Contact Form Backup plugin
I started using the Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin on several sites but I wasn’t about to key in all the same form data into the WordPress sites. So I decided to create this plugin to be able to backup and restore the data across several blogs that I have.
It’s basically a WordPress plugin that allows the user to backup the forms data and download it to a local file. You can later upload and restore the file on the same WordPress blog or another site that uses the same Contact Form 7 plugin.
Planned Features
If a lot of people will find it useful, I’m thinking of adding some features like selective backup and restore.
Installing the Contact Form 7 Backup and Restore plugin
Since this plugin is not yet available at WordPress.org, you will have to download it from the link below. Unzip it into your WordPress plugins directory and activate it from the WordPress plugins administration page when you login to your blog.
That’s it, you can start using the plugin.

Thanks for this plugin, I’m about to try it. I cloned a WP site, files and Database to another site. Thinking that all would be the same in the new cloned site… for some reason the settings and forms for my contactform7 plugin did not and will not come over. Not sure why, I thought if I cloned the DB and files it would be identical. Hopefully your plugin helps me get past this for now.
Thanks again.
Quick question. How come the plugin control panel displays this info next to the backup plugin?
“Manage, filter, resize images in a WordPress blog” –
Why would it have anything to do with images?
Also, the link to a different site than the one I got this from made me a little nervous, I had to find out that you are in fact gerry.ws as well. Some people may find this strange, release it on either site but why not just link to it instead of another website? so people don’t get confused.
Hi Oscar, I hope you find the plugin useful. About the description — I cloned the readme from one of my other plugins and forgot to change it.
Thanks for the input. I have actually changed it but I haven’t updated the version here at Code Stuff, I was thinking I’d like to take a look at the new version of Contact Form 7 before updating.
Regarding the gerry.ws web site, it’s actually another site of mine. I decided to put all my “Code Stuff” things on this site and keep on gerry.ws my personal stuff. You have a point there regarding a possible confusion. The reason for the different link is that at the WordPress.org site, there’s a link that says “Author Homepage” so I put gerry.ws and there’s a separate “Plugin Homepage” link so I placed the Code Stuff page.
If you want to get updated on just WordPress and blogging and code stuff, you can just subscribe to Code Stuff. If you’d like to read about some of the other things that I find interesting like Ubuntu and the Philippines, you can also subscribe to the Gerry blog.
Hope it clears things up and if you have some more clarifications, just post them and I’ll try to respond asap.
@saransh what version of contact form 7 are you using?
hi.
i have the same problem as saransh, WP 2.8.4 and it doesnt work, tells me that there is no cf7-install…
the cf7-version is 2.0.2.
i searched for a backup-tool cause there is v2.0.5 available now…
…now i have updated it without backup and even with v2.0.5 this plugin won’t work??! O_o
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
Same problem here .. wp 3.0.5 contact form 7 v 2.4.3 .
Message :
There is NO VALID WordPress Contact Form 7 setup found on your blog. You have to ensure that you have the plugin installed and the config data has been created in your WordPress database.
Please help with this …
