    I have a form that needs to be up for applicants. It is a 7-page form that has a file upload on the 6th and sends an email notification on the 7. The html source for the 6th page is shown below. 

    <b>Essay:</b>
<p>In no more than 500 words, please answer the following personal statement question. Please use a word-processor and save your work in a common format. When completed, upload your work below.<br />

[file* file-essay limit:25mb] </p>

<p>[back "Back"]</p>
&nbsp;
<p>[submit "Next"]</p>

[hidden step "6-7"]

    The code for the 7th page is listed below.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function submit()
    {
        document.getElementById("submit").click();
        document.submitForm.submit();
    }
</script>
<body onload="submit()">
<p hidden><input type=submit name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit"/></p>

[hidden step "7-7"]

    Below are the email mail-tags.

    To	[email protected]
From	[text-firstname] [text-lastname]
Subject	[text-firstname] [text-lastname]'s Application
Additional Headers
Message Body	Essay: [file-essay]
File Attachments	[file-essay]

    As you can see [file-essay] is listed in the attachment field. The original tag is [file* file-essay limit:25mb].

    I dont know why the documents are not being attached to the email. I have upgraded my php version to 5.6. My wordpress is 4.2.2. I looked at the directory /wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads which has 755 permission. When the file is uploaded and sent. It says that it is modified at the time but the file isn’t there. I also tried disabling plugins.

    The current plugins I have are:

    Contact Form 7
Contact Form 7 Multi-Step Forms
Google XML Sitemaps
iThemes Security
Jetpack by WordPress.com
Nextend Facebook Connect
WordPress SEO

    Do these plugins contradict CF7? I am running out of options as it seems like nothing is working.. Does any one have any suggestions?

    I have set the permissions for wpcf7_uploads to 777 and it still isn’t updating? Would anyone please help me? The applications needs to be up soon..

    Not even the name of the file gets attached in the body.

    RESOLVED! After a year of pondering and thinking to much and experimenting, I’ve come up with the conclusion that file upload does not work on multiple pages and that “Contact Form 7 Multi-Step Forms” does not support file attachment. File attachment must be on the same page as the mail.

    I hope in the future this is something Mr. Takayuki Miyoshi can fix.

    @kevintingss – the problem is more likely to be caused by how “Contact Form 7 Multi-Step Forms” operates. I’d recommend you post your conclusion there if you haven’t done so.
