This error can come about because of permissions issues with the upload directory.

For the email address, you must use the @ symbol, the email address must be syntactically correct. The plugin has an email obfuscator built in, so there is no need to avoid using the @ symbol.

The other issue would be it’s not a valid file? I don’t know. The error indicates the file could not be uploaded for some reason, we don’t know exactly why…it could also be a security issue with the website configuration that doesn’t allow uploads or the file size is too large. Take a look at the network log to see if an error is generated by the server.

There’s nothing in those log entries relevant to your problem.

First thing to do is check the PHP configuration to make sure the file size you want to upload is not too big. If you don’t know how to do this, ask your web host.

It’s also possible to see if there is an error when an upload is attempted by opening the browser developer tools and watching the network console for an error.

If your web host is helpful, they should be able to tell you if server errors are happening when an upload is attempted.

Allright, well that error specifically means the file could not be uploaded, but the plugin does not know the reason. Take a look at the network console in your browser when you attempt to upload a file, you may see some kind of error. The problem is in the upload, and since your file is good, the next possibility is there is a permissions issue or a security exception.

The permissions issue would be with the temporary file location used by PHP….although that seems unlikely, as you’d see the problem with WP media uploads too, I’d think.
