Prevent Flamingo from saving user agent and IP address

You can use the wpcf7_flamingo_inbound_message_parameters filter hook to do so. The user agent and remote IP address are in the meta property.

Hello, I am also looking to prevent remote ip from being stored, thank you for the response above but can you tell me please where do I find the ‘wpcf7_flamingo_inbound_message_parameters’ ? And what should I do once I have found it?
Thanks for any help.

Hey @teajunky

i run into the same issue. You need to append the filter in the solution above in code.

Add this code snippet to the “functions.php” file of your theme located in “./wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME”:

// define the wpcf7_flamingo_inbound_message_parameters callback 
function custom_wpcf7_flamingo_inbound_message_parameters( $args ){
    $args['meta']['remote_ip'] = '';
    $args['meta']['user_agent'] = '';
    return $args;
} 

//add the action 
add_filter('wpcf7_flamingo_inbound_message_parameters', 'custom_wpcf7_flamingo_inbound_message_parameters', 10, 1);

Be aware that your “functions.php” file will reset with every update of your theme if you’re not using a child theme.

Thanks very much @r81d3r, I’ve used a child theme and that works perfectly!
