Right out of the box, CF7 Apps includes:

✅ Honeypot App
✅ hCaptcha App
✅ Database Entries App
✅ Redirection App
💡 Suggest a Feature

And that’s just the beginning.

🌟 Save and Manage CF7 Form Submissions
The Entries Database App stores all Contact Form 7 submissions directly to your WordPress database. Easily filter entries by form or date, view individual CF7 submissions, and export or delete them when needed. This ensures you never lose important leads or messages, even if emails fail to deliver.

🌟 Add a Honeypot Field to Prevent Spam

Our Honeypot Contact Form 7 extension creates a hidden field inside your Contact Form 7 forms. Real users never see it, but bots do—and that’s how the bots fall for the trap. It blocks automated spam before it even hits your inbox.

🌟 Add hCaptcha to Contact Form 7

Protect your forms from spam bots using hCaptcha, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google reCAPTCHA. This extension integrates directly with CF7 and works instantly after setup. No coding is required, and no extra plugins are needed. Just set up your site keys and you’re done.

NOTE:
The best thing is that both features work independently. You can run them alone or together based on your site’s needs.

Real Use Cases for CF7 Apps

With the CF7 Apps, you can do the following:
✔️ Trap bots using a honeypot field without affecting users
✔️ Add hCaptcha to Contact Form 7 for privacy-first anti-spam
✔️ Store and manage Contact Form 7 entries directly in WordPress

Altering the Honeypot Output HTML [ADVANCED]

While the basic settings should keep most people happy, we’ve added several filters for you to further customize the honeypot field. The three filters available are:

wpcf7_honeypot_accessibility_message – Adjusts the default text for the (hidden) accessibility message (can now be done on the settings page).
wpcf7_honeypot_container_css – Adjusts the CSS that is applied to the honeypot container to keep it hidden from view.
wpcf7_honeypot_html_output – Adjusts the entire HTML output of the honeypot element.

For examples of the above, please see this recipe Gist.

This used to be a nice and simple plugin. Now it’s rebranded to CF7 apps with banners, notifications, additional menu items, and pushing other plugins (which I don’t need or want).

jimk1416 4 lapkričio, 2025

Great support and follow up. Worked through an issue until it was resolved in a timely manner. Great plugin, highly recommend.

Abdullah Ramzan 30 spalio, 2025

If you’re using Contact Form 7, you need this plugin. It quietly stops spam entries without any extra setup — works perfectly and saves tons of time.

Charles 21 spalio, 2025

Great, fast support from these guys when I mentioned a bug. I use the honeypot and the timecheck to help reduce botspam. Plus now it has form entries, I can delete a separate plugin I was using for that. I don’t use hCaptcha (using Turnstile instead), so can’t comment on that area. I see a lot of people saying they still get spam, but I’d expect that if they are only using this plugin. This plugin is just one part of the puzzle. I get zero spam from my forms because I use the following.

Once a simple, excellent plugin. Now bloated and overcomplicated. Very sad.

Roberto Vazquez 3 rugsėjo, 2025 1 reply

Long time user of the plugin in multiple websites now in search for an alternative. The takeover has been rough and now i have another plugin claiming space in the menu. I guess everything was according to the rules but still feels wrong.
