Show another column

To make things simple, what you will need to do is go into the following folder directory: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-cfdb7/inc/admin-subpage.php

In this file, look for line 147 with the following code:

if ( sizeof($columns) > 4) break;

Change the default “4” to the number of columns you wish to display. However, note that increasing this number to anything larger than 8 – 10 could make the result a clutter mess on the admin side. This also depends on what that field is.

Can I rearrange the column displayed?
– Yes….well kind of. If displaying more than 8 isn’t resulting in displaying the column you want, you will have to re arrange the display structure in Contact Form 7’s text field in order to make it display.

I will update this if I find another method to this.

Well….As you may have guessed it I figured out how to add a new column and “customize” it. It’s quite simple…

In the same directory: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-cfdb7/inc/admin-subpage.php.You will be working to make the following changes.

Starting on line: 149 locate the following code
$columns['form-date'] = 'Date Submitted';

Right above this line you will be adding your custom fields that you created in Contact Form 7. So for example:

 }
   $columns['your-message'] = 'Message';
   $columns['form-date'] = 'Date Submitted';
}

You can change the column title to what every you want $columns['your-message'] = 'Column Title';. From here you can re arrange the columns display order.

Hope this helps!

NOTE: in order for this to work properly the field name $columns[‘fieldname’] MUST match that of your Contact Form 7.

RECOMMENDATION: If you plan on doing this I would recommend setting the code in my previous posting to 2 and then call/add the columns in the order you wish to display them. The higher the number the more columns will display resulting in duplicates.
