[Plugin: Contact Form 7] File Upload Limit – same old problem?

  • Hello

    I would really appreciate, if somebody could help me out.
    I am trying to set up my website with a contact form that uploads pdf and doc files up to 20mb. I tried a lot of things and none work.
    (And yes I read some 30 entries with just about the same problem and it either does not work, or I do not know how to)

    Basics:
    I have a contact form with an upload function.
    I use:
    ipage hosting
    Wordpress 3.5
    Contact Form 7 (for the form)
    Simple Dropbox Upload (for the file upload – inside CF7 (but I have the same problems with the original CF7 upload field)

    Problem:
    I cannot upload files over 1MB no matter what I do. Sending and email with an attachment of under 1MB to my dropbox and/or webmail works without any problems. Everything over it, does not and I get either an unspecified “server related” error or a “file too big” error (depending on settings).
    (If I only use Simple Dropbox Upload I can upload files up to 20MB and it does work, so it should not related to a general size limit)

    The form:
    <p>Dein Name (Pflichtfeld)
    [text* your-name] </p>

    <p>Deine E-Mail-Adresse (Pflichtfeld)
    [email* your-email] </p>

    <p>Deine Nachricht
    [textarea your-message] </p>

    Welches Service interessiert dich?

    [select menu-294 “Quickcheck” “Korrekturlesen” “Lektorat” “Layout” “Anderes”]

    [file simple-wp-dropbox limit:10000000 filetypes:pdf]

    [acceptance acceptance-217] some text

    <p>[submit “Senden”]</p>

    More Info:
    I ran phpinfo.php and it gave me the following values:
    upload_max_filesize 20M
    max_input_time 60
    max_input_vars 1000
    memory_limit 128M

    I also asked ipage and they said that the email attachment can be up to 25MB.

    Any ideas? Or a work-around? Or some other great plugin that does actually work? Thank you!

    If your answer involves entering some code into php, please also tell me where I can find that file and where to insert it. (I think this would also help a lot of other people)

  • I have the same question.

    The server settings looks ok in my case too.

    I tried now to hard code the default file size in the plugin. And it worked right away with a 5 mb limit.

    This is not a recommend method since it will be overwritten when the plugin updates. But as a testing method it was great because I could rule out any other problems.

    The settings can be found in this file:
    /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/modules/file.php
