Hello, welcome to therichpost.com. In this post, I will tell you, Wordpress hook to Save contact form 7 data into custom db. WordPress is the best cms. WordPress hooks(add_action, add_filter) give us the power to edit or change the code without interruption into the files and this is the best thing about wordpress. Now I am going to tell you how the hooks work.
Here is the Wordpress hook to Save contact form 7 data into custom db and you also need to make custom database to custom data and you need to add this wordpress hook into your wordpress theme’s functions.php file:
1) Create Custom table
CREATE TABLE candidate(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(50)
);
2) Create contact form 7 fields
[text* title]
[submit "Send"]
3) Add Below code to function.php
function contactform7_before_send_mail( $form_to_DB ) {
//set your db details
$mydb = new wpdb('root','','cistom_db','localhost');
$form_to_DB = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
if ( $form_to_DB )
$formData = $form_to_DB->get_posted_data();
$title = $formData['title'];
$mydb->insert( 'candidate', array( 'title' =>$title ), array( '%s' ) );
}
remove_all_filters ('wpcf7_before_send_mail');
add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'contactform7_before_send_mail' );
There are so many hooks in wordpress and i will let you know all. Please do comment if you any query related to this post. Thank you. Therichpost.com

Hi, Can know how to apply this code to one specific contact form only.
It means. I have few forms from contact form 7. but I only need to save data from, 1 form only.
With below code:
$form_id = $contact_form->id();
if ($form_id == 2654 ) // 123 => Your Form ID.
{
}
Thank you very much!
function contactform7_before_send_mail( $form_to_DB ) {
//set your db details
$mydb = new wpdb(‘smartlaw_cfform’,’WU&BNgxXKm95′,’smartlaw_formtable’,’localhost’);
$form_id = $contact_form->id();
$form_to_DB = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
if ($form_id == 7202 ) // 123 => Your Form ID
{
if ( $form_to_DB ) {
$formData = $form_to_DB->get_posted_data();
$form_name = $formData[‘your-name’];
$User_email = $formData[‘your-email’];
$User_subject = $formData[‘your-subject’];
$your_message = $formData[‘your-message’];
$mydb->insert( ‘dbtest’, array( ‘your-name’ =>$form_name, ‘your-email’ =>$User_email,’your-subject’ =>$User_subject, ‘your-message’ =>$your_message ), array( ‘%s’ ) );
}
}
remove_all_filters (‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’);
add_action( ‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘contactform7_before_send_mail’ );
}
Can I know, How this code needs to be changed? when I add this code to function.php., it shows – There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.
