About FormMemory
From the official readme · v0.1.0Description
Contact forms will remember user input. When the user types some input into a form, it’ll be saved automatically. When the user opens the same page again, the previous input will be pre-filled in the form. Returning clients and registrees won’t have to type again. The data is stored locally in the user’s browser and it never leaves their device.
What data is remembered and recalled:
- Text inputs – all kinds, incl. telephone numbers, e-mail addresses
- Checkbox states
- Radio button states
- Dropdown selects’ states
Configuration options:
- Automatic data privacy infobox.
- Include/exclude individual fields by their tag name,
- Include/exclude pages by URL,
- Temporary disable,
- Clear settings from database.
So far tested with:
- Contact Form 7
- WPForms*
*In WPForms, only the standard style dropdown is supported.
More coming soon. Other plugins are likely to work, too.
This plugin was just released, and I’d like to enhance it. Let me know about any ideas or bugs. If you have a problem or a request, open a new topic here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/formmemory/
Love.
