Featured image is not coming..
Thank you so much really helped me. Do you know if there's a way of reordering the entries so I can move important ones to the top of the table that displays the entries?
@richardbloom6702 Thanks for your comment! We offer various techniques for sorting your entries on this page: barn2.com/kb/posts-table-sort-options/. If you want more control over which items appear at the top of the list, I'd suggest considering sorting your entries using a custom field (See: barn2.com/kb/posts-table-sort-options/#can-i-sort-the-table-by-number). I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, you can also visit us at our support center (See: barn2.com/support-center/).
Thanks for the great tutorial, I have used this plugin previously and it works! Question is it a way to export the contact form and import to another website. Or is the best way to mirror manually side by side with site your implementing with the contact form?
Hi, @itmall8325. Thanks for getting in touch. I'm glad to hear Contact Form 7 works well for you. For the best advice about exporting an existing contact form from one website to another, I suggest you contact Contact Form 7 support at wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/ or contactform7.com/support/ as they can assist you best. I hope this makes sense and helps point you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards - Edge
Hi Mr Barn, Once the Form is filled out and Submit , Is it possible to display the informations provided in the form on the home Page of the Website like a Classified ads website ? If it is possible, do I need a Html Code or a Plugin ? Thanks for your help.
Hi Haus. Yes. You can display the collected information anywhere in your website using the Post Table Pro plugin - barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/posts-table-pro/ as you can simply insert its shortcode to any page. Should you have further questions, please reach us directly via our Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! - Keza
great video. althought i tried installing contact form 7, but 'Form to Post' tab is not available in mine..
Hi, @paulinezipagan2136. Thanks for your comment, and sorry to hear you're having difficulty with what sounds to be an option in Contact Form 7. I suggest you create a topic in the plugin's Support Forum at wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/ where they can assist you best. -Edge
Just add the plugin "Post My CF7 Form" . "Et voilà..." ;)
Is it possible to have this form as a pop up on a webpage? Or it has to be embedded into a page?
Hi, @GM-nh9le. Yes, it's definitely possible. However, you may need to install a third-party plugin specifically designed to create pop-ups, which would simplify the process for you. You can easily find such plugins by searching on Google using the keyword "popup shortcode plugin," and it should provide you with a list of suggested plugins for displaying pop-ups. I hope this helps!

Is it possible to display this in a chart?
Hi, @nanafocus. Thanks for asking. Yes, you can display Contact Form 7 front-end form submissions in a chart or table by adding the use of our Posts Table Pro plugin. For details, please see: barn2.com/blog/display-contact-form-7-entries/ . I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

This shows how to collect and display "user submitted data" not "user data". "user data" is a defined term.
Hi, Oliver. Thanks for pointing out the difference! I'm relaying this to our team for review. Let me know if there's anything else that we may assist you with. -Edge
Featured image is not coming in custom post type. That mapping not works for me
Hi, thank you for the comment. Please ensure that you have chosen the correct options are chosen when you map the values.
If you are using the plugin Easy Posts Types and Fields, please create a support forum thread here (wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-post-types-fields/) so that the issue can be addressed on the correct channel.
Otherwise, I recommend contacting Contact Form 7 and/or your custom field/post plugin for best assistance on this issue.
