Hỏi đáp
-
How does the save and continue feature work?
-
When users fill out a form, their progress is automatically saved. They receive a unique resume link to continue later. The form data is securely stored and automatically restored when they return.
-
Where is the form data stored?
-
Form data is stored in your WordPress database using the options table with unique tokens. A backup copy is also saved in the user’s browser localStorage for additional reliability.
-
Is the plugin secure?
-
Yes! Version 1.2.0 includes comprehensive security measures: SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and secure token validation. All data is properly sanitized and validated.
-
How long are drafts kept?
-
You can configure the retention period in Settings Dwlscf Save & Continue. Default is 30 days. Expired drafts are automatically cleaned up daily, or you can run manual cleanup.
-
Does it work with all Contact Form 7 field types?
-
Yes, it supports text fields, textareas, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and multi-select fields. File uploads and password fields are excluded for security.

Will it slow down my website?
-
No, the plugin is lightweight and only loads on pages with Contact Form 7 forms. It uses debounced saving to minimize server requests.

[dwlscf-save-link-email]shortcode to enable this feature. It includes rate limiting to prevent abuse. -
