I am hoping to get to know this plugin a lot better – I have long been annoyed by the columns that are foisted upon us in wordpress post and page lists by plugin creators and the space those plugins take up when you use the list page – I know I can add with this plugin but if its gonna be worth anything i should be able to remove… Will let you know.

Adjust file upload size in contact form 7
November 5, 2018 By
Briefly – I spent way too much time over way too many days trying to allow a larger file to be submitted via contact form 7…
Everything I could find for cpanel, php.ini, dunctions.php. .htaccess, blah, blah, blah… I tried, But I realized it is JUST the contact form 7.
To see if it is true for you too, go to Media > add new and if the limit on the bottom of that screen is about as high as you want it – add the largest tile allowed. In my case I added a 5 megapop file and uploaded fine. Its got to be the CF7 setup as the WP and cPanel allow an admin upload…
On closer inspection I see that my contact form 7 wants me to input the file size as bytes – so if I want to allow 8 megapops (bytes, not kilo or mega or abbreviations) I have to put in a number reflecting bytes – as in type out 8 million as a number – [file* your-resume limit:8000000]
Freepik.com is surprisingly useful

FREEPIK.COM
You may not find yourself in need of clipart for Japanese food and drink, as I did recently, but if that need does arise – I suggest you look over at freepik.com. it seems to be a relation of shutterstock.com as all the sponsored results are from shutterstock.com – just watch what you click on and you will stay on the Freepik.com and likely find what you want no problem.

Directory Indexing in WordPress
February 8, 2018 By
Just plunk this line in there!
Indexing is an option that allows the contents of a directory to be displayed in the browser when the directory does not contain an index page.
WordPress and many of its security plugins disable this to prevent access to core wordpress files stored in the root directory of your wordpress site.
Sometimes though you need to allow access to a directory (if only for a short while) and to do that you need to go around WordPress – To do that you just plunk the link below into your .htaccess file and you are good to go.
Note: It is recommended (not just by me but the whole wordpress community) that you remove or disable this option when it is not needed.
To DISABLE Directory Browsing or Indexing
Type or copy and past the following line of text in to your blank file.
Note: I add the work “All” so that every folder in that directory follows the same rule.
Options All -Indexes
To ENABLE Directory Browsing or Indexing
You can reactivate it by adding the following line to your .htaccess file:
Options +Indexes
Once this is added, the directory will fully index again.
Contact Form 7 Email Problems
July 13, 2017 By
Problem with from email in emails from WordPress plugin ‘Contact Form 7’. Email is hosted on a separate server – they haver a corporate exchange server… I want emails from the form to have sent by address of “wordpress@clientdomain.com’…
Host GreenGeeks.com
WP Version: 4.8
CF7 Version: 4.8
I am having a problem with the ‘Sent By’ address in the Contact Form 7 settings. I have specified the FROM email to be wordpress@megacoop.com in wordpress and “Contact Form 7” (See screen shot below…)
Click to enlarge
But when the email arrives it denotes that the email is ‘Sent By’ a generic websitehostserver.net email address — ‘megacoop@chi-node6.websitehostserver.net’
Both the “TO” address show this (screen grab of email)

and emails “FROM” the megacoop.com domain… (screen grab of email)

Filezilla window off screen on Mac
May 7, 2015 By
So I go to use Filezilla today and the top half of the window – with the menu bar – is not visible. It has been pushed up past the top Mac menu bar on my screen and I cannot access or see any of the menu’s for it or any shortcuts. This appears to have happened because I was using Filezilla on a larger external monitor before I switched to my Macbook without the external monitor and I stretched the application window to a height taller than the Macbook’s screen.
Anywho – I need filezilla resized and able to be used so I searched hither and yon to find that if you press keys SHIFT OPTION COMMAND while clicking the Filezilla icon in the doc or application folder it will reset the window size to defaults. Nice. Just thought I would share that for others and document it for myself for when i do it again and you know I will…
