Well, I give up. I have removed the attach file part completely, because it is just too unreliable. Having pared my site back to the Twenty Fifteen theme, and with NO plugins other than Contact Form 7, Really Simple CAPTCHA and WP Maintenance Mode, I have to conclude that the problem lies within the Contact Form 7 coding.

My clients will not be happy, but hey ho. Life sucks.

An update – nope, big files don’t work no Android, either.

OK – I disabled all plugins except Contact Form 7, and set the theme to Twenty Fifteen, but the problem got worse – I could not send messages with large attachments from PC, Mac nor Android! (I didn’t test iOS).

so I deleted the [file] tags completely, and created new ones, and it seems to have fixed the problem! I am now going to switch on all the plugins, to see if the situation remains happy.

Luckily my website was very new, with nothing much on it.

Because I’d been changing the domain names in the dashboard, in wp-config, functions.php and even tried a search-and-replace in and exported SQL database, I thought it best to just start again from scratch.

It took another call to Godaddy to figure out how to get iambiscuit.com to point to some other space on the server. “Add-on Domains” was the answer. But now it’s up and running!

Thanks for your help and suggestions!

Thanks for your reply, leejosepho.

So unless your account at GoDaddy does not allow for more than one domain

And therein lies the problem. After all the frustration I’ve been through, I eventually discovered that indeed, GoDaddy does not allow for more than one domain forwarded to a subfolder, with their “economy” hosting which I had. I have, this morning, just upgraded it to their “Deluxe” hosting, which ,apparently, allows for multiple websites on the same server, with no domain forwarding – it should behave exactly as if I have dedicated hosting for each domain (even though it’s physically hosted on the same shared server, sharing server resources).

So – now comes the excitement of moving my WordPress site to the “new server”!

Well, that was easier than I thought. A little more searching turned up this article:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/45381/how-to-check-if-user-is-in-back-end
I was under the impression that is_admin() just checked if the user was admin and had nothing to do with front/back endness.

So I’ve modified that if statement to this:
if( (!is_front_page()) && ( $pagename != 'latest-news') && (!is_admin()) ) {...
…and it seem to work perfectly!

I guess I could tidy up that if statement – there are a lot of NOTs there. But it works, so I’m inclined not to touch it!

I’m surprised that:
(a) this hasn’t been fixed in an update
and
(b) only one other person has added to this thread.

I found this, by the author of this plugin: http://www.billerickson.net/code/remove-link-title-display-posts-shortcode/
I added that code to my theme’s functions.php file, and it has successfully killed off the link from the post’s title. Nice.

I also changed line 23 from:
$output = '<' . $inner_wrapper . ' class="' . implode...
to
$output = '<hr><' . $inner_wrapper . ' class="' . implode...
which gives me a simple <hr> separating each post.

I also added .title to my theme’s syle.css to make the title match my h1 style:

.h1, .title {
     font-family: 'leckerlitworegular', cursive;
    color: #511c39;
    font-size: 30px;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 1.1;
    text-decoration: none;
}

I’m not sure how I accomplished this previously, but this did the job OK.
