Flamingo

Description

Flamingo is a message storage plugin originally created for Contact Form 7, which doesn’t store submitted messages.

After activation of the plugin, you’ll find Flamingo on the WordPress admin screen menu. All messages through contact forms are listed there and are searchable. With Flamingo, you no longer need to worry about losing important messages due to mail server issues or misconfiguration in mail setup.

For more detailed information, please refer to the Contact Form 7 documentation page.

Privacy Notices

This plugin stores submission data collected through contact forms, which may include the submitters’ personal information, in the database on the server that hosts the website.

Installation

  1. Upload the entire flamingo folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

This plugin only works with contact forms using PHP mail. It doesn’t seem to work with an external SMTP mail server. I tested it out and there were no messages collected in DB. Also there’s no option to add more email addresses under Contact Book tab which shows only the users already registered in your WP site. So this feature is useless.

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.
