I want to store all the user entered information into the MySQL database. In this case, you can use the plugin called Flamingo, which stores all of your messages submitted through Contact Form 7. It’s actually made by the same plugin author.

Do not mess with the mysql db. There is a lot more going on there than just the users table. Your best bet is the “SHOW GRANTS FOR” command. I have a lot of CLI maintenance aliases and functions in my .bashrc (actually my .bash_aliases that I source in my .bashrc). This function: mygrants() { … Read more

Check the respective maintainers’ support streams (either the relevant plugin/theme pages on wordpress.org or the … Read more

The only public property is wpdb->is_mysql which is just hardcoded for true and meant for detection of non–native database drop–ins.

I’d suggest using $wpdb->insert(), which will escape the values for you: $wpdb->insert( $wpdb->prefix . ‘w2bw2c_venue’, array( ‘market_id’ => 7, ‘venue_name’ => get_the_title( $id ), ), array( ‘%d’, ‘%s’, ) ); I’ve just used the name field you were having trouble with in my … Read more
