      Does this plugin require Contact Form 7?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. This plugin is specifically built for Contact Form 7 and requires it to be installed and active.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How does the email verification work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      When a user submits a form, the plugin validates the email, checks it against stored submissions, and prevents the submission if the email was used before.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will the plugin delete stored emails on uninstall?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. If the user uninstalls the plugin (not just deactivates), the plugin removes its custom database table and options.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
