In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Upload of big files does not workHi kopierfabrik_admin,
I’ll also second Takayuki on this matter.
The way you describe the issue, it seems to be a server configuration issue rather than a Contact Form 7 plugin issue.
You could try isolating the issue by using any other contact form plugin or a plugin that allows you to upload large files. If you encounter the same issue with a different plugin, then that test would prove it’s a server configuration issue.
If that test fails, then it may open a new conversation we can come back to.
On a sidenote, I have a strong feeling that it’s related to your PHP settings or php.ini file.
Try searching your file for the following terms or entire block:
Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2Mor
Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8MIn the above examples, these are PHP setting on a server that limit the size of an upload. A file above that size would not post itself to the server.
Check back with your hosting company and let us know what they say!

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] sending to multiple email addressesHey Chito,
Absolutely!
In a recent project, I encountered the same issue where Contact Form 7 had a solution.
Use the following block below inside your form:
[select* the-recipient include_blank
“President | president@wordpress.org”
“Vice President | vicepresident@wordpress.org”
“Secretary | secretary@wordpress.org”]The “include_blank” was to add a blank option as the first option in the list, so that it prompts a visitors to take action.
Anything left of the pipe “|” is is the label, anything to the right is the value.
In your email settings, add the following shortcode in the “to:” field.
[the-recipient]That should do the trick!

In reply to: Migration and Media LibraryIt seems that 2 years alter, this is an issue that still have not been resolved.

Hey folks,
Where you able to find a solution? I’m currently attempting to have the media library pick up on new images I’ve uploaded via SFTP to the uploads/* directory.
I’m sure that it requires DB entries, however, I’m not sure where the table exist for the media library.

In reply to: [Twenty Fourteen] Twenty Fourteen "Blog" Page TitleYes, the reference was regarding the “blog” page as chosen form the “settings” menu of the WordPress site. When a “static” page is chosen to be the “blog” page within settings, it removes the page title altogether and does not display any title for that page, at least within the page itself.
My solution to this was eventually just using Visual Composer to insert a query of post listings and styling it to my liking. I just found it odd that they would not include an “on-page” title for the blog page that is inherited from the “static” page.
Probably just a design or functionality decision made at the time the theme was developed.
I’m familiar with PHP and the tempting system WordPress uses, it’s very similar to Drupal. However, I’m still a little green when it comes to PHP.
Thanks for the response!

In reply to: Change wordpress user from www-data to my usernameSweet, thanks for the reply. I’ve been researching this and wanted to make sure that this was the most secure way of doing it.
The only problem i’ve noticed is that if that user was compromised, the hack could compromise the entire server. The www-data user does not have access to any other location other than the var/www/ directory, which is more secure.
I supposed you could always restrict access.

In reply to: Change wordpress user from www-data to my username@grimpanda you could not have summed this up better. This is exactly what i’ve been working on today and I was wondering if you found your answer regarding security risk & ect.
I’d rather not use www-data:www-data as the user / owner of my directories. Though about altering the enviers file as well.
Please let me know what your outcome was.
