    I’m having problems with my website becoming unresponsive because of huge files being created in .cagefs/tmp. It seems to be related to CF7 because if I deactivate it, the problem doesn’t occur, and more specifically, if I change the Mail To field to an address not on the website’s domain, immediately the problem occurs, without anything being sent from the form. I should be possible to do that shouldn’t it? Can anyone suggest why it might be happening?

    Thanks

    Update: it’s not just editing the Mail To field that causes it. I was trying to set up reCaptcha and it happened again. It’s just that Mail To was the only thing I was changing earlier.

    Did you ever figure out what was going on or how to prevent? I am going through this issue now. I have several 9-11 GB size files in my .cagefs/tmp/ folder with file names like phpxxxx. I downloaded one and after two hours couldn’t open it with any program. I suspect they are useless but I’m nervous to delete.

    I wasn’t able to resolve it, other than deactivating Contact Form after each time I changed a setting in it, and deleting the huge file.

    @beachmat, thanks for the reply. Can you please explain what you mean by deactivating Contact Form after you change a setting? If you deactivate then why not just delete the plugin? I am using WPForms plugin, FTR.

    Well, I’m using CF7, and I found that deactivating the plugin stopped the huge file being generated, and if I reactivated it, it was working okay. It seemed to be actually changing a setting and saving it that triggered the problem.
