Example of formatting:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'BeausiteGrandThin';
    src: url('BeausiteGrandThin.eot');

If WordPress max file-size is too low

*Caution: You should not edit this file if you are not confident in the code. You shouldn’t really change the upload_max_filesize for purposes other than importing.

 

For wordpress upload go to /etc/php5/apache2
Vim php.ini
Search for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size by writing / before the word.
Instead of copying the wording just change the number.
Do sudo service apache2 restart.

Code

_____@_______.com.test-google-a.com

When Contact Form 7 does not send to a Gmail email for some reason, add .test-google-a.com to the end and it may help. I learned this trick from a Google support agent and it has worked every time. You will want to also download the ‘Contact Form 7 Submissions’ to make sure any submissions don’t get lost between your site and your email inbox.
