Symbol instead of Signature appearing inline email – solved
-
In case this helps anyone, if you see a random symbol instead of a signature in the email, it could be because you are preventing hotlinking of images, for example in Cloudflare settings. If you right click on the symbol, grab the link and paste it into a new window, it will appear. For future emails, you can make a link instead:
<a href="[signature-confirm]">signature link</a>

I have this issue but believe it may be a path problem. There are a couple things I can see: (1) In the email, the shortcode resolves to an absolute path on the host server vs. a working URL. (2) Even tho the plugin seems to be setting the signature upload path to the wpcf7_signatures directory, the path that I see in the email when the shortcode resolves points to the wpcf7_uploads folder. Not sure if either of these is the issue, but right now I can’t get the signature PNG as an attachment or via the recommended (or above) method.
Edit: I have verified the plugin is able to write to the directory (it is using wpcf7_uploads/randomnumber vs. wpcf7_signatures but that shouldn’t matter), so the issue is that it’s giving me an absolute path on the server vs. an “accessible” URL to the uploaded image.
