   and it all works fine now!

 * I notice you said that “The way that Hide Backend functions changes in this release”.
   Are you working on a fix for the ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_TOO_BIG errors caused by
   Hide Backend in Chrome?
    See here for details: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/err_response_headers_too_big-in-chrome/#post-9304272](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/err_response_headers_too_big-in-chrome/#post-9304272)
 * I have the Hide Backend feature disabled at the moment, else the site does not
   work at all on Chrome.

 * [@webcitymedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webcitymedia/) Like many 
   other people with this error, I’ve gone into the iThemes Security settings > 
   Advanced > Hide Backend and switched that off. Which now means that the default
   wp-admin page is the log-in page, making it easier for hackers to find a way 
   in. The site now works OK in Chrome.

 * I also have this same problem; ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_TOO_BIG in Chrome, Firefox
   is OK. Disabling iThemes Security fixes the problem. The lack of response from
   iThemes on this issue means I will definitely not use iThemes for any future 
   sites.

 * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-of-big-files-does-not-work/#post-6469408)
 * As recommended by millertchris, I’ve installed another plug-in ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/))
   to try to upload a file. It can upload a 6MB file, but not an 8MB file. It gave
   me an error suggesting that I increase the `max_input_time`, because it was currently
   set to -1. I added `max_input_time = 6000` to `php.ini`, and tried another 8MB
   file upload. This time, it failed with an `unknown error`. Which is not very 
   useful.
 * [A discussion here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11387113/php-file-upload-affected-or-not-by-max-input-time)
   seems to conclude that `max_input_time` is not relevant anyway.
 * So it seems that Contact Form 7 is not to blame for these errors.
 * If anyone has any suggestions on how I might possibly fix this, I’d be very interested
   to hear from them!

 * OK – so…some time later, I’m back on this problem. I’ve changed my hosting package,
   so the server now has 1GB RAM.
 * I’ve added a php.ini file:
 *     ```
       upload_max_filesize = 128M
       post_max_size = 128M
       max_execution_time = 600
       ```
   
 * …and checked the PHP info ([http://weareccfm.com/phpinfo.php](http://weareccfm.com/phpinfo.php))
   that those settings have taken effect, and they have.
 * BUT, I still cannot upload anything other than small files – like one 8MB file.
   I have three file ‘slots’ in the form. I CAN send 3x 4MB files. I CAN send 1x
   8MB file. I CANNOT send 2x 8MB files; if I try to send 2x 8MB files, I get the
   error “Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator
   by another method.” – not a file size too big message.
 * The code for my contact form is:
 *     ```
       <p>Your Name (required)<br />
           [text* your-name] </p>
   
       <p>Your Email (required)<br />

   does not affect any dates used elsewhere on my site).

 * Never mind, I fixed it by adding this to my child theme’s style.css:
 *     ```
       .date {
           font-size: 85%;
           display: block;
           padding-top: 5px;
           padding-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * The `display: block;` is the cromulent line that forces the date to be on its
   own line.

 * No, it shouldn’t do. The only thing I’m worried about is the fact that the developer
   is no longer maintaining the Openstrap theme and has not updated it for a long
   time – over a year, maybe. So, as WordPress gets updated and hackers exploit 
   various vulnerabilities, the Openstrap theme might become vulnerable to attack.
   Hopefully this won’t happen, because I do not have a ‘plan B’ for the very complex
   site I built around this theme.
 * I certainly will not ever be using this theme in any future projects.

 * Isn’t the email in the trash on your Yahoo account? I know one of the many major
   flaws of the awful Yahoo webmail system is that it is very, very easy to click
   on the trash can icon when trying to just open a message. Moral of the story:
   do not use Yahoo mail. It is abysmal.

 * I can’t help you, but I can confirm that I am having the same problem. I can 
   happily send small attachments (up to about 2MB) but anything larger just causes
   Contact Form 7 to hang on the spinny arrows. I have repeatedly asked for help
   on this forum, but have been ignored. I have also taken my site right back to
   the basics – Twenty Fifteen theme, and all plugins OFF except Contact Form 7,
   ReCaptcha and a Site Maintenance Mode plugin.
 * I can therefore conclusively prove (from both the paring back of my site, and
   the complete silence from the authors of Contact Form 7) that the problem lies
   with Contact Form 7, and the authors are not willing to admit it or fix it.
 * My only solution was to remove the attachment facility from my client’s site 
   completely, and look like a complete idiot in the process. I would be very grateful
   if someone could recommend an alternative to Contact Form 7.
