Ursprünglich wurde es erstellt für [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) (das die übertragenen Nachrichten nicht speichert). After activation of the plugin, you’ll find **Flamingo** on the WordPress admin screen menu. All messages through contact forms are listed there and are searchable. With Flamingo, you no longer need to worry about losing important messages due to mail server issues or misconfiguration in mail setup. Für detailliertere Informationen besuchen Sie bitte die [Dokumentations-Seite für Contact Form 7](https://contactform7.com/save-submitted-messages-with-flamingo/). #### Datenschutzhinweise Dieses Plugin speichert die Daten, die durch Contact Form 7 abgefragt und übertragen wurden (unter Umständen inklusive persönlicher Daten des Absenders), in der Datenbank auf dem Webserver des Hosters. ## Installation 1. Laden Sie den kompletten Ordner `flamingo` in das Verzeichnis `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Aktivieren Sie das Plugin im «Plugins»-Menu in WordPress. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/819a6183ab003a4eb1452c7cc36a53b7b4b21440e64633a0d51fd26b65204468? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It does its job](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-its-job-21/)󠁿 [WPRavix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpravix/) 26.

Januar 2025 5 replies This plugin only works with contact forms using PHP mail. It doesn’t seem to work with an external SMTP mail server. I tested it out and there were no messages collected in DB. Also there’s no option to add more email addresses under Contact Book tab which shows only the users already registered in your WP site. So this feature is useless. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a0b24aa6e6580160bf6190cdad98fc1049647f85d230e5585f88e19e5efe47f3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!

November 2024 This is a great tool, especially with its integration into the Contact Form 7 plugin. However, there’s a minor bug when exporting non-Latin characters, such as Persian. It seems the encoding is set to Western by default. Switching to UTF-8 encoding should resolve the issue. Thanks! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/abdb95258d9ed519a15a979174687e76f1ae54aa436f5e319c3730fe5ec420d1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just what i needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-needed-1296/)󠁿 [germanfriend](https://profiles.wordpress.org/germanfriend/) 6.
