File Upload not working

    I have put a File Upload section into my form, and restricted the entries to Microsoft Word files (typed “doc|docx” into the Accepted File Extensions field). When testing this, if I select a .docx file to upload and submit my form, the entry on the WordPress interface shows no evidence of the file being uploaded at all. Should there be an “Upload” button that appears on the webpage to upload the file after it has been selected from the file explorer?
    Any help gratefully received…

    As an update, when I receive an entry and view it on WordPress, there is a “[an error occurred while processing this directive]” message in the right hand ‘Details’ panel

    You most likely need to add that mime type into your WordPress site. WP ADD MIME TYPES is what I used to solve this type of problem. Your uploads should be in /uploads/vfb/….

    Good luck!

    If not, find the function in his file for uploads and check it for extension types.. You may have to add it there. If you do, use a child method, so if he updates, you can easily reapply your code.
