contact form 7 - add featured image to post WordPress
- SOLVED
I'm using the code below to add a post using contact form 7.
I need to add the first image from the form as a featured image on the post.
The image file field is [artistimage1]
// CONTACT FORM 7
function my_wpcf7_save($cfdata) {
$formtitle = $cfdata->title;
$formdata = $cfdata->posted_data;
if ( $formtitle == 'Artists Application') {
// access data from the submitted form
$formfield = $formdata['fieldname'];
// create a new post
$newpost = array( 'post_title' => $formdata['artist-artist1'],
'post_type' => 'artistsposts',
'post_status' => 'draft');
$newpostid = wp_insert_post($newpost);
// add meta data for the new post
add_post_meta($newpostid, 'studio', $formdata['artist-studio']);
add_post_meta($newpostid, 'website', $formdata['artist-website']);
}
}
add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_wpcf7_save',1);

which type of field you have taken for "artistimage1" ? if it file type then try following code:-
<?php
function my_wpcf7_save($cfdata) {
require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');
$formtitle = $cfdata->title;
$formdata = $cfdata->posted_data;
if ( $formtitle == 'Artists Application') {
// access data from the submitted form
$formfield = $formdata['fieldname'];
// create a new post
$newpost = array( 'post_title' => $formdata['artist-artist1'],
'post_type' => 'artistsposts',
'post_status' => 'draft');
$newpostid = wp_insert_post($newpost);
$attach_id = media_handle_upload( $formdata['artistimage1'], $newpostid );
// add meta data for the new post
add_post_meta($newpostid, 'studio', $formdata['artist-studio']);
add_post_meta($newpostid, 'website', $formdata['artist-website']);
}
}
add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_wpcf7_save',1);
?>
Austin comments:
The field for the image is a file attachment - [artistimage1]
Tried the code - the form went through and created a post but did not create a featured image,
The image did not go in the media library either.

Arnav did a great job - here is the finished code:
// CONTACT FORM 7
remove_all_filters ('wpcf7_before_send_mail');
add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'contactform7_before_send_mail' );
function contactform7_before_send_mail( $cf7 ) {
$formtitle = $cf7->title;
$formdata = $cf7->posted_data;
if ( $formtitle == 'FORM NAME') {
$article_title = $formdata['title-field'];
$my_post = array();
$my_post['post_title'] = $article_title;
$my_post['post_status'] = 'draft';
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
$image_name = $cf7->posted_data["file-field"];
$image_location = $cf7->uploaded_files["file-field"];
$content = file_get_contents($image_location);
$wud = wp_upload_dir();
$upload = wp_upload_bits( $image_name, '', $content);
$chemin_final = $upload['url'];
$filename= $upload['file'];
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/admin.php');
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($filename), null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $new_post_id);
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
update_post_meta($new_post_id, "_thumbnail_id", $attach_id);
add_post_meta($new_post_id, 'customfield1', $formdata['customfield1']);
add_post_meta($new_post_id, 'customfield2', $formdata['customfield2']);
}
