Images Optimize and Upload CF7


This is invaluable when working with non tech-savvy users who don't know how to reduce the sizes of images before uploading, and a big convenience for other users. I could wish the instructions were a little clearer, and the default values for a lot of the settings results in a very poor-quality image, so I would've chosen different, less strict limits for file size and quality settings. It's also not being updated to reflect the fact that it works with recent WordPress versions -- but it does, so far.



So: not a perfect plugin, but the only one I can find that does exactly what I need for image uploading on CF7.

Note: On Free version, all uploaded files moves to a temporary folder (“/wp-content/uploads/wp_dndcf7_uploads”) then attaches the file to the mail and sends it. After that “Drag & Drop File Upload” removes the file from the temporary folder 1 hour after the submission. ( same process with the default “file” upload of Contact Form 7 – <a href="https://contactform7.com/file-uploading-and-attachment/#How-your-uploaded-files-are-managed" rel="nofollow ugc">See here</a> )
To adjust or disable the auto-deletion feature, we suggest upgrading to the PRO version for more options (see below).

Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7


We are using the pro version for my client and It's giving a critical error when using 2 upload fields. When both fields is not required and you leave one unfilled, you will not be able to submit the form. 



Support is not good as we tried 2 contact them many times and they are not responding


Upload issue


Like said in the title: works like a charm.Then only thing is that it still uses jQuery which is absolutely not necessary in these days.I'd love to rewrite it to vanilla javascript which seems not to be very complicated.


Works like a charm.
