 * Hello,
 * I have a form with several fields for submitting photos to competition.
    Everything
   works fine if the file size of the photos is relatively small (aprox 1MB). If
   the files are larger, which they have to be for proper printing, contact form
   does not terminate at all.
 * Any idea how to fix it. Upload file size has been set much larger thant the limit
   in contact form.
 * Regards,
    Mario

 * Check you upload file size limits with your WordPress hosting provider. Setting
   larger limits will not help if they are over-ridden by hosting provider policies.

 * Default setting is at 40MB.
    For some reason the WordPress media upload says 
   1MB but accepts larger files with single upload.
 * Contact Form 7 is set to 6MB per File.
 * When testing the files are 2-5MB, there is no error message prompted, just the
   little rotating image after klicking “submit” never stops.
