Usage

cf7_debug_info($cf7_instance)

Parameters

$cf7_instance
(Required) (Object) An instance of the CF7 form submission

Examples

Get an array of debug info

PHP
$nebula_debug_info = nebula()->cf7_debug_info(WPCF7_Submission::get_instance());

Add custom data to the debug information

PHP
add_filter('nebula_cf7_debug_info', function($debug_info){
    //Add custom data to the debug info
    if ( get_option('tier_name') ){
        $debug_info['tier'] = get_option('tier_name'); //Add an example item
    }
    
    return $debug_info; //Always return in filters!
});

Remove data from the debug information

PHP
add_filter('nebula_cf7_debug_info', function($debug_info){
    unset($debug_info['nebula_anonymized_ip']); //Remove this item
    return $debug_info; //Always return in filters!
});

Additional Notes

This debug info is sent to the recipient of the form if the shortcode [debuginfo] appears in the message of the Contact Form 7 form settings.

This debug info is stored in WordPress within the Nebula CF7 Submissions custom post type (which appears within the “Contact” admin menu item). It may appear in other form storage systems like the Advanced CF7 DB plugin, but mileage may vary.
