   I recently downloaded the contact form 7 plugin and installed it. I really like this form but the upload feature does not seem to work. I have tried it several times with different email addresses.

   Is there another plugin I need for this to work? Has anyone else had this happen?

   Thanks,
   Jon

   Contact Form 7 doesn't have an upload feature as far as I know.

   Apparently it does now. I go into Tools > Contact Form 7, then over in the right table, where it says generate tag, click the drop down and scroll down to "file upload." When I add it, it shows up on the form. The problem is that when I attach something and submit, the email arrives without the attachment.

   I have written a brief instruction here:

   Probably you need to add some tags in the Mail / File attachments field.

   Well that would explain it - I don't use the generate tags option. I prefer to roll my own form tags.

   Have a look at:

   Thanks guys! Problem solved. I wasn't putting the [your-file] in the mail attachments section.

   Thanks again.

   Hi.
   I am doing everything like in the tut. I want to upload 3 files with the form.
   When i have 3 small ones it works (i recieve email with 3 fotos). when pictures(files) get to 2MB the email isn't sent (arrows keep on spinning), but the files appear in the wpcf7_upload folder. filesize-limit is set to [limit:10mb].
   Any idea what the problem is?
   Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

    nortib, it means that the files are too big for your mail server.
