I have the same requirement and would be interested to learn if it is possible (and if so, how).
Me too!
And another question, if there an option to show the photo immidiatlly in the site?
Me too! I would like the file upload option to actually work aswell.
3 months this questions was asked and no response from the developers….
I might have to rate this plugin as poor…
Good!
So is there any developer that knows how to solv this issue?
I might have to rate this plugin as poor..
@pantsman28 – that would entirely inappropriate IMHO. Many others reading such ratings see them as a sign of inexperience.
i have the same requirement for my client, i have googled about this FIND this code that works for me.

@buzztone you reply but offer no solution. What a waste of everyones time…
If we were all developers then we wouldn’t need assistance on a plugin and certainly wouldn’t be asking for advice or help on the support forum.
I have rated the plugin as 1 star poor, purely for the fact there doesn’t seem to be any support and so many unresolved questions on this forum.
What is the point of including a function in the plugin that was not properly tested and/or willing to support?
@pantsman28 The plugin works exactly as described. Let’s put it this way. You buy a car… you don’t bring it back to the dealer and ask why it doesn’t fly? It was never meant to fly and they don’t have to make it fly. This plugin works entirely as described and with knowledge does even more. You can rate it as one star if that makes you feel better but it’s certainly not going to affect the rank of such a valuable FREE plugin.
With that said. This is what you’re looking for. https://hughlashbrooke.com/2014/03/20/wordpress-upload-user-submitted-files-frontend/
If that doesn’t help you may need to hire a developer to assist with your specific needs.
8 months for a reply. not even from the developers….. Got to love the support and well worth the 1 star. 4 star for the product not taking into account what it can’t do.
I have been using CF7 for sometime but I know it limitations and work around them. Thanks @edward for an alternative. I will look into it.
As for buying a car that doesn’t fly. I was buying a car that came with cup holders but yet to find a cup to fit it! If it could fly then it would have been a bonus. SO far the dealer hasn’t come back to me with helping me find the cup which fits.
Problem is you didn’t buy Contact Form 7. It’s free and thus he does not *have* to provide any support at all. In fact the support forums here by and large are not intended for the author / developer to maintain they are here for the community to help each other. If a developer giving away his time does reply here I’m extremely grateful. Nothing in the documentation states saving images to the media library. This is a contact form. It sends an email. No one ever implied it would save an upload to the media library. There are most certainly other plugins that do that exact thing. Such as this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-advanced-file-uploader/
I’ll never understand why people expect more when they already got something for free.
Nothing personal… best of luck I hope you get your form working as you like it to.
