Foxry Vault

FAQ.KG

Does this plugin require Contact Form 7?

Yes. Contact Form 7 6.0 or newer must be installed and active. Foxry Vault hooks into the wpcf7_before_send_mail action to capture each submission.

Where is form data stored?

In a dedicated custom database table (wp_foxry_vault_entries) with indexes on form_id, submitted_at, and is_read for fast queries. Submission fields are stored as JSON with full Unicode support, so Japanese, emoji, and special characters are preserved exactly.

Can I edit a submission after it’s been received?

Yes — this is one of the main reasons Foxry Vault exists. Open any entry and click “Edit” to fix typos, redact personal information, or correct fields. Both single-line and multi-line fields are supported, and checkbox/array values can be edited as comma-separated lists.

How does the auto-delete feature work?

Go to Foxry Vault → Settings and enable auto-delete. Choose a retention period (30, 60, 90, 180, or 365 days). A daily WP-Cron job will then permanently delete entries older than the configured age. This is useful for GDPR / personal data retention compliance.

Can I disable IP address logging?

Yes. In Settings → Privacy, uncheck “Save IP address”. New submissions will not record the visitor’s IP. Existing entries are not retroactively modified.

Will I lose data if I deactivate the plugin?

No. Deactivation only stops capturing new submissions and unschedules the cleanup cron. Your existing data, settings, and database table are preserved. Data is only removed when you fully uninstall (delete) the plugin from the Plugins screen.

Are spam submissions saved?

No. If Contact Form 7 (or an integration like reCAPTCHA / Akismet) marks a submission as spam, Foxry Vault skips saving it.

Does it work with multisite?

Yes, on a per-site basis. Each site has its own wp_foxry_vault_entries table.

How do I export submissions?

On the entries list, click Export CSV in the toolbar. The CSV is UTF-8 with BOM, so it opens cleanly in Excel — including Japanese text. The current form filter and search query are respected.

Is it compatible with Flamingo or CFDB7?

Yes, they can run side-by-side. Foxry Vault uses its own table and doesn’t touch theirs. We recommend picking one as your primary tool to avoid duplicate UI.
