I created a new contact form and customers will need to upload a file. However, I can’t figure out where then to access the file they uploaded. I downloaded the flamingo plugin and I can see that a file was uploaded but its just a number, no link to access the file.
Also, how do I make certain fields optional to fill out?
I still don’t see the attachment when I get the mail. It is a non-clickable jpeg and there is nothing attached to the mail. For reference, this is what’s in the form:
School/Organization Logo or Mascot (include ONLY if you would like this included in your print)
I have added: [file your-file filetypes:pdf|txt limit:2mb] in the Form tab and [your-file] in the Mail Tab. My test attachment is on 65km and goes through to wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads, but my client doesn’t see it in his email client. Am I missing something?
I was missing something, something that isn’t mentioned in the instructions, typically. I found this video which clears things up. https://tinyurl.com/42mz4hhy
I can’t find the video now, however, I ended up inserting the code into the Form tab like this: [file file-550 file-attachments filetypes:pdf|doc|docx limit:2mb] (without the slash and asterisk), then I put this Upload CV: [file-550] into the Mail tab, and finally (this was missing!) further down the Mail page, in the field called File Attachments (which is probably hidden, so scroll down, you add the short code again: [file-550].
Also, something I didn’t notice, even though I looked for it, there is a File button on the Form menu tab, click that to start inserting the file upload function. Again, this isn’t mentioned in the Contact Form 7 ‘How To’ page.
