Contact Form 7 – rotating arrows – email attachment not sent – upload failed

Hi, I have a problem with form being submitted every time I try to upload a file.

I am using Contact Form 7 version 2.1 and WordPress 2.9.1

Every time I send form without an attachment it works fine – no problem there.

Then if I try to upload a file – small size gif or jpg, form gets stuck and next to ‘submit’ button rotating arrows are visible and nothing happens.

I looked through various websites and forums, tried different hacks and tricks( changing folder permissions, .htaccess, small code changes, disabling plugins, etc..) but nothing seems to be working except – one. But still it doesn’t solve the problem in full.

I have to stress that I tried on mac and pc, firefox, safari, ie etc.. same problem – rotating arrows..

On one of the forums I found a hack to rem this part of code in scripts.jf file:

/*jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	try {
		jQuery('div.wpcf7 > form').ajaxForm({
			beforeSubmit: wpcf7BeforeSubmit,
			dataType: 'json',
			success: wpcf7ProcessJson
		});
	} catch (e) {
	}

	try {
		jQuery('div.wpcf7 > form').each(function(i, n) {
			wpcf7ToggleSubmit(jQuery(n));
		});
	} catch (e) {
	}

	try {
		if (_wpcf7.cached) {
			jQuery('div.wpcf7 > form').each(function(i, n) {
				wpcf7OnloadRefill(n);
			});
		}
	} catch (e) {
	}
});
*/

Well this does the trick – a form gets sent through with attachment – but then I get an error page: Error 404 – Not Found, the address bar is displaying an address: mydomain.co.uk/contact-us#wpcf7-f1-p68-o1
where contact-us is the page with the form.

Potentially I could redirect this address to a Thank You page – cause form gets sent with the attachment and I receive it, great! > But the form is not checked for missing or empty input fields..

I am sure many of you have / or / had similar problems and I was hoping that someone found a solution and could share it with others.

I will be very thankful for any ideas!
