  • Works perfectly! But read my warning

    The original manual method of adding a referring page to Contact Form 7 (that's available all over the Internet) had been working fine, until I added a caching plugin to my site. Then it would not work, showing the same last visited page over and over. This plugin solved that neatly and works perfectly with the caching plugin enabled. Great work! Update: The latest WordPress versions automatically add rel="noreferrer" if you're using a target="_self" or target="_blank" attribute, resulting in no referring page returned in the email. This would only affect you if the referring page is in a subdomain of the site and the contact page is on the main site or vice versa. The solution is to not include either one of these attributes (no tag is the same as target="_self").
