详情介绍:
- Catches real abandonment, not noise — a visitor has to actually type something recognizable as input before a leave or a long idle period counts as an abandoned attempt; accidental page loads and bot traffic don't pollute the data.
- Per-form breakdown — a dedicated "Abandoned Forms" screen under Contact Form 7's own menu lists every tracked form with its totals (last 7 days, last 30 days, all time), drilling down into the actual field values captured for that form.
- Encrypted at rest — captured field values are stored AES-256-GCM encrypted in their own database table, not in plain text.
- Privacy-aware — integrates with WordPress's built-in Personal Data Export/Erase tools, so a GDPR request against a matching email address covers abandoned-form data too. A configurable retention period (default 60 days) deletes old events automatically every day.
- Your data stays on your site — the free version makes no outgoing requests of its own; everything is stored locally and shown only to users with the right capability.

rowanweb-abandoned-forms-for-contact-form-7folder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP via Plugins → Add New → Upload. - Activate the plugin.

常见问题:
Does this work without Contact Form 7?
No — the plugin hooks directly into Contact Form 7's own forms and does nothing without it active (declared as a dependency, so WordPress will flag it if CF7 isn't active).
What counts as "abandoned"?
A visitor who has typed something recognizable as real input into a form's fields, then either leaves the page, closes the tab, or goes idle for a while without submitting. Loading a form and leaving immediately, without typing anything, isn't recorded.
Is the data safe?
Captured field values are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) in their own database table, decrypted only when an authorized admin views them. A contact is pseudonymized internally through a hashed, site-specific identifier rather than stored as a plain lookup key.
Does this send any of my data anywhere?
No. The free version makes no outgoing connections of its own — everything is stored in your own database and shown only inside your own admin area. The only exception is listed under "External services" below, and it's off until you opt in.
How long is the data kept?
60 days by default, deleted automatically every day; configurable from 1 day up to 10 years on the Settings tab. Lower it if you only need the data for a quick follow-up; raise it if you want a longer history.
