Entry Details
Overview
The Entry Detail page shows the complete submission for a single form entry - every field value and submission metadata. It is the best place to review a lead in full and move individual entries to trash.
You reach this page by clicking the View (eye) icon on any row in the Entries Form 7 list. The page is not shown in the sidebar menu; it opens when you view a specific entry.
Why Use Entry Details?
The detail view helps you:
See the full submission including file uploads and formatted field types
Review metadata such as IP address, browser, and submission page URL
Move individual entries to trash
Before You Begin
At least one entry must exist in your database
You must be logged in as an Administrator

The left panel displays all form field values.
Field types are displayed intelligently:

The right panel Details section shows:

You return to the list filtered to the same form.
Example
Tom receives a WPForms submission from a potential client. He opens the Entry Detail page and reviews the message, phone number, and attached PDF brochure.
He notes the submission URL to see which landing page the lead came from, then marks the entry as read from the entries list after following up by email.
Tips
💡 Click email addresses to open your mail client directly from the detail page.
💡 File uploads link to the actual file - click to download or view in a new tab.
💡 Check the submission URL to see which page the visitor was on when they submitted the form.
💡 Disable IP tracking in Settings if you do not need geographic or IP data for compliance reasons.
Notes
Trashed entries cannot be viewed. If you try to open a trashed entry directly, you are redirected to the entries list.
The detail page is read-only for form field values. You cannot edit what the visitor submitted.
Opening an entry marks it as Read to help you track which submissions you have reviewed.
Country lookup uses an external service. IP-to-country resolution queries ipapi.co when viewing the detail page.
