 18:47:39 MSK 2014 x86_64
PHP Version 5.4.13
MySQL Version 5.5.30

I am actually experiencing the same problems on a HostGator site:

Linux gator4053.hostgator.com 3.12.35.1418868451 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 20:10:32 CST 2014 x86_64
PHP Version: 5.4.38
MySQL Version: 5.5.40-36.1

I put my email address into the error report field but did not receive anything. I also checked the PHP error log but see no entries. All plug-ins and WordPress are up-to-date.

Thanks for such a great plug-in!

I also didn’t get an error message when I submitted a form to myself. Unfortunately we don’t have access to the server for this client, so I’m not able to get more details on the site configuration.

Just as a quick follow-up, I added a simple wp_mail statement inside of CFDBIntegrationContactForm7.php’s saveFormData function above the try and never got an email sent. If I put a mail statement inside of CFDBIntegrationContactForm7.php’s registerHooks function, I do get an email. So it looks like the action should be set on saving Contact Form 7 but saveFormData is not getting called. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I found the problem in my case. There was a line in the theme functions file used before another hook into wpcf7_before_send_mail:

remove_all_filters (‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’);

This was stopping Contact Form 7 from doing its thing. I’m sorry for the noise I added to this thread!
