Flamingo
Version: 2.6
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
- Upload the entire
flamingo
folder to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Reviews
Only works with PHP sendmail, not external SMTP
By skylabb on January 5, 2025
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.
Great! (But has a minor bug)
By allamehw on November 8, 2024
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!
Just what i needed

Really good for storing messages
Performance
By sionline on June 2, 2023
Sending contact forms takes usually 3s.
With Flamingo active and 30k records in db the time is much greater, repeatable 15s which is unacceptable.
Ужасный плагин!

Ни какого нормального функционала, все неудобно и примитивно! Никогда и никому не советую его использовать, есть нормальные варианты. Одна ценность - связь с Akismet.
einfach und gut!
