Savelo Form Autosave

Апісанне

Savelo Form Autosave silently saves everything visitors type in your forms — text, email, number, textarea, select, checkbox, radio — and brings it back if they navigate away and return, close the tab by accident, or their browser crashes.

All data is stored exclusively in the visitor’s own browser (localStorage). Nothing is ever sent to your server. Zero database queries on the front end.

Features

• Universal form support — works with any HTML <form> element
• Smart exclusion — automatically skips login, registration, password reset, and WooCommerce checkout forms
• Security-first — never saves password fields; respects autocomplete="off"
• Contact Form 7 — saved draft is cleared automatically after a successful AJAX submission
• Configurable expiry — 1 to 90 days; expired drafts are cleaned up silently
• Restore notification — optional, auto-dismissing, fully customisable message
• Clear on submit — optionally delete the draft when the form is submitted
• Custom exclusions — exclude any form by CSS selector, by adding the savelo-exclude class, or the data-savelo-exclude attribute
• Zero front-end dependencies — vanilla ES5 JavaScript, no jQuery required
• Assets on demand — scripts and styles are never loaded in wp-admin
• Translation ready — .pot file included
• Clean uninstall — all plugin data removed when you delete the plugin

Privacy

All form data is stored in the visitor’s own browser via the localStorage API. No data is transmitted to your server or any third party. Compatible with GDPR-aware workflows. Users can clear their localStorage at any time via their browser settings.

How to exclude a form

1. Add data-savelo-exclude attribute directly to the <form> tag, or
2. Add the CSS class savelo-exclude to the <form> tag, or
3. Enter a CSS selector in Settings → Form Autosave → Exclude Forms
