Title: Does it work on localhost ? Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Does it work on localhost ? * Resolved [Stagger Lee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stagger-lee/) * (@stagger-lee) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/) * It doesnt recognize my 2 forms. So it can be it demands fully sent message, not CF7 error when you dont have mail server on localhost configured. * All other 3 plugins I have installed and testing are receiving CF7 messages. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/save-contact-form-7/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/save-contact-form-7/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [nimblechapps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nimblechapps/) * (@nimblechapps) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543747) * Hi, * Thank you very much for trying our plugin. * If your forms were created before the installation of Save Contact Form 7, it might have been creating the problem. * Can you please let me know the version of WordPress and CF7? * Thread Starter [Stagger Lee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stagger-lee/) * (@stagger-lee) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543749) * All is latest and updated. * Plugin Author [nimblechapps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nimblechapps/) * (@nimblechapps) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543817) * It shall definitely work then. * Please let me know if you are seeing any error, on the page or on console * Plugin Author [nimblechapps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nimblechapps/) * (@nimblechapps) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543839) * Can you please send me more details so I can look into this. * Thread Starter [Stagger Lee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stagger-lee/) * (@stagger-lee) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543840) * Will test it later and come back with results. Have not tried to make form after plugin installation yet. * Thing is I moved to Pods made CF7. Have absolut control over everything by it.: [https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/3627#issuecomment-232174994](https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/3627#issuecomment-232174994) so I forgot your plugin and this problem. * You and other few developers making plugins like this (even save to database plugin from CF7 developer self) shold mail each other or meet on Skype to agree about new CF7 shortode attribute, just for names of fields. As it is now it is not acceptable, and it was main reason I spent time to make it work with Pods. * You all are taking just shortcode names of fields and it looks stupid: text-345 for “Name”, textarea-333 for “Message”, etc.. I know you cannot do better before developer of CF7 gives you new shortcode attribute for names in your plugins. Something like this: save-database=”Phone”. * Thread Starter [Stagger Lee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stagger-lee/) * (@stagger-lee) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543841) * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-new-shortcode-attribute?replies=2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-new-shortcode-attribute?replies=2) * Here is simple JS trick to translate field names, for people who dont want to lose time with Pods: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translate-field-labels?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translate-field-labels?replies=1) * Plugin Author [nimblechapps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nimblechapps/) * (@nimblechapps) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-work-on-localhost/#post-7543842) * Hey Stagger, * Thank you for getting back. I really appreciate it. * Regarding the field names, we are already using the actual name and not textarea- 333 etc.. * Please see the screenshot so you can get an idea.
