Local File Attachment stopped working

    I run WordPress on an IIS server. I have several contact forms setup to email free reports from my website. They all used to work, and the path I used was an absolute path to a folder off the root of my C drive.

    I recently discovered that the reports weren’t going out with the emails anymore. When I checked the the content forms the error was that I was specifying files outside of the WP-CONTENT directory, which is true, the folder that I kept my reports in was not in the WP-CONTENT directory.

    I moved my reports to the WP-CONTENT directory and updated the info in the FILE ATTACHMENTS box to just file_name.pdf, but when I do that CF7 says “It is not allowed to use files outside the wp-content directory”.

    Is there something special about specifying file names and / or paths on an IIS implementation of CF7?

  • I am having the very same problem. I even tried to disable the configuration validator.
    Did you manage to solve it?

    Nope. Never got any help from this forum either.

    I have read somewhere that you can downgrade it with rollback plugin to make it work again. Just check which version was working when the files were being sent.

    In my case, I’m giving up because I am not going crazy over this. It took me the whole week and nothing!
