Questions the author answers
How can I send feedback or get help with a bug?
For any bug reports go to Support page.
How can I limit file size?
To limit file size in multiple file upload field generator under Contact Form 7, there’s a field File size limit (bytes).
You can also manually add limit parameter in existing [mfile] tag.
Example: [mfile upload-file-433 limit:20971520] – This limit the user to upload upto 20MB only.
How can I limit the number of files in my Upload?
You can limit the number of files in your file upload by adding this parameter max-file:3 to your shortcode :
Example: [mfile upload-file-344 max-file:3] – this option will limit the user to upload only 3 files.
How can I Add or Limit file types
You can add or change file types in cf7 Form-tag Generator Options by adding jpeg|png|jpg|gif in Acceptable file types field.
Example : [mfile upload-file-433 filetypes:jpeg|png|jpg|gif]
How can I change text in Drag and Drop Uploading area?
You can change text Drag & Drop Files Here or Browse Files text in WordPress Admin menu under Contact > Drag & Drop Upload.
How to Display Links in an Email
Some email servers have limitations on file attachment sizes (e.g., Google allows a maximum of 20-25 MB). Attaching large files to emails can be problematic. Consider using this option to display links in the email instead of attaching the files.
Go to WP Admin Contact -> Drag & Drop Upload settings then check “Send Attachment as links?” option.
