Here is a sample code that that has the user submit more
than one file.

FORM CODE:

[file ACT_scores filetypes:gif|png|jpg|jpeg|pdf /]​​
[file SAT_scores filetypes:gif|png|jpg|jpeg|pdf /]​
[file HS_transcript filetypes:gif|png|jpg|jpeg|pdf /]​

Also remember to put the name in your mail section

MAIL SECTION CODE:

​[ACT_scores]
​[SAT_scores]
​[HS_transcript]​

​​​

I guess Everything is correct, but it is not sending me email.
​After I fill up the form I get the green box saying that email has been sent successfully.
The emails go to spam folder but (the 2 emails)

​
So your email are being seen as spam somewhere in the email process. This is usually due to email headers. Consider changing the From email address used.

Emails can be considered spam for a whole host of reasons and get rejected at many points in the email process in addition to your spam folder.

See Contact Form 7 Email Issues – this links to a much more comprehensive article which also covers emails being considered spam.

See also Best Practice to Set Up Mail.

You should consider adding the [AttachFile] tag in your mail section.
​
see CF7 tags
Also see File Uploading and Attachment.

Use Ordered List elements to display multiple fields on single line.

HTML:

<ol class="singleline">
<li> <label for="cf7-phone">Phone</label> [text cf7-phone 15/]</li>
<li> <label for="cf7-mobile">Mobile</label> [text cf7-mobile 15/]</li>
</ol>

Added to Form section of CF7 interface. Labels are added for improved accessability.

CSS:

.wpcf7-form .singleline ol {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
}

.wpcf7-form .singleline li{
display: inline-block;
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}

​​Add your CSS via Child Theme or use custom CSS plugin.

​Also see Styling Contact Form for a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS.

You may add an anchor link to open in a new tab as follows

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.itsamishmade.com/get-free-quote/"​​ > your descriptive text goes here </a>

The above code will look like shown below.

your descriptive text goes here​​

What the best way to go about adding headers to my drop down selection?

You may achieve this by using HMTL5 <optgroup> as follows​.

<select name="my-name">
    <optgroup label="Fruit">
       <option>Apple</option>
       <option>Orange</option>
       <option>Pear</option>
    </optgroup>
    <optgroup label="Veggies">
       <option>Celery</option>
       <option>Carrots</option>
       <option>Beets</option>
    </optgroup>
</select>​​

note: you need to add a name attribute the <select> to be able to display the selected option in your email.
​
Lastly in the mail section, simply add the name attribute you used in the <select> like so, [my-name]

I have inspected your form at http://www.alternatum.it/contact-us/ and I got your custom message “Thanks for contacting us! We will get in touch with you shortly.”

That is an indication that CF7 is sending the email. However if you are not receiving emails then they are probably being seen as spam somewhere in the email process. This is usually due to email headers (in particular the From email address used) or email content.

Emails can be considered spam for a whole host of reasons and get rejected at many points in the email process in addition to your spam folder.
