# Empty attachments

 * I’ve configured CF7 with Mandrill to send my emails. It’s a simple form [http://myinstadoc.com/testing-form/](http://myinstadoc.com/testing-form/)
 * Everything works fine except the attachments. It doesn’t throw an upload error
   but from what I can see by manually quickly refreshing the temp upload directory,
   it’s not even uploading anything there. I’ve set the upload folder to 0777 permissions
   but that’s not doing anything.
    It attaches an empty 0 byte file with the file
   name I try to upload.
 * Any ideas?

 * Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all other plugins. If you
   still see the issue, contact your host support.
