## Beschreibung

**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**

## Installation

 1. Upload the `savelo-form-autosave` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install 
    via **Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Go to **Settings  Form Autosave** to adjust options (the defaults work for most
    sites).

## FAQ

### Does this plugin store form data on my server?

No. All data is kept exclusively in the visitor’s browser using the Web Storage (
localStorage) API.

### Which form plugins are supported?

Any standard HTML form works out of the box. Contact Form 7 has enhanced support:
the saved draft is automatically cleared after a successful AJAX submission via 
the `wpcf7mailsent` event.

### Can I exclude specific forms?

Yes — three ways: add `data-savelo-exclude` or the `savelo-exclude` CSS class directly
to the `<form>` element, or enter CSS selectors in the settings page.

### Does this work with WooCommerce?

The WooCommerce checkout form is excluded by default. Other WooCommerce forms (e.
g. account registration) are saved normally — you can exclude them individually 
if needed.

### Is this GDPR compliant?

The plugin stores data only in the visitor’s own browser. No data leaves their device.
Users can clear it at any time via browser settings. You may still want to mention
localStorage usage in your privacy policy.
