File upload file not blob in DB

    Hi,

    Great plugin! I’ve encountered an strange thing however. If I define a max file size in an upload field like [file file1 limit:5mb] in the database it is not recognised anymore as a blob (if I upload a 2.6mb JPG file). The file column states [Null]. If I leave out the limit:5mb it is recognised as a blob and the image is stored. How can I make this work? I need to allow files to 5mb.

    Anyone has a answer to this?

    After you submit, does the email that you receive from CF7 have the file attached?

    Hi Micheal,

    Just tested that and yes, in the mail they are attached.

    Hi Micheal, can you please inform me why the (large) files are not marked as blob or inserted in the database? I need to finish a solution and this is the only think stopping me, as the attachments are important to us.

    I’ll see if I can duplicate the issue.

    I haven’t been able to duplicate the situation where a CF7 form successfully submits with an email generated including a file attachment, yet there is no file saved in CFDB.

    So if I understand correct you are saying that the (large) file is stored in the CFDB?
    Perhaps I have something wrong set in the form? Can you show me what you did?

    I created a form in Contact Form 7:

    [file file1 limit:5mb]

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

    I put the shortcode for it on a post. Then I submitted files from that post.

    Large files are stopped by Contact Form 7, giving me an error message in the web page (CFDB is not triggered).

    Hi Michael,

    I’ve got it working, I was using a older version of the plugin, with the latest version it works very well. Thank you for your help.
