This is more of a question about the CFDB plugin on this help page: https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=904

Following that page, you copy the PHP code and paste it as a new code element in Shortcodes, Actions and Filters plugin. You do NOT have the shortcode box checked. You are adding filter functions, not a new shortcode.

You can ignore “Execute only for”. If you look at its drop-down, it list all the roles in your WP system. So that code would only be executed for users with the role selected there.

If you uninstall CFDB, that data is NOT lost. It still sits in the database. To install the new version, uninstall the old one, then re-install the new one. You don’t loose anything.

The only exception: there is an option in the CFDB Options page under System tab to make the data delete on uninstall. That is off by default. That is intended for a case where you don’t want to use the plugin anymore and want it to cleanup the database when it uninstalls.

Follow instructions here: https://cfdbplugin.com/

In the CFDB Options page, you can exclude fields from being saved.

FYI: you can get setup to get the plugin from GitHub.com. See top post on https://cfdbplugin.com/

I’ll accept pull requests on GitHub

Although the plugin is not listed on WP.org it can be found on GitHub. But you will need to do a couple things to make sure you can always update to the latest version.
* Download the lates release from GitHub https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/releases
* Uninstall the one you have
* Install the new version plugin via your WP plugins page by uploading the downloaded file
* Similarly install a plugin that will track updates from GitHub: https://github.com/afragen/github-updater/releases
When the plugin is updated, you will see a notice in the plugins page like normal, except it will be updated from GitHub.

The plugin is available on GitHub https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/releases/

Submitted Login is only captured if the user is logged in when submitting the form.

The data is stored in table wp_cf7dbplugin_submits in standard installations. But the “wp_” part can be different depending on your installation’s database prefix.

I think this is a WP configuration issue.

Unfortunately there is no hook into the edit action to tack on an additional action.

I’m not sure. But check your WP Dashboard -> Settings -> General -> WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) and ensure they have the “s” in “https”.

I’m not aware of any such thing. If CF7 had a hook that could decide whether or not to display a form, then you could add code like the Preventing Duplicates example, but I’m not aware of such a thing.

If you are Javascript savvy, then you could make an AJAX all to a CFDB JSON Export URL to get submissions from that users and if found, then have the Javascript hide the DIV that the form appears in or redirect to a different page.

I haven’t seen that issue. I don’t know if upgrading will help you but I don’t think it can hurt. There is no specific fix for such an issue.

I don’t see any problem there.

Adding debug="true" to the shortcode will print out some information about how the shortcode is parsing the filter. That may or may not be helpful.

If the form submissions have a space somewhere, you have to account for this. Is the value exactly “Yes!” or might it be “Yes! ” or ” Yes!” or “Yes !”?

You might also try just this to see if you can get it to work:
[cfdb-table form="Wedding Questionnaire" filter="attending=Yes!"]
