  • Your plugin doesn’t function correctly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different. Namely, it doesn’t find any of the images that it is supposed to use. Also, the email feature is not sending any emails, though it doesn’t report any errors.

      1. Do you have an update for this issue? Was that actually a bug? Is there a workaround? I’d like to purchase this, but it has to work with that scenario.

          1. “Your plugin doesn’t function correctly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different.”

            Same problem here. Plugin does not work with Wp-Skeleton + Roots that i always use to start websites, and which need a different address for site and home url.

          2. the error message:

            An error occurred:
            Input error: c: Invalid version number for captcha challenge token.

          3. Hi, the problem wasn’t resolved yet. wordpress address is different from site address and , probably, is that reason i can’t upload any file. i tried really several options to upload a simple jpg file. nothing is working
            . please can you find a solution?

            thanks!

            Mario

    1. I have noticed an issue whilst testing the file upload on my site on my ipad. When I click on the upload button, it only gives me the option to upload a photo, however, I want my users to be able to upload a pdf, mp3 or word document. (file upload works fine on mac) and I have also set the allowed file extensions as: all

      Can you have a look into this and try and fix this issue for iPad users?

      Thanks

    2. Hi Nickolas,

      I’ve previously used your previous plugin, inline upload which worked well.

      Looking at your Pro Version of this plugin, does it allow only the admins to upload files?

      We don’t want anyone random just uploading files.

      Thanks 🙂

      1. Hi Martin, the plugin can be configured to allow only admins to upload files. This can also be done in Free version. You do not need the Pro version, if you want it only for this.

        Regards

        Nickolas

    1. For the moment you will have to override the plugin’s css styles manually by adding your css styles in theme’s custom css section by using the following selectors:

      – for Select button input[type=”button”].file_input_button
      – for Upload button input[type=”button”].file_input_submit

      Please note that the plugin’s css rules are intentionally strict and override theme’s settings because of problems with some themes. However, following versions of the plugin will have a mechanism to relax the plugin’s css rules and use theme’s ones.

      Regards

    1. For anybody having this problem, edit this file at lines 7 and 121 –

      /wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/css/wordpress_file_upload_style.css

      Change this line –

      margin: 0;

      to read –

      margin: 10px 0 0 0;

      1. Hello, I keep having this issue even if I changed the CSS exactly as you said.

        I’m using the plugin editor to edit the CSS, and on the title there are brackets with the word (inactive). Could it be a problem related to the editor?

  • I have WordPress File Upload installed and the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload] inserted on a page, but the textboxes/buttons are not visible.

    I also have your Inline Upload plugin installed, but I made it inactive.

    The site I wish to use this shortcode on is included.

    Any suggestions?

      1. No, it’s still not there. I have [wordpress_file_upload] in the text editor window, but no form in the page when I’m in there as admin or as a regular user.

        Inline Upload is deactivated, and WordPress File Upload is active.

        any other settings I may be missing? any known conflicts with other plugins? I may revert back to Inline Upload & see if it’s still a problem, and let you know what I find.

      2. Okay, so Inline Upload doesn’t appear to work either. I think it may be another plugin interfering with this one, or maybe my theme. It worked when I was developing the theme in WebMatrix…

        1. So, I changed themes, and it didn’t fix the issue. I also deactivated all other plugins, and that didn’t fix it either. I was checking in Chrome Incognito mode, so it wouldn’t reuse any data when I refreshed the browser.

          Any other suggestions?

        2. Please download and try version 2.1.2 which has just been released…this version includes debug support for administrators…. let me know on results so that we can sort it out…

    1. Shortcode Composer currently does not allow to save settings. You can copy and paste the generated shortcode to the page you want to show the plugin… future versions (in a few days) will allow saving of the settings….

      thank you…

    1. Hi Derek,

      thanks for all this info…. we will have to go step by step to sort it out….

      1. first of all simplify your shortcode, remove email notification and userdata (just set notify=”false” and userdata=”false”), set createpath=”false” and also add adminmessages=”true”.
      2. try uploading a small file, less than 1Mb and see what happens.
      3. what browser are you working on? IE8? what if you try Chrome? does the problem persist?
      4. what is the URL of your website?

      I will also make some checks on IE8 and let you know…

      Regards

  • New short code:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”1″ uploadrole=”all” uploadpatterns=”*.mov,*.mpeg4,*.mp4,*.avi,*.wmv,*.mpegps,*.flv,*.3gpp,*.webm,*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.png” maxsize=”50″ createpath=”false” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uploadbutton=”I agree to submission terms.

    Same issue. Here is the page: http://arcanet.org/renewearlystart/how-to-help.html

  • also tried this:

  • Holy awesome plugin! Just what I was looking for! Super easy to use, and needed it just in time for a project. I just bought the pro version. One featured I think would be awesome is the ability to import the file uploads to the media library.

    I am doing a custom post type and adding fields using advanced custom fields, using the image field, the only problem is the image field uses a media ID and not a URL, would be super rad to be able to assign the file uploaded to a media ID. Just a thought. I’ll go through your code and see if I can come up with anything.

    Thanks again!

    1. Adding the uploaded files to Media is a feature that will be implemented in the next version (in a few days)…. any ideas on additional features are more than welcome…

      regards

      1. Awesome! Can’t wait for this feature! I tried implementing it myself, and I got it to work, but had to refactor the $_FILES array, and it only worked for single files, but I am sure you’ll implement it quite well.

        One quick question. Is this supposed to work on ie6 and ie7? I thought it had a flash fallback, but it wasn’t working in ie6 for some strange reaason as it was saying something about prototype not found. Just checking.

  • I am unable to upload files over a meg or so. Small image files upload very quickly, but video files stall after a minute or so.

    1. Hi,

      Can you please tell me which browser are you using, your shortcode and the url of your website? We will resolve it.

  • The page is displaying the file but won’t play it.
    I get this warning
    Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for ………/wp-content/uploads/muziek/sopraan126-scarborough-fair—sopraan.mp3 in ……/public_html/koor/wp-content/plugins/advanced-dewplayer/advanceddewplayer.php on line 127

    What’s wrong? Can you help me?

  • Hi. Love your plugin but I’m having a few issues which I hope you can help me with.

    Here is the code as your plugin generated it once I’d set everything up:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”administrator,customer” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg,*.png,*.pdf” maxsize=”350″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” adminmessages=”true” uploadtitle=”Upload files for DIY Product” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%useremail%,info@muggles.co.za” notifysubject=”File Upload Notification – %username%” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n%This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.%n%%n%Username: %username%%n%User Email: %useremail%%n%File Name: %filename%%n%User Data: %userdataXXX%%n%%n%Best Regards” attachfile=”true” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Text on Product/Font Required”]

    1. Notifications

    I need the notification email to be sent to me as the Administrator to my email address but it only sends it to the useremail.

    2. Additional Fields

    I need these fields to be included in the email that gets sent to me but the email that I (as the Customer) only states the following:

    “Dear Recipient,

    This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.

    Username: Ainscow
    User Email: XXXXX@XXXXXXXXXXX.XX.XX
    File Name: red-christmas-tree-20131229035545.jpg
    User Data: %userdataXXX%

    Best Regards”

    3. File Path

    I have opted to NOT show the File Path, but after uploading the image, next to the Upload Successful message there is a small downward pointing triangle. When you click on it then it shows the File Path.

    How do I stop this from showing to anyone who uses the site?

    If you need any further information you are welcome to contact me. Thanks again for a wonderful plugin. These issues are probably just due to me being blonde (yes I can say that lol) and not having much coding knowledge.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Sara

    1. PS: One other problem I am having is removing the uploaded files once I have finished with them. I logged in via my Control Panel and got the following error message when I tried to delete them:

      Error: Unable to remove file //httpdocs/wp-content/uploads//var/www/vhosts/muggles.co.za//httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/red-christmas-tree-20131229033022.jpg: filemng failed: rm: cannot remove `/var/www/vhosts/muggles.co.za//httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/red-christmas-tree-20131229033022.jpg’: Permission denied
      filemng: Error occurred during /bin/rm command.

      Please advise – Thanks

    2. Hi Sara,

      here are the answers:

      1. Maybe a bug….. I will check….
      2. you should replace %userdataXXX% with %userdata1%, %userdata2% etc for each field. XXX is just a placeholder for 1, 2, 3 etc. So, %userdata1% will be replaced by the data that the user put in the first field (Text on Product) and so on…
      3. You see the triangle even as a Customer? The path details should only be visible to administrators. I will check.

      Thanks for this valuable info. I will let you know asap about results.

  • Hello,

    I recently purchased your pro version, upon installation…it has completely overridden my theme css..changing the font, spacing etc. How do I remedy this?

    1. you can add createpath=”true” in your shortcode in order to create the folder if it does not exist….

      please let me know if you need further assistance….

  • Hello there,

    First of all I must say this plugin is great and exactly what I’m looking for to help my business online.
    There’s only one issue I’m having which I hope you can help me with.

    I had chosen for files to be sent to my FTP and had entered my username/password credentials. I know this information is correct because it had successfully created a directory “uploads” folder in my personal FTP server. Though the file would not go through as it states, “Upload failed! Error occured while moving temporary file. Please contact administrator.”

    My assumption is that this is not a problem with the plugin but may have to do with the permissions within my web hosting. But I’m unsure as to which needs to be adjusted. My max upload size is 100MB but I have even tried testing with very small files and they were still unsuccessful.

    Here’s a copy of my shortcode for reference:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all” maxsize=”100″ createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”???:???@ftp.fotobox.ca” useftpdomain=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton/uploadbutton/subfolders/userdata/message/progressbar” uploadtitle=”FOTOBOX FTP Upload” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”info@fotobox.ca” widths=”title:300px, filename:200px, progressbar:600px, userdata:600px” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Name/Email/Order”]

    I hope you will be able to assist me with me this issue. I think your plugin is great and if this is able to work then I am very interested in upgrading to pro version to allow multiple files.

    Thank you

      1. No, it is not. It is an FTP server located at our store. My website is hosted by GoDaddy.

        However, I would like the files to be sent directly to my ftp server here.

        1. Was this ever resolved?

          I am having the exact same issue with version 2.5.5 Pro. Same error if I point to the FTP of the server hosting my website as an external FTP site.

          Can you help?

  • Is this compatible with WP 3.8? I can’t get email notification to work. My shortcode (with redacted email address):

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”2″ singlebutton=”true” uploadrole=”all” createpath=”true” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”correct@email.com” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n% This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.%n%%username% %useremail% %filename% %filepath% %n%Best Regards” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Your message”]

    1. Yes it is compatible with WP 3.8… do you have any other plugins sending emails? Sometimes there are conflicts…

      1. It is only working with certain email addresses. It is sending a notification to my gmail address, but not to my work email. I’m less suspicious of your awesome plugin than I am of wherever the work emails are hosted.

  • Hi,
    I use your plugin to upload via ftp. My hoster supplies ftp account names only in the xxx@domain.com format.
    So my login crdentials look like test@domain.com:passwd@ftp.domain.com
    The plugin interprets the first @ as the part before the domain name so it can not login to the ftp server.
    Anyway you can solve this?

    1. Use \@ and \: like this:

      test\@domain.com mailto\:test\@domain.com:passwd@ftp.domain.com

      please pay attention to the backslashes (\) before (@) and (:) symbols. The only (@) and (:) without backslashes should be those separating username, password and domain.

      please also pay attention to the spaces…

      let me know if there are problems….

      https://www.iptanus.com

      1. Sorry, can’t get it to work. Maybe i wrote the wrong credentials line in the previous post.
        So my ftp username is: test@domain.com and the password is just test (no @ symbol here).
        Can you provide again the instructions?

  • When I tried to activate your plugin, it showed:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in {my_path_wordpress}\wp-content\plugins\wp-file-upload\lib\wfu_functions.php on line 115

    Do you know how to solve it?

  • Is it possible to specify a directory which is at the root level of the website rather than in the wp-content directory?

    1. Yes, put double dots (..) before the path, e.g. if your folder is “pictures” in the root level, then put in the shortcode uploadpath=”../pictures”

  • Is is possible to still get version 2.1.2? It was working and I’d like to be able to to use the plug-in until the fix is finished.

  • While uploading the wordfiles (docx) I’m getting an error

    “File new-microsoft-office-word-document.docx not uploaded”

    “Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server. Please contact the administrator.”

    Kindly help!

  • Hi and thanks for the plugin. This is incredibly brilliant! It even detects my Android browser…how cool! However, I get failed uploads using FTP and would like some help to fix that please. Below are the details of my error message, the plugin settings, and finally some server details.

    1) Error message:
    File failed to upload
    Redirection to classic form functionality occurred because HTML5 is not supported.
    File test.jpg not uploaded
    Upload failed! Unknown error.
    Failed upload path: /home/paul/public_html/wp-content/uploads/test/test.jpg
    Error. Could not resolve ftp target filename. Check the domain in ‘ftpinfo’ attribute.

    2) Plugin settings
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/test” uploadrole=”all” createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”paul:password@ftp.paul.fake.com” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true”]

    3) Website settings:

    WordPress 3.8

    .htaccess file in the root directory as follows:
    ——
    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress

    AuthName “Home Directory”
    AuthUserFile “/home/paul/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd”
    AuthType Basic
    require valid-user
    ——

    Folder Permission is 755 for wp-content, uploads and test (even tried 777 for the folders with no success).

    My ftp user account has access to the /home folder. I’ve tried using “../public_html/wp-content” in the upload path. I also just tried using “uploads/test” in the uploads path. Both give the exact same error.

    The plugin works fine in Normal Mode. I’m testing with 2MB files of various extensions. I can use 100% of the plugin options in Normal Mode and successfully upload with all of the possible combinations of setting. The need to use FTP stems from the small upload limit of my provider.

    I tried using Android smart phone, WinXP Pro with IE8 / Chrome / Firefox, and Win7 Pro with IE9 and they all give the exact same error above.

    I don’t have direct access to my FTP logs but the system shows me that there has been no account activity since I last logged in with my desktop FTP application. This may imply that the plugin isn’t logging in.

    I can successfully access my FTP site using IE8 and IE9 and the “paul:password@paul.fake.com” combination.

    I can’t think of what else to try and have resorted to trial and error to change settings to get this plugin to work (futile). I look forward to your reply.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    1. Hi,

      does your FTP username or password contain any (@) or (:) characters? Is the FTP domain you are using the same with the website domain?

      Just for your information, ftp mode of the plugin does not upload the files from your computer to the destination file using FTP (not allowed by the browser). It just moves the file that has been uploaded to the temp folder of your website (by the browser using AJAX or HTML Forms) to the final destination using FTP commands. It is used in cases where the file cannot be moved from temp dir to the final destination (using move_uploaded_file or copy PHP commands) because of folder permission restrictions (usually happening when the website is hosted in Windows server environment). This means that if your provider imposes file upload limitations they would probably not resolved using ftp mode. Nevertheless, you can try.

      Google Drive and Dropbox have resolved the “provider limitations” issue by using chunked uploads (cutting the file in small pieces in client side, upload them one-by-one and reconstructing the file in server side). You can find the same approach to the professional version of WordPress File Upload.

      Waiting for your feedback.

  • I’m having problems with ftp mode.
    Below is code and message.
    Safari, firefox mac
    Thanks for any help on this!

    Short Code:
    [wordpress_file_upload notify=”false” userdata=”false” createpath=”false” adminmessages=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”ftpuser\@mydomain.com:thepass@ftp.mydomain.com”]

  • Hi Nikolas,

    I was able to install 2.1.3 but even using just the simplest shortcode, I am unable to upload anything.

    I tried a more complex shortcode at first and kept simplifying it until all I had left was [wordpress_file_upload].

    Regardless of the shortcode I keep getting the following error message whenever I try to upload a file:

    Upload failed! Unknown error.
    Failed upload path: testimage.jpg
    fileupload:Session failed!

    Session Data:
    Array ( )

    Post Data:
    Array ( [action] => wfu_ajax_action [params_index] => HzcenS3T362Z7xya [subdir_sel_index] => -1 [captcha_challenge] => _0 [chunk_data] => 0,0,0,0, [session_token] => 102696120452e414227a0ad8.59364065 [unique_id] => AUm5AcuBCZ )

    I was able to make this work when I had 2.1.2 installed.

    1. Hi Jennifer,

      Please download the new version 2.2.1 and try again. If the problem persists, please let me know. We will sort it out…

      Nickolas

      1. Hi,

        I’m able to upload files using the [wordpress_file_upload] shortcode, but if I go into the settings menu to access the shortcode editor or the file manager I get the following message.

        Internal Server Error

        The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

        Please contact the server administrator, cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

        More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

        Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

          1. I was able to get the shortcode to work, but I still can’t access the shortcode editor. I’ve tried using Safari, Chrome and Firefox.

          2. Hey there,
            strange thing! happend to me to! What was your solution to get all the extra fields ans stuff working?

            Greets

  • I am getting an error when trying to upload. It simply says ‘File not allowed.’ Any tips on overcoming this? I have specified the allowed file extensions, and the files I am uploading match what is allowed.

    Thanks for the input.

      1. I have tried a number of files, most of which have been .mp3 files as those are what clients will upload to our site most often.

        [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all” uploadpatterns=”3gp,avi,mov,mp4,mpg,swf,wmv,wma,wav,mp3,m4a,mid,ogg” maxsize=”2048″ dublicatespolicy=”maintain” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” placements=”userdata/title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/subfolders/message” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Name/*Email/Comment”]

  • I’m also having some trouble with ftp. When uploading, I get the following php error message: ftp_chmod(): Could not change perms on /wp-content/fileuploadsloads: No such file or directory in /server/path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_io.php on line 79

    Isn’t the path /wp-content/fileuploads totally wrong, as wp-content is only in the root of the webspace and not in the root of the file system? And as a path for ftp, this also seems to be wrong.

  • Have just installed this plugin and am trying it out.
    I don’t seen to get a progress bar, just the message ‘Upload in progress’ whilst the file is being uploaded. (See shortcode below.) Is this corect behaviour or am I missing something?

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/testing” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg, *.JPG, *.jpeg, *.JPEG” maxsize=”5″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”reject” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar”
    uploadtitle=”Upload files Test2″ ]

    1. Please set testmode=”true” in the shortcode. This will put the plugin in test mode, so that you can see its elements. Let me know if you see the progress bar or not.

  • RE: Email Notifications

    Is it possible to insert variables from the “Additional Fields” section?

    The following is not working for Email Recipients:

    myemailaddresss@mydomain.com, %userdata1%

    As my form is in a general password protected page (not a specific user with a unique email address), I am asking the file uploader to provide their email address and name. Then I am trying to add their email address to the list of recipients so they get an email confirmation that their file was sent.

    Thanks.

    1. This has not been implemented yet but I will put it in the next version… in a few days from now… thanks for the feedback….

  • Hi, amazing plugin, so far it’s really easy to setup and has some amazing features compared with other plugin. gratz!

    I wanted to know if there is a way to store a file using the userdata value, lets say “email” as a folder (ex.:uploads/%userdata_email%).

    I need to do this for guest users that don’t have an account.

    1. Hi, no way yet…. userdata values cannot be used inside the uploadpath (didn’t have this kind of request so far)… however this seems to be a good way for users with no account, so I will put it in the next version in a few days from now… thanks for the feedback…

  • Thanks for providing the plugin. It comes really handy.

    However, I see several issues when using it:
    (1) File size: Files of up to 10mb are uploaded easily, but no bigger files. (currently the Showstopper for me)
    Resetting upload_max_filesize in php ini did not help.
    (2) All input boxes/buttons are too small be default.
    how can userdata input boxes be resized
    (3) Notify message texts are set, but default english ones are shown nonetheless.
    (4) Button “Select file” is not in line with “Send file” and file input box. Altering the css file, as decribed above, did not work.

    I did spent quite some time on it. When starting with it, I did not expect that much time one has to invest to get a quite simple version to work. I’ll probably try something else as well, as I don’t see how to overcome the described issues.

  • Hi.

    Since the last update, Your plugin will not allow me to have my language during file upload. All the messages stay in English, even when I change them i Shortcode Composer.
    Why ?

  • Can you explain how to set base directory and use the file browser. I am getting these errors when trying to set the base directory and when creating folders with the file browser:

    Warning: Missing argument 1 for wfu_browse_files(), called in /home2/iagairpo/public_html/apsdex.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_admin.php on line 749 and defined in /home2/iagairpo/public_html/apsdex.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_admin.php on line 442

    Warning: opendir(/home2/iagairpo/public_html/apsdex.com/wp-content/public_html/apsdex.com/wp-content/exhibitor-uploads/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home2/iagairpo/public_html/apsdex.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_admin.php on line 521

    Thanks!

    1. If you leave base directory blank, then File Browser will show you the contents of wp-contents folder of your WordPress website. Have you tried this?

  • this plugin looks nice. thank you.
    how to ensure the filename (saved on server) follow a pattern irrespective of actual file name of uploaded file? Say for example a image file ‘john_selfie.jpg’ as img_2431.jpg on target where john’s user id is 2431.

    1. this has not been implemented and needs some coding… alternatively you can store images to different folders for each user (using the username as a subfolder name)…

  • Is there a way to reset the shortcode composer? It doesn’t disappear/reset if I delete the plugin and reinstall the plugin. Where is the shortcode stored in wordpress when it’s updated?

    Why I’m asking is this: The shortcode in the shortcode composer is not updated when I change the Select Button Caption. (The shortcode is correctly updated when any other setting is changed.) Further, I have the letter “ä” in the Select Caption Button text, which has encoded/transformed to the symbol “�”, which furthermore now is _duplicated_ each time I open the Shortcode Composer. The more I try to get rid of all the “�” the more “�” is filling the Shortcode Composer text field. Kinda impossible to use… Help, please! Using the professional version, WP 3.8.1, Chrome.

    1. the shortcode is stored as a WordPress option…. you can reset it if you have access to the database… do you know how to do that?

      nevertheless, it seems that there is a problem with Unicode characters…. I will check it….

  • How can I download the files uploaded by my site’s visitors? Or where do I find the actual physical file?

    /Claudia

    1. For the moment you can do this using an FTP client… the files are stored in the website directory structure inside wp-contents folder….

  • After I hit the upload button I get this error in pink:

    Upload failed! Unknown error.

    I tried it in Chrome and Firefox and I checked the permission on the upload folder (it’s 777)

    (My wordpress url is different from the site url in case the first comment by JW still applies.)

      1. Sure! (I removed the web site url)
        I am using v. 2.2.3

        1. Hi Nicolai

          I get the same error, since the last update (running 2.2.3)

          —-Error—-

          Upload failed! Unknown error.
          Failed upload path: image.jpg
          fileupload:Session failed!

          —End Error—

          It then gives both Session Data and Post Data.

          I changed the upload folder to a random, non-existant, location, but it returns the same error, so the process doesn’t even get as far as checking the upload folder location.

          It all worked fine until recently.

          1. Any thoughts admin?

            My host (Hostgator) gave me an inconclusive response. They said that ‘scripts that require 777 will not work and I should leave it at 755) That wasn’t really my question but regardless, it still doesn’t work.

  • Hi.

    I want to change the Spanish “Upload files”, “Select file”, “Upload file”, “Upload in progress” and “File uploaded successfully”. Where the email is added to recieve files?

    Thanks. Regards.

  • Tryed everything, and worked now for some hours with this plugin, but it does look only nice but is not working – Uploads message success, but no file in the folder , no emails are sended … nothing working … using a fresh and new WP newlly installed

  • Ok.

    I can change anything but “Upload in progress” is not for you to change. Can I change it somewhere else?

    Very thanks. Regards.

  • Is it possible to change the type for each user data input field? For example: set some fields to be radio buttons or drop downs?

    Thanks,

  • hello, I bought your plugin wordpress file upload

    IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME FINDING THE WAY TO REGISTER IN YOUR SITE FOR SUPPORT.

    ANYWAY, I HAVE BEEN WRITING YOU by email, TOO, AND YOU NEVER ANSWERED.

    I hope now I have PAID you for your plugin you are going to answer and support me.

    it has been impossible for me to set your plugin to run well.

    Location: http://www.jbpcr.com/cargarfotos

    testing user (for login – upper part right side): Eljefe

    testing password: Paratest123%321$

    I AM USING THIS PATH:

    wp-content/uploads/fotosclientes/

    I AM USING THIS SHORTCODE:

    [wordpress_file_upload dragdrop=”false” uploadpath=”%username%/” uploadrole=”subscriber” maxsize=”1500″ useftpdomain=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” adminmessages=”true” uploadtitle=”Cargar Imágenes” selectbutton=”Seleccionar/Seleccionar” uploadbutton=”Cargar/Cargar” targetfolderlabel=”Ruta:” successmessage=”Imagenes ya cargadas” warningmessage=”Imagenes cargadas pero con advertencias” errormessage=”Imagenes no cargadas” waitmessage=”Cargando” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%useremail%” notifyheaders=”Imágenes cargadas a jbp” notifysubject=”Imágenes cargadas a jbp” notifymessage=”Gracias %username% %n%%n%sus imágenes han sido cargadas al servidor de jbp” filebaselink=”true”]

    Where
    %username% is the username and corresponds to a location i have previously created in my server, exactly here:

    /home/creadorwebcr/wp-content/uploads/fotosclientes/Eljefe

    so the whole path for the testing user is:

    /home/creadorwebcr/wp-content/uploads/fotosclientes/%username%

    and %username% is equal to Eljefe

    WELL, I TESTED IT, AND THE PLUGIN SAY AT FINAL –

    All files uploaded successfully

    PLEASE CHECK SCREENSHOT AS ATTACH

    BUT, WHEN I GO TO SERVER THE IMAGES ARE NOT THERE, EVEN, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN UPLOADED.

    I HAVE SPENT 6 HOURS TRYING TOO….

    according my cpanel (godaddy account linux server php 5.0) this is the path:

    /home/creadorwebcr/wp-content/uploads/fotosclientes/

    Please help me…

    Thank you

  • Hello All, now i am able to upload the images – the issue of the path is so strange, but anyway, the code i am using is:

    [wordpress_file_upload dragdrop=”false” uploadpath=”/fotosclientes%username%/” uploadrole=”subscriber” maxsize=”1500″ useftpdomain=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” adminmessages=”true” uploadtitle=”Cargar Imágenes” selectbutton=”Seleccionar/Seleccionar” uploadbutton=”Cargar/Cargar” targetfolderlabel=”Ruta:” successmessage=”Imagenes ya cargadas” warningmessage=”Imagenes cargadas pero con advertencias” errormessage=”Imagenes no cargadas” waitmessage=”Cargando” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%useremail%” notifyheaders=”Imágenes cargadas a jbp” notifysubject=”Imágenes cargadas a jbp” notifymessage=”Gracias %username% %n%%n%sus imágenes han sido cargadas al servidor de jbp” filebaselink=”true”]

    And this code uploads the images / files into:
    wp-content/fotosclientes/%username%/

    Having in count i should create the files for the username previously

    IS THERE ANYWAY THE PLUGIN create the file dor the username?

    Thank you.

    Could you please help on this.

    1. What happens if you use the plugin with the most simple options like: [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/demo” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true”] ? Does the problem persist?

      Do you use the latest version?

  • Hello,
    I recently purchased the pro version of your plug in. I was curious if you have any detailed documentation? I am having problems pathing out the plug in.

    thanks

  • Been browsing for a way for users to upload images via the front end and your plugin seems perfect. We purchased the pro version but I have a question. Am I able to use this shortcode with our form? I need to run certain functions for each file uploaded — can you direct me on where or how to do that?

    1. Do you want to run some PHP functions when a file is uploaded? If yes, then I must do some modifications to the plugin and add a custom action… let me know in more details what so you want to do….

  • Hello.
    My problem with upload to external ftp server – not same domain as wordpress.

    Shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”Uploads/%username%” uploadrole=”administrator,author” maxsize=”1000″ createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”xxx\:xxx\@ftp3.taniadrukarnia.eu” useftpdomain=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” adminmessages=”true” forceclassic=”true” debugmode=”true” widths=”progressbar:300px” heights=”progressbar:10px”]

    File size < 100 kB

    This plugin creates a directory, but does not upload the file.
    Answer:
    Upload failed!
    Targer folder doesn't exist.
    Failed upload path: ftp://xxx:xxx@ftp3.taniadrukarnia.eu/Uploads/slasze/4062759009.pdf

    Username and password do not contain special characters (:;!@ etc.)

    Where do bug?

    Slasze

    1. Is ftp3.taniadrukarnia.eu/Uploads/slasze/ the correct folder where the files should go? Have you checked with an FTP client to see that it does exist?

      1. Yes, the directory is correct and can see it by ftp client. “Uploads” directory I created, and the subdirectory “slasze” created a plugin – variable “%username%”.
        I have just removed the subfolder “slasze” and run plugin. Subfolder “Uploads/slasze” has been created, but the file transfer failed.

        ftp server log:
        “mar 14 09:19:55 serwer proftpd[11694] serwer.taniadrukarnia.eu (31.170.166.21[31.170.166.21]): FTP session opened.

      2. Trying to upload a larger file 11MB.

        ” Upload failed! Unknown error.
        Failed upload path: Arts_black_and_white.rar
        fileupload:

        The requested resource
        /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
        does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.”

        It seems that it is not exercised direct the client to the ftp server, but the file is sent to the hosting with wordpress POST method and only with the server you are connecting with ftp.

        So does this plugin:
        My computer –> (POST method) –> WordPress hosting –> (??? method) –> ftp server

        So it probably should look like:
        My computer –> (tunnel created by plugin – FTP method) –> ftp server

  • Hi

    It seems that the plugin is only visible when i am logged in as admin. As soon as i log out, the file upload button on the page disappears. Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks

    1. Yes, this is the default behavior of the plugin. It allows upload of files only to admins. To allow other roles to upload files as well (so the plugin will be visible to them) set attribute uploadrole, e.g. uploadrole=”editor, author”. To allow everyone to upload files (even guests) set uploadrole=”all”….

  • Hello,

    I’m trying to use WP File Upload (pro) but i’m unable to upload a file. Even with a basic shortcode.

    On the same server but in another site with the same version of wordpress, the plugin works.

    Anyone can help me please ?

  • This plugin will be great if I can get it straightened out…

    Small uploads work fine up to about 6-7MB. Once I get larger than that, transfers fail. I don’t get a status that it failed, the screen redraws, and it looks like I just loaded the page.

    Turning on debug and shutting off every plugin except for WPFU, and using the default 2014 theme on 3.8.1, I get these messages when debug is turned on:

    Notice: wp_enqueue_style was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or login_enqueue_scripts hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3049 Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly.

    Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload/lib/wfu_blocks.php on line 53

    Here’s the shortcode:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/clients/%username%” uploadrole=”administrator” maxsize=”100″ createpath=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” chunk=”true” debugmode=”true”]

    I’ve tried several different options and they all produce the same results. I do have the Pro version.

    Any thoughts?

    1. Please remove askforsubfolders attribute, although I do not think that this is the problem. The page should not reload itself. This is not caused by the plugin (or it shouldn’t normally) but it causes the upload script to be interrupted, so upload fails without any error. This means that another script reloads the page automatically after some time. This is probably why small files manage to get uploaded and large don’t.

      Is it possible to give me access to the page so that I can try myself and see what happens?

      1. Check your “info” email. You should have a UID/PW there that will give access. Once in you’ll be at a page that contains WPFU with the following settings:

        [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/clients/%username%” uploadrole=”wpc_client,wpc_client_staff” maxsize=”1000″ createpath=”true” chunk=”true” debugmode=”true”]

  • I’m using WordPress File Upload and can’t seem to find a way to make the userdata fields have a nice tabular format. The labels are all of different length and that staggers the data entry fields. Help please!

    Shortcode used is:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/RawMP3s” uploadpatterns=”*.mp3″ showtargetfolder=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”RawMP3s” adminmessages=”true” uploadtitle=”Upload file” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”itsastretch@dslextreme.com” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n% This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.%n%%n%File Name:%userdata5%%n%Title: %userdata1%%n%Description: %userdata2%%n%Reader:%userdata3%%n%Project: %userdata4%%n%%n%Best Regards” widths=”filename:200px, selectbutton:80px, uploadbutton:80px, progressbar:190px, message:400px, userdata:400px” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Title:/*Description:/*Reader:/*Project:/*File Name:”]

  • Hi.

    I purchased the pro version, and now I have a question about the captcha. Is it possible to choose the difficulty of the captcha? I’m asking this because the captcha is too hard to solve. Is there a way to choose a captcha more easy?

  • Great plugin, well done.
    One feature I would like to see is the ability to have the full download link sent to email. For larger files this would be easier on all concerned.

    Great job
    Dennis

  • I keep getting target folder doesn’t exist but I have the createpath=”true” in my code. Also, how is this plugin handling authenticating the ftp user? I only see the secion ftpinfo=”%username%@xxxxx.com” What about the ftp user account password?
    Thanks, great plugin by the way.

      1. I have changed it many times since the post to try to resolve it on my own so please bear with me. Here are a couple of the attributes I have tried,
        uploadpath=”/ArcVault/%username%” and I’ve tried uploadpath=”XXX/ArcVault/%username%/” and I’ve tried changing the actual folder names on the server to lowercase as well so uploadpath=”arcvault/%username%”
        I am using the lastest version 2.3.1 of the plugin but I am not able to reset the shortcode composer to start over. Thank you for your help.

      2. I am getting the same error message. I am trying to upload to the root directory of my ftp server so I left the Upload Path blank. The plugin also isn’t reading the directory structure when I enable the “Select Subfolder->Auto-populate list” option. I know the credentials are correct because they work fine in Filezilla. Here is my shortcode:

        [wordpress_file_upload singlebutton=”true” uploadpath=”” maxsize=”1024″ createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”user:password@00.00.000.000:21″ useftpdomain=”true” ftppassivemode=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”auto” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/subfolders/userdata/message”]

        obviously I changed the ftpinfo in this post to dummy information but the actual information is correct and works in any ftp client software.

  • Hello,
    I can’t seem to get this plugin to operate. I keep getting errors such as:

    Failed upload path: PiggieGinger400.jpg
    fileupload: Session failed!

    Session Data:
    Array ( [wfu_token_1] => 155169010153370aebc63ec2.88518919 [wfu_check_refresh_1] => do not process )

    Post Data:

    I’ve tried a number of different configurations of the shortcode, but none seem to work. Can you please advise?

    Thanks,
    Heather

    1. I have exactly the same problem with Heather.

      Is there any available solution?

      Shortcode:
      [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”fileuploads” uploadrole=”all” maxsize=”200″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”reject”]

      The same shortcode was working fine until a few days ago

    2. Heather what was your solution, I’m having the same issue no matter how I configure the shortcode.

    1. Good point! No it is not implemented yet. A logging feature is under development, so that admin can view upload events with details (upload user, upload date and page). It will be accessible from the Dashboard….

    2. Yes, it is possible. It requires two things. First, in the upload path, put “%username%”; I actually use “users/%username%” so that all the uploads go to a specific folder under the user name.

      Then, make sure to have the following in your notification email subject line.
      “%username% has uploaded a file.”

      I also have in the Email Body:
      “This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by %username% to %filepath%.”

      Then the message I got was:
      This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by Contribute to /home2/dollardy/public_html/idxcellent/wp-content/users/Contribute/3-biggest-mistakes-youre-making-with-your-wordpress-site-rev.1.1.pdf.

      It gives me the user name and the name of the actual file that was uploaded. That will work for users that are logged in, but could be confusing if you are allowing guests to upload files.

      I hope that helps,
      Mike

  • I am having trouble getting this plugin to work right. I am using the following short code:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”users/%username%” uploadrole=”administrator,subscriber” maxsize=”500″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” redirect=”true” redirectlink=”http://idxcellent.dollardynamics.biz/upload-thanks” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”mike@dynamicwebshop.com” notifysubject=”%username% has uploaded a file.” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n% This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by %username% to %filepath%.%n%%n%Best Regards%n%”]

    It uploads the file, but does not send an email. I get emails if I add a user, etc., so I know that sending isn’t the problem. What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    1. What browser are you using? Can you please try using different browsers (Chrome and Firefox)?

      Sometimes this happens because a specific plugin is preventing emails being sent from other plugins? Are there any plugins, other than WordPress File Upload, that send emails? Can you disable them and try again?

      Let me on results…

      1. I was using Firefox V28, but I tried Chrome and it worked with Chrome. Not sure why Firefox won’t send with this plugin. It works with the native WordPress email send and there is not another plugin that sends email.
        Thanks,
        Mike

  • The other problem I am having is that it keeps overwriting the Email Subject and Email Body with %username% and the Upload Role.

    And one last question I have is how do I enable multiple file uploads? I do not see a place to set this to “True”. Maybe I was given the wrong link and got the light version instead of Pro?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    1. Can you please be more specific about the “The other problem I am having is that it keeps overwriting the Email Subject and Email Body with %username% and the Upload Role.”??? Can you give me an example?

      You can set multiple=”true” in the shortcode. It is also inside the Shortcode Composer of the Dashboard, in General Tab under section “Basic Functionalities”. If you don’t see it, then you probably have the free version!!! How did you download the plugin?

      1. More on the other problem I am having about it overwriting the Email Subject and Email Body. I set it up with the following:

        The original contents of Email Subject was:
        %username% has uploaded a file.

        The original contents of Email Body was:
        Dear Recipient,
        This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by %username% to %filepath%.
        Best Regards

        After I go out of that tab, say to another page in the admin panel and then come back, I find that it has substituted the following:
        Email Subject:
        administrator,subscriber0

        Email Body:
        administrator,subscriber1

        As for the ability to set multiple file uploads, in my General tab under “Basic Functionalities”, I have the following three options:

        Plugin ID

        Single Button Operation

        Upload Path

        I downloaded the plugin from the link I got in my confirmation email. It had the following:

        WordPress File Upload Pro
        Download: wordpress-file-upload-2.3.1.zip

        I thought it was strange that the plugin wasn’t named Pro, but I recognized that it was different than the wp-file-upload-2.3.1.zip name that I downloaded as the free one. Did I get the right file?
        Thanks,
        Mike

  • Hi there! I love your plugin, it’s light, simple and easy. Anyway, I have a question: how do I increase the distance between the lines? The boxes are vertically too close together. Thanks a lot for your time and help. 🙂

    1. There is a height attribute that you can use (for syntax use the Shortcode Composer inside plugin’s Dashboard Settings). In case this does not solve your problem, then you will have to use custom css code. For the moment there is no custom css option in the plugin, so you will have to use your theme’s custom css section. The new version of the plugin will have a custom css attribute. If you don’t know how to use css, let me know so that I can help you.

  • I’ve tried half a day to get it running with
    WordPress 3.8.2, Twenty Ten and a few plugins. Finally wp-typography turned out to be the grinch:

    When activated: just page title is diplayed.
    When deactivated: WordPress File Upload works as described.

    Thanks for the excellent plugin.

    Best regards

  • I just bought and installed the Pro version. I have the file uploader working on a page through the browser, but unfortunately the uploader UX does not render on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Chrome Browser. Please advise. Thanks!

    1. Also doesn’t render in IE on Windows 8. Surely I’m missing something here. What good is this plugin if it only renders in Chrome and Firefox? 🙂

  • I would like to add “Name” and “Email” text inputs, and also a “Comments” text area to my multi-file upload form. I see the “Additional Fields” tools, but frankly, when I add these fields, they look terrible 🙁 The form element labels do not line up well, and the overall file upload experience is compromised. Ideas? Thanks!

  • I was frusterated with just about every version of this type of plugin I could find.

    Finally I just developed my own. But this one uploads the files to your wordpress temp folder then transfers that file to a FTP account that you configure in it. This way using Filezilla server or another FTP server software on your computer you can actually have someone upload files directly to your computer from your website.

    It even creates a folder based on the company name filled out in the form.

    I have been using it sucessfully for months and even sold a few dozen copies of it.

  • I don’t know how is it possible but I lost the pro version features of the plugin.

    We bought it april 8th order #286…

    I tried to reinstall the downloaded version of the plugin and there are no pro version features.

    Can someone help us? Thanks.

  • When I upload files, the filenames seem to be converted to lower case.
    How could I keep the filenames’ case sensitivity?

    TIA

    1. Hi, currently the plugin converts all filenames to lowercase…

      there are two things you can do to change this:

      a. Use filters introduced in latest version 2.4.1 in order to keep the original filename. To do this, you have to do some php coding.
      b. Make a very slight change in one of the plugin’s php files in order to disable conversion to lowercase.

      I can provide more information about them if you want.

      Best Regards

  • Nice plugin! Works fine, but is there a way to require a password (unique to each user) before a file can be uploaded? I could password protect the page, but that is a single password for all. Thanks!

    1. Password protection seems like a good alternative to captcha and I will add it to the todo list of the plugin for future versions, however it requires a lot of implementation.

      By the way, why you need a password if the user is already logged in? Do you want to allow file uploads only to specific users? There may be plugins to allow access to posts/pages only for specific users. Nevertheless, I will also add to the todo list a feature to allow file uploads only to specific users.

      Best Regards

  • (How) Does your plugin handle file replacement, where user needs to replace one file with another via simple upload? (Thanks in advance.)

    1. By default the plugin will replace an existing file with the uploaded one having the same filename. There are additional options if someone does not want to replace the file and reject the upload, or rename the uploaded file according to a pattern so that the names are always different.

      Let me know if you need more info about this.

      1. Is there a way to automatically rename files when they are uploaded? Ideally, I’d like to have users enter their name and company into fields on the upload page, and rename the file using that user info (Ex. UserCompany_UserName_2019.xlsx).

        Thanks!

          1. Thanks for responding!

            I have the free version.

            If you have instructions for adding fields for user’s name, email, etc. that would be most appreciated as well.

            Stuart

          2. Here is a link that provides a description of the additional user fields that can be added in the upload form.

            You can easily add them using the visual editor. They are in Additional Fields tab. It is pretty straightforward how it works.

            Regards

            Nickolas

          3. Thanks for linking me to the visual editor instructions – it was very straightforward.

            I’d super appreciate any info about using a hook to rename files using entries in additional fields (Name, Company, etc.).

  • Hi,

    is it possible to automatically rotate the uploaded images based on EXIF meta data? And is it possible to show a thumbnail preview of the images before upload?

    Thanks,
    Arne

    1. You can process the contents of the file immediately after it has been uploaded using the wfu_after_file_upload action, described in the plugin’s documentation, so by implementing this action you can rotate an uploaded image, however you must write your own image processing php code.

      Thumbnail preview is not available for the moment. However there are similar requests from other users as well, so it will be included in a future version.

      Let me know if you need more info.

      Best Regards

      1. Ok, so I have a function correctImageOrientation($filename). It’s from here (last post): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3657023/how-to-detect-shot-angle-of-photo-and-auto-rotate-for-website-display-like-desk

        I am not very firm in php coding, how can I call this function from wfu_after_file_upload? Can you help me? 🙂

        I bought your pro plugin a few days before (5th May), because the free stuff allows the users delete their uploaded files (and there is no way to turn this off). But the free plugins (like “work the flow file uploader”) can rotate images based on EXIF.

        1. I added a snippet via the code snippet plugin as suggested in you former post (https://www.iptanus.com/filters-and-actions-of-wordpress-file-upload-plugin/#comment-18977). Please find my code below. But the code seems not to be used since my debug line “file_put_contents(…” is not called and the debug file not created. What shall I do to have the function to rotate the image called?
          Thanks

      2. Hey Nikolas
        Will it also be possible to include thumbnails in email-notifications, in order to have a small preview of the files that have been uploaded? I would be a great feature anyway 😉

        Regards Michael

        1. Hi, thumbnails do not work well in emails. There are some common methods of adding thumbnails in emails, however it is not certain that they will work. Are you the only receiver of email notifications? If yes, which email client do you use?

  • Hey
    I can upload most of the files but never a file called site-imedia.psd which is a 4 mb file. I don’t undestand…

    Here is my code:
    —-

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/files_upload/” uploadrole=”all” maxsize=”100″ uploadtitle=”Nom Fichier” uploadpatterns=”*.*” selectbutton=”Sélectionner” uploadbutton=”Envoi” successmessage=”Le fichier %filename% a bien été envoyé !” warningmessage=”Le fichier %filename% a généré des erreurs…recommencez” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”david.bolender@gmail.com” notifyheaders=”Vous avez reçu un fichier !” notifymessage=”Vous avez reçu un fichier !%n%%n%Expéditeur : %username%%n%Nom fichier : %filename%%n%Chemin : %filepath%”]

    1. please send me the files of the plugin…. it seems that there is a problem with white space characters at the end of some of these files….

  • I teach an html fundamentals class and want to be able to have the students upload all their files so that it does not interact with wordpress’ existing css and images, etc… in other words, a clear upload into an empty directory that does not refer to any other directory, i need them to learn basic ftp. How do i configure this program so i can do that?

    1. The students will upload the files from a WordPress webpage that the plugin will be installed? If yes, then you can set the plugin to upload the files in any directory, so that the students can access it using http://FTP…. can you give me more details?

    2. Will the students upload the files using the plugin? If yes, then the plugin can be configured to upload the files to any directory…. so that the students can then access through http://FTP…. can you give me some more details?

  • Hi there,

    I recently purchased your plugin and I’m struggling to see the same value that others boast about in previous comments. I have 3 major concerns/issues that I need help or would like to be addressed:

    1. Is there any way to modify a shortcode using the shortcode editor after you’ve left the editor and come back? Say for instance I have a fairly long shortcode that I need to make a few changes to but would prefer to use the editor to do so instead of manually to minimize mistakes. Will there be some type of “profile” feature soon to save various versions of shortcodes then be able to load and modify them later? I find that pretty necessary in my development efforts.

    2. Why are all file links relative to the server and not the web address? I’ve modified the base url a number of different ways and it still simply prepends this to the server url. This makes the “Add to Media Library” feature fairly useless because all the links are unusable since they reference http://mywebsite//myserver/uploads… etc. and I need that feature in particular to accomplish what I was looking to accomplish with my site.

    3. Is there any way to fully reset the fields of the editor to blank or default fields? Ever since I made my first shortcode, which went over smoothly, when I come back to the editor, it is full of “random” data in all of the fields that I can’t seem to get rid short of going to each field one by one and deleting them… Only for it to be refilled the moment I change another field or refresh the page. Example:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”%username%” uploadrole=”administrator,client” uploadpatterns=”*.pdf,*.xls,*.xlsx,*.doc,*.docx,*.odt,*.rtf,*.txt” chunk=”true” placements=”filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/filelist/message/progressbar” uploadtitle=”Upload Documents” selectbutton=”Select Document/Select Documents” uploadbutton=”Upload Document/Upload Documents” successmessage=”” warningmessage=”” errormessage=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client0″ waitmessage=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client1″ notifyrecipients=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client3″ notifymessage=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client4″ attachfile=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client5″ widths=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client6″ heights=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client7″ medialink=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client8″ postlink=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client9″]

    The only major thing modified about my site relative to this plugin is that I have a few extra user roles, such as “client”.

    If these things could be addressed, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely, a mildly frustrated developer.

    1. Hi Paulana

      1. A feature to compose and store shortcode states in on its way
      2. We did not included this initially for security reasons, however it is a reasonable request. For the moment, what you can do is construct the url of the file by yourself by using only the filename and prepending the url of the dir where the files are saved. An additional variable that will do so automatically is also on its way.
      3. random data means that there is a bug… we will have to check this… a shortcode composer reset function is also on its way….

      Thanks for this valuable info…. we will try to resolve these problems as soon as possible….

  • I’ve got the Pro version of your plugin installed and, in general, it’s worked quite well. However the client noticed today that it is no longer working, giving an undefined error whenever trying to upload a file. According to them, there has been no change in the site. I used the debug shortcode and got the following:

    Failed upload path: undefined
    fileupload:Session failed!

    Any idea what might cause the plugin to suddenly no longer work?

  • I just try again this plugin after abandoned for months because it did not work …
    Now it’s even worse!

    With the following code:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/clients/%username%/” uploadrole=”all” uploadpatterns=”*.rar, *.zip; *.wav, *.mp3, *.flac,*.png, *.jpg” maxsize=”99999″ placements=”filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar”]

    I get a white square and a “upload file” button. Anything else! Unable to send a file (no select button or drag & drop …)

    I use the 3.9.1 version of wordpress and WordPress version 2.4.2 File Upload (pro).

    Can you help me please?

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I do not have any idea how to use the Dimensions, please, where are the instructions?
    I’ll would like to change the size and color of the font that the user see using the Custom CSS: please, any tip or help will be appreciated.

  • Hi Nickolas,
    Where may I translate the label “No files have been selected!” that appears under the progress bars?
    Thanks, regards.

  • Hi, thanks for your good plugin, I’m using the pro version since a few months. I’ve one question: Is it possible to make the plugin’s file browser in the dashboard accessible for an editor?

  • I just installed the pro version and got the following error when i activated the plugin… Any info? Help? Please?

  • Hello, it seems that the uploader will show only if I am logged in to wordpress.

    In our website we are using a password protected page so only clients that know about the password can enter and upload files to us for review. But how can we let them see the uploader window without having them to log in to wordpress?

    Thanks,

  • Was using Standard (free version) but wanted to upload files larger than 50Mb so I purchased pro.

    When I installed pro I get error when I activate:
    Warning: include_once(/home/153/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/.svn): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/153/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 88

    Any ideas? It will still upload small files (<50Mb but no larger ones.
    Code is:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath="../ftp.com/ClientDropOff" maxsize="1000"]

  • OK installed new ZIP file and it does not give error when activated..

    but still cannot upload files larger than 50Mb.
    Turned on “Chunks” Shortcut is now :

    [wordpress_file_upload multiple=”false” dragdrop=”false” uploadpath=”../ftp.com/ClientDropOff” maxsize=”1000″ chunk=”true”]

  • plugin does not write / read special characters (ŚĆŁÓŃ) in filenames in Polish. And probably other non latin. This is is crucial in CV files. . Files are uploaded but special characters like ŚCŁÓŃ / śćółń are replaced with dashes “-”

    dit U use UTF8? or only latin?

  • Hello,

    I’m liking the plug-in so far, but I’m getting some errors that the upload has timed out for larger files. I read on this site that it could upload files of any size, regardless of the restrictions of the server, which is why I purchased it. Is there something I need to do on my end to increase the amount of time before it times out? I thought about editing the php.ini file, but it looks like this uses AJAX instead. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • How can I tell if I have the “pro” version installed? Does it show up as “pro” in the plugins list? I did purchase the “pro” version and have my receipt email, but I don’t seem to have the “pro” features any more.

  • I have noticed an issue whilst testing the file upload on my site on my ipad. When I click on the upload button, it only gives me the option to upload a photo, however, I want my users to be able to upload a pdf, mp3 or word document. (file upload works fine on mac) and I have also set the allowed file extensions as: all

    Can you have a look into this and try and fix this issue for iPad users?

    Thanks

    1. Hi, it requires some css customizations probably to show correctly, but its functionalities should not be affected…

  • Hi,

    I am having the same issue as other seem to have, with the extensions. When i upload certain files, its always saying; file not allowed, but when i change my shortcode so the extension of the problematic file comes first, it works, but then other filetypes fail…?
    And no matter what i do the size of the progress bar never changes, its very small.

    Everything else is working!
    The first point, regarding the extensions is very annoying and almost making the plugin useless at this point 🙁

    My shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all” uploadpatterns=”*.zip, *.jpg, *.JPG, *.jpeg, *.JPEG, *.ZIP” maxsize=”100″ placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/message” selectbutton=”Kies Bestand” uploadbutton=”Upload Bestand” successmessage=”Bestand %filename% succesvol geüpload” warningmessage=”Bestand %filename% succesvol geüpload, let op er waren wat problemen.” errormessage=”Bestand %filename% is niet geüpload” waitmessage=”Moment, bestand %filename% wordt geüpload” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”someone@somesite.nl” notifysubject=”Er is een bestand geupload naar de site van voetbalstars” notifymessage=”Hoi User,%n%%n%Het volgende bestand; %filename% is geüpload naar somesite!%n%%n%Met vriendelijke groet,%n%Somesite.nl” widths=”progressbar:600″ heights=”progressbar:200″]

    1. The full url would be http://www.your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/file.mp3, however you cannot have access to the file like this from the browser for security reasons. For the moment the plugin does not have an option to expose files publicly like this. Only admins can download the uploaded files through the Dashboard. If you want to allow your users to download the files, then you can combine the plugin with a third-party plugin called WPFilebase.

      Let me know if you need more info about it….

      Nickolas

      1. Hello Nickolas. Thank you for answering to my question 🙂

        Actually we are under one project which we currently build an application that required the full url to be access by the application.

        The application later will only view the file.mp3 by using the full url – http://www.your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/file.mp3

        Its means that user only can view the file.mp3, in order to view the file.mp3, the full url is required. The file only will be shown to the user, not the url.

        I don’t know if its still not save to exposes the url that can only be see by the admin.

        Do you think i can still can get the full url for the file uploaded?

        Thanks 🙂

  • hi, i have buy the pro version, but i have problem with the upload of big file, at the end of upload i receive this message:

    Errore! Impossibile caricare il file
    Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server. Please contact the administrator.
    The upload time limit of PHP directive max_input_time is preventing the upload of big files. PHP directive max_input_time limit is: -1 seconds. To increase the limit change the value of the directive from php.ini. If you don’t have access to php.ini, then add the following line to your .htaccess file: php_value max_input_time 500 (adjust the time according to your needs) The file .htaccess is found in your website root directory (where index.php is found). If your don’t have this file, then create it. If this does not work either, then contact your domain provider.

    I have ask to my provider and can’t change the php.ini
    Have try the .htaccess but is not working

    What i can do?

  • Hi, is there any chance i put this plugin on only one page, because every time i create a new page it is shonw like the shortcode is in it, its even shown on the home page.

  • Administrators can view and manage the uploaded files from the File Browser that exists inside the plugin’s Settings inside Dashboard? Im not seeing any control panel in my dashboard in WP 3.9.2 please advise,

    Conor

  • Is there anyone who can help with this plugin installation for WordPress 3.9.2 as its not showing in the dashboard?

    thanks,

    Conor

  • we are using youir wordpress file upload pro, but.. now when we try to upload files it says upload failed, we have tried changing settings etc but no luck, any ideas?

  • Thanks for a very good plug-in which addresses a lot of security matters.
    I’ve revised wfu_processfiles.php to allow for %userdataXXX% to be included in the redirect link since I needed to pass up an additional field with an upload (I’m just using single file). I then use ($_GET) at the redirect page to pull %fileame% and %userdataXXX%. This is a small but useful feature improvement you might want to include in your next release. Also note that your website documentation says %userdataXXX% commence at “0” but in fact your code is written so that indexes start at “1”.

  • Hello. Is filesize in kb, mb, or… iDoes [wordpress_file_upload maxsize=”1000″] allow 1 gb uploads? Thank you.

  • I am trying to get the actions to work. What should be in the $args parameter for the add_filter as I am pretty sure my code is not being executed.

  • Just purchased the professional version of this plugin. I’ve found this plugin to be a nightmare to figure out. None of the “?” symbols display any help or explanation. Upload feature from shortcode is totally misaligned on page. Can’t get plugin to work. Where are the step-by-step instructions showing how this plugin works? Where’s the support portal? Is there one?

    I’d like to please request a refund of money paid.

  • Hi from Madrid!

    How can I remove js&css in header ?

    remove action for wordpress-file-upload on HOME page

    add_action(‘wp_head’,’my_conditional_script’,0);

    function my_conditional_script() {
    if (is_front_page() || is_home()) {

    remove_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, array(‘???????’);
    remove_action(‘wp_print_scripts’, array(‘???????’);
    remove_action(‘wp_head’, array(‘???????’);
    remove_action(‘wp_footer’, array(‘???????’);

    }
    }

    Thank You.

  • Hi its been one month now and no response to my query, we have purchased the pro version but it doesnt appear in the dashboard, is there any support available for this?

    Conor

  • Can your plugin work in the wordpress admin media library?

    We need the admins on a site we created to be able to upload video files larger then the filesize supported by their host.

    Your pro plugin says it support large file size uploads, by all the documents only discuss shortcodes for frontend uploads and don’t mention anything about admin/backend uploads.

    Thanks!
    -Josh

    1. Unfortunately the plugin works only for the frontend pages. However if you put it in a page and add the medialink=”true” attribute in the shortcode, then anything you upload will be added to the Media library of the website. You can also allow only admins to upload files and only specific file types (e.g. videos). The Pro version supports very large files (has been tested for files over 1GB).

      Best Regards

  • gettign msg: Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server. Please contact the administrator.

    i have tried everytyhing on internet… and nothing

  • Hello,

    Is it possible to automatically list the subfolders wich are present on the server in the dropdown list ?
    This because new folders can be added in the uploadfolder and I don’t want to add subfolders manually each time and then create a new shortcode.

    Thnx in advance.

    1. Unfortunately this is not possible with the current version. It will be added in a newer version. I have already taken a note on that.

      Best Regards

  • I want the full path of the file directory as an active link in the email notification for one click downloading of files uploaded.

    How can I make that happen?

    Also even though multiple files are added when you click on select, is there a way to add multiple form files to select files but just have one upload button to upload multiple files?

    1. I suppose what you mean is to have more that one plugin instances on the same page, but with a single upload button? I had not thought of that. It is not possible for the moment, but I will see how it can be done.

      Nickolas

  • When an ampersand (&) is typed in an userdata-field and then the userdata-field is included in the notification mail, the text after the &-character is missing.

    Also it would be nice to select between text/email(with validation)/textarea fileds.

    Best regards

    1. Hi,

      this is a bug. I will take a note to fix it in the next version. Your suggestion for more field types is already in the todo list. Thanks for that.

      Nickolas

  • THis extension is not secure !!!
    i’ve tested the free module and uploaded a .php file without any problem !!
    no test on executable files on server side … be careful ! it does not inspire trust …

  • Input fields are not visible on updated pages. The widget is installed and activated. The shortcode is placed on the page. When testing in WP the input boxes are visible. After updating the page in WP and closing out of WP, the boxes are not visible. What am I missing?…

    1. Hi,

      what do you mean when you say “testing in WP”? As an admin? If you are not admin, then you need to set the attribute uploadrole to make the plugin visible to other users as well.

      Nickolas

  • Get the following error message when I try to upload files using WordPress File Upload:

    “Upload failed! Permission denied to write to target folder.”

    Running WordPress on a Windows server. The upload function was working a few weeks ago, and I haven’t made any changes to the site. Not sure what to look for to fix.

    1. Please check the uploadpath attribute to see if it is correct. Please also check the permissions of the upload folder. Perhaps something changed there.

      Nickolas

  • I’m really disappointed that I bought this plugin because it doesn’t work = there’s no file upload button showing on the site and the instructions are non-existent. I have the same problems as many others commenting on this site. and unless it can be fixed I want my money back too! Lots of wasted time installing/uninstalling the plugin and in reading the supposed support page

    LetitiaO

    1. Hi,

      this plugin has been tested exhaustively for more than two years in various WordPress configurations and seems to be working fine in most cases and environments. There is a detailed list of instructions, which covers all the options that this plugin has, however it may not be so straightforward for all users, for which I apologize. I strive to create more user-friendly instructions time by time.

      Nevertheless, perhaps your problem has to do with plugin configuration. Please send me your shortcode to check.

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, after you install it in your WordPress website you need to put the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload] inside a page content (by using the page editor from your Dashboard). Then, the plugin will show up in that page when you load it.

      The plugin takes options by extending the shortcode. For instance, if you want all users to be able to see the plugin working (and not only administrators) you can set [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all”]. There is a detailed list and instructions of the plugin’s options in the support page. You can also create more complex shortocodes by using the Shortcode Composer of the plugin, a visual tool to help you configure the plugin just the way you want it.

      Nickolas

  • Great plugin. And extensive help-pages. Now if only I was an engineer and could actually understand what I’m reading.

    1. I cannot get the redirect to work, not even when using a full path with http://. The file gets uploaded succesfully, but then the page just refreshes.

    2. I would like to use ftp, but cannot figure out how to write the credentials in the shortcode-form. Not a clue…

  • Possible this plugin is not being updated. Two messages on the contact page resulted in no response. Last comment over a month ago.
    http://standbyadventures.com/tst-upload/

    I have used the generated short code and does not work:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”2″ uploadpath=”tst” showtargetfolder=”true” adminmessages=”true” placements=”filename/title/confirmbox/captcha/message/selectbutton” uploadtitle=”File Upload” selectbutton=”Upload button/” uploadbutton=”Upload button caption/”]

  • Hello,

    How can I send email from specific address? Currently email is coming from “wordpress@[domain_name].

    Regards,
    Andrew

    1. To change the sender name and email you can set email headers by using the notifyheaders attribute inside the shortcode.

      Nickolas

  • What does this mean:?

    It won’t activate

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wfu_enqueue_frontpage_scripts() (previously declared in /home/23464/5440/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/wordpress_file_upload.php:65) in /home/23464/5440/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 73

    1. I worked out why it was saying error (i still had free version activated)

      _ but the upload plugin does not seem to be visable on iphone.

      Do i need to change some of the code to allow this??

      and how can I set it so all files get emailed to me?

  • Hello,
    Just bought plugin but it I am missing one feature:

    You can create additional fields that the user must fill in along with the uploaded file.

    So how do I do that user MUST fill in as no the fields appear but users can leave them blank. Thank you.

    1. You can declare user fields as required by preceding an asterisk before the the label, e.g. userdatalabel=”Name/*Email” will create two fields one with label Name and one with label Email. Email field will be required, so if the user does not fill it then he will not be able to upload the files (and the field will turn red).

      Nickolas

  • I’d really like to see this plugin work, but I can’t seem to get it to work for the life of me. I keep getting

    Upload failed!
    File not allowed.

    It is a jpg file and only 16kb. I’ve tired .jpg, jpg. I’ve tired the png also and get the same error message.

    What am I missing here?

  • Hello,

    How does this plugin deliver files from client computer to the server? Does it use secure protocol for file transfer?

    Thanks,

    1. Hi,

      For the moment there is no secure connection used (like https). You are the first who asks, so I will put it in the todo list for future upgrades.

  • I have purchased the Pro version but when choose to view the settings, there is nothing there at all. The options do appear with the free version

    1. Hi, your proposal for enabling the captcha only for guests (if I got this right) is an interesting one. I will implement it in a new release.

      Regarding captcha, the plugin uses the Google Recaptcha, which has become very difficult and user-unfriendly. I am implementing more security options, visible and non-visible, as well as new types of captcha, however this will take some time.

      Best Regards

  • Hi,

    I noticed your plugin works fine in chrome and IE.
    Firefox ver 35 the select files button doesn’t function.

    We have the paid version and I took over for another developer.
    Baffled why something like a select files button doesn’t open a dialog box to select images on a local computer.

    Jim

    1. This is the short code

      do_shortcode(‘[wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”3″ uploadpath=”uploads/userportfolios%userid%img” uploadrole=”portfolio-contributor” uploadpatterns=”*.bmp,*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.gif,*.png” createpath=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true” uploadtitle=”Upload Portfolio Image” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Portfolio” medialink=”true”]’);

      The drag feature works in all three browsers. Seems to be the file upload button doesn’t work in FF v35 using windows 7 Home Premium SP 1

  • Hi, I really like your file upload plugin.
    Question, if I upload 3 files at one time.
    How to I capture what the file names are uploaded
    so when I submit a form I can insert one record for each of the files uploaded? I tried the $_SESSION variable, it only lists the first file uploaded.

  • Hi there I have been using your plugin on one of my clients sites. In order for candidates (its a job site) to upload their CV and have it forward to the main business contact.

    It was working perfectly but now for some reason the email notifications aren’t coming through at all?

    I have tried changeing the file extensions that are allowed
    Changeing the email address that is forwards to
    The filesize limit

    And none of these things seem to have made any difference.

    Could you tell me how to fix this issues please as the email notifications are the main necessity for the plugin use.

    Thanks

    1. Hi,

      Are the files uploaded normally? Have you done any changes to your website (addition of plugins or change of theme)?

      Nickolas

  • I’ve installed and uninstalled twice and every time the plugin reports that the same file name has been uploaded successfully no matter which file I choose. Is this a known bug?

      1. hi, no this is not a known bug, it is the first time mentioned, could you give me some more details, like browser, WordPress theme?

        Regards

        Nickolas

        1. Consistant error in IE 11 and Firefox 35.01 so far. We are using a custom theme based on Bootstrap. I am also seeing “Notice: Undefined index: wfu_check_refresh_1…\wordpress_file_upload.php on line 261” error if that’s helpful.

    Please help me, I relly need this plugin.

  • For some reason I was able to upload a .ipa file even though I am restricting the uploads extension to only these. I upgraded to version 2.5.1 and it allowed the upload.
    uploadpatterns=”*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png, *.mov, *.avi, *.mp3, *.mp4″

    Also, the userdatalabel=”rename me” doesn’t seem to allow me an opportunity to rename the file.

    Lastly, I purchased the Pro version last year but when I updated to 2.5.1 it says my edition is Free and that I should consider upgrading to the Pro version.
    Thank you

  • Is there something wrong with your plugin. I all of a sudden started getting a fileupload error based on session

    Wondering if it has to do with this.

    http://services.iptanus.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

    Upload failed! Unknown error.
    Failed upload path: another_home_01.jpg

    1. Can you please send me your shortcode? Normally, wfu_token_4 and session_token should be identical. Are you using more than one instances of the plugin in the same page?

      1. Nickolas,

        Wasn’t your fault. I put in a tab plugin and incorporated your file upload plugin with slide deck plugin underneath to see the pictures uploaded in a gallery presentation. slidedeck was creating another session. Had to pull out the short code plugin for slidedeck.

        Your session comment lead me to the answer.

  • Is this ever checked????? This is the third post for support!!! If you are going to take money then at least monitor the support questions!!!

    Here is the short code:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”2″ uploadpath=”” showtargetfolder=”true” adminmessages=”true” placements=”filename/title/confirmbox/captcha/message/selectbutton” uploadtitle=”File Upload” selectbutton=”Upload button/” uploadbutton=”Upload button caption/”]

    here is the page:http://standbyadventures.com/tst-upload/

    could you please let me know a solution!!!!

  • Hello, there is a way to delete multiple files from file browser panel? Actually I can only delete it one by one.

    Thank you : – )

    1. Hi,

      not for the moment, you have to delete them one by one… since you asked, I will put it in the todo list for the next release…

      Best Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi,

    why didn’t you include the following strings

    * Text Domain: wordpress-file-upload
    * Domain Path: /languages/

    to your plugin header (without these you seem not to follow the core rules)!?

    Please update and fix!
    Thanks!
    JK

  • Hi Nickolas,

    wrote you an email with 2 Questions, maybe those are good hints for other users…

    1. How to add timestamp to every uploaded file, not only for duplicates?
    2. How to add Additional Form Field to the URL on redirects (And limit input to specific count of characters)

    Thanks!

    1. Hi, I will try to issue today an article about how you can add timestamp or in general modify the filename before the upload happens.

      I did not quite understand the 2nd one. Can you please be more specific?

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    I searched for a good plugin for upload pics. I tested a lot of plugins, but File Upload seems to be the best. So I purchase the plugin.

    I understood to late, that the plugin slows down my website extrem.
    Without the plugin the site needs 1,2 sec. for loading. With File Upload it takes more than 4 sec. Have you any idea why?

    I shut down all other Plugins, but is was the same problem.
    Hope you can help me, cause File Upload is very nice to use.

    Greetings,
    Andreas

    1. Hi, I haven’t faced similar problems in the past… please contact me via email to help you…

      Nickolas

    1. Hi,

      Unfortunately you cannot do this without modifying the plugin code. I have other similar requests regarding email notifications, so I plan to add a filter in the next release that will allow configuring the email components (header, recipients, subject, body).

      Nickolas

  • Hi,

    I am getting the error that some other folks have been getting:

    “File background3.png not uploaded
    Upload failed! Unknown error.
    Failed upload path: background3.png
    fileupload:”

    Permissions are fine, tried with both regular and FTP method – no luck.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Dimitry

  • A follow up lo my previous post –

    When I disabled Captcha, the error went away. Is there a reason the captcha would fail and cause an upload error even though the captcha response was correct?

    Thanks,
    Dimitry

  • hi,
    is it possible zip file after upload multiple files and them send by email the new file name?

    Es. i upload 5 file
    3 Pdf
    1 Jpg
    1 Bmp
    After upload it in automatic create a zip file with newfile.zip and add in a body message this file name.

    Tx a lot

    1. Yes this would be possible I think using the wfu_after_file_upload action of the plugin, but it would require some php coding…

      Nickolas

  • Hi there, and thanks for a great plugin! I’m testing it out for a project – if it works for me, then I’ll be buying the Pro version to use the gallery integration. All functions beautifully for me, apart from one thing: the redirect attribute stops working as soon as I add the notifyrecipients attribute. My shortcode is:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadtitle=”Upload your image here!” selectbutton=”choose image” singlebutton=”false” uploadpath=”enlightenment_image_uploads” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.png” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” redirect=”true” redirectlink=”http://vizchonk.com.gridhosted.co.uk/?p=16″ userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Name (required)/*Email (required)/*School (required)” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”name@website.com, name@website2.com” notifysubject=”An EnLightenment image has been uploaded!” notifymessage=”Image %filename% has been received from Name:%userdata1%, Email:%userdata2%”, School:%userdata3%” attachfile=”false”]

    This doesn’t perform the redirect. As soon as I remove notifyrecipients=”name@website.com, name@website2.com
    then the redirect attribute works fine. Weird.

    Any ideas? Thanks again!

    1. Further to the above: with debug mode on I get

      Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for any in xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_processfiles.php on line 137

      Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for any in xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_processfiles.php on line 153

      I take out notifyrecipients=”name@website.com, name@website2.com” then I don’t get this debug message…

  • With the last version:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wfu_enqueue_frontpage_scripts() (previously declared in \\WAGNER\WWWROOT$\e2937bc3b.hostnd\htdocs\www\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-file-upload-pro\wordpress_file_upload.php:69) in \\WAGNER\WWWROOT$\e2937bc3b.hostnd\htdocs\www\wp-content\plugins\wp-file-upload\wordpress_file_upload.php on line 69

    Thanks

  • I was looking for something that replaces some ftp functionality in my wordpress site..

    so that I can make the base directory different for different users.. so they can only upload into their directories..

    will this do that?

    1. yes you can make the users upload to separate directories, according to their username, e.g. if uploadpath=”/uploads/inbox/%username%” and the user nickolas uploads a file, this file will go to uploads/inbox/nickolas folder inside wp-content folder of your wordpress website.

    1. Hi, not for the moment. You have to combine it with another plugin, like WPFilebase. This feature is under development.

  • Hello man,

    I have a couple of questions.
    1. Does this plugin support drop down boxes for the user to select a category the file should go in?

    2. Can it be configured to work with Amazon S3?

    3. Can it work with very large files (600MB+) eg…uploading in chunks?

    Thanks for your time.

    1. Hi,

      1. Yes it does, check askforsubfolders and subfoldertree attributes of the shortcode
      2. I do not know, I haven’t tried, I do not find a reason not to, you can check with the free versiob
      3. Yes but the Pro version

      Best regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    I use pro version.
    Captcha is very very difficult. I had to passive.
    This plug-in is forcing the database.
    Doing continuous operation table. Forexample:

    ALTER TABLE wp_wfu_userdata CHANGE COLUMN property property VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL
    ALTER TABLE wp_wfu_log CHANGE COLUMN filehash filehash VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL

    This plugin when I active, server load is much higher.

  • I am working on my website and I am NOT a developer. My question is how do you allow the customer to change or delete the file before uploading it?

    And second question– how do you extend the field boxes? I see dimension button, but no directions on how to make the fields longer? Your help would be much appreciated in simple terms, as I said, I am NOT a developer. Thank you.

    Lu

    1. Hi,

      If you are using the free version, then the customer can change the file by just selecting another one. If you are using the Pro version (so multiple files can be uploaded at once), the selected files are shown on a list and there is an (X) button next to each file for deleting it.

      Regarding the field boxes, the plugin’s instructions mention how to change their width (and height). The plugin has a Visual Composer in the Dashboard, from where you can configure the shortcode as you want and set any options you want without requiring any develop skills. You can try it out (it is included in both free and pro version of the plugin).

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Great, thanks! I installed the pro version and the email notifications are not being generated to my gmail address. I am using the Pure & Simple 1.0.8 by StyledThemes.com. Upload browser – Firefox 16.0.2.

        Thoughts?

        Thank you,
        Rachel

  • I purchased the pro version and the client site I have it installed on says people are having issues reading the captcha. Is there a way of having easier words to read or implementing a different captcha? Thanks.

    1. Hi,

      this is a known issue. The plugin uses Google Recaptcha version 1, which has become very difficult. We are preparing a new release that will use Google Recaptcha version 2, which is much easier. It will be available in some days.

  • I want to download the Pro version, but I’m playing around with the free version first to make sure it can do everything I want. The most important feature I need is a confirmation message or even a redirect after the file is uploaded that gives the absolute URL to the file, not just the file path. Is that possible?

  • Dear Nick,

    Plugin looks great however as others have mentioned the administrator notification seems to be finicky to setup. Care to elaborate? Great plugin none the less!

  • Getting this error:
    [17-Apr-2015 18:27:28 America/Denver] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function site_url() in /home1/hideouti/public_html/worldwidehideout/nuovo/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_constants.php on line 3

  • Hi just i’ve a little question, i know that i’m really elementary in wordpress.
    Can i have a notification or message after each upload for the admin or other users?
    tnx a lot for your answer

    1. Yes this is possible, check notification emails in the plugin’s instructions

      Best Regards

      Nickolas Bossinas

  • Hello,

    On my site is use WordPress File Upload Pro and i like it very much.
    Everything works fine except there is one setting i do not understand.

    Memmbers can upload files after login and when they uploaded the files they get an email. As admin i want to get an Cc of that email. I can’t get that working.
    These are my settings for Email Notifications:
    – Email Recipients : %usermail%
    – Email Headers : “Content-type: text/html”

    I tried to put my admin e-mailadres in both fields but i think i am doing something wrong.

    Can you show my where to put my admin e-mailadres so i get a Cc of the mail.

    Thanks.

  • When I try to edit the Plugins, I keep getting this error:

    “Failed to delete the shortcode because the contents of the page changed. Try again to delete it.”

    SO, I try again, as indicated and this error appears again. I have tried different browsers on a Mac and same thing happens with all of them.

    1. The above error is when I try to delete a plugin. THIS is the error I get when I try to EDIT a plugin:

      “Failed to edit the shortcode because the contents of the page changed. Try again to edit the shortcode.”

      1. I am using Elegant Theme’s Divi 2.4 – with the newest version of WordPress, WooCommerce, Divi theme and all the plugins.

  • I just purchased this plug-in. When I tried to install it I got a fatal error:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wfu_enqueue_frontpage_scripts() (previously declared in /home/olgamast/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/wordpress_file_upload.php:71) in /home/olgamast/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 79

    Please advise.

  • I note in the readme file:
    * It produces notification messages and e-mails.
    * You can create additional fields that the user must fill in along with the uploaded file.

    Where do I find instructions for implementing these?

      1. But now I have another question. I can see where the uploaded file ends up, but where do the other fields end up? I thought they would be in the notification email.

  • And another one. Can I have two different notifications:
    1. a confirmation to the uploader
    2. an alert to the site owner that a file has been uploaded?

  • And another one: can I integrate this with Paypal? We are running a competition. I need it so that the form only submits if the payment is made. Possible? Please say yes.

  • Is there a way to lengthen the input field boxes for user inputs? I have added Company Name, Contact Email Address, Contact Phone Number, etc. I’d like the accompanying input box to be different lengths since they are currently quite short and look strange. Thank you.

  • Changing files to not be a required field?
    I would like to allow sending the message with empty files field. How can I achieve this?

    PS. I am using PRO

  • I’ve tried free version and it was working correctly. I bought pro version yesterday and after install, it doesn’t work.

    Whatever I try, I have error “No result from remote server”.

    Can you tell me what can be wrong?

    1. It looks like the problem is with google recaptcha. Here is the error I’ve seen in php error log:

    1. It seems that your server does not hold session data. They are empty. Maybe this is a security setting in your website or from your host provider?

      1. Hi Nickolas
        I checked it with the provider. They think it is not an issue from server side.
        The think it’s about the path.
        Hm…

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Is it possible to change the colors of labels? my background is dark and I barely can read them… Thanks!

    1. Yes you can with css. You have the free or Pro version? I can show you how if you send me the page you have the plugin.

  • Hello,
    I just bought your Pro Version. I implemented the shortcode and the upload functions well. But I can’t enter the editor. I deactivated my Popup-Blocker, but every time I want to enter the editor, I only see the message “loading visual editor” and nothing else happens. Please help me with this issue.

  • Your instructions say
    “If you want to customize the plugin (define the upload path, use file filter, change title and button text etc.) then you can use attributes. Go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload and then press Shortcode Composer.”

    But I can’t find a Shortcode Composer Button.
    I have PRO version 2.7.5

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Thanks for creating an amazing plugin. Am planning to buy the professional version. Wanted to resolve couple of queries before that:

    1. Is there a way to drop the uploaded file inside a new folder named after the user datalabel (additional data fields of Name/Email) input by the user. Can you recommend a hook?
    2. Is there a way to port the file straight to amazon S3 bucket. Again can you recommend a hook here

    Thanks and look forward to hearing back.

    Thanks,

  • Hi and thanks for a great plugin! But I am having one problem I hope you can help with. When I try to use ReCaptcha V2 and click the checkbox the little circle just spins and spins and the green checkmark never appears. I talked to Google and they said the problem is in the plugin. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  • When I tried to upload a file I got the following error although my JavaScript and cookies are enabled in Firefox.

    ERROR: Sorry, there was an error. Please be sure JavaScript and Cookies are enabled in your browser and try again.

    Also When I Log out as admin and go to my upload page nothing is there for uploading and even my gallery pics are missing….Please Help..I bought the Pro Version and so far it hasn’t worked yet. Just a little frustrated!

  • Hi Nickolas,

  • I bought the pro version today, but it doesn’t show up in german.
    The free version showed up in german.
    De-/Activation again didn’t help.
    What else can I do?

  • I don’t see a way to disable the automatic link to the shortcode editor. This plugin has exactly what I need to provide simple upload tools to my non-techie admins, but I don’t want to confuse them with the shortcode editor link. Is there some way to remove it other than by editing the plugin, which I’d rather avoid to keep a vanilla install? I’d think that others would also want this capability. It’s easy enough to get to the shortcode editor via the normal admin route, but the link really doesn’t belong on my easy-to-use admin pages. Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Hello,
    I would like to be able to make the file submission form appear on a users frontend web page for making WP posts. I intend to add the shortcode in PHP file, but the files that are uploaded dont attach to the specific post. How can i make the link between the form and the post by not using the admin interface ? Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi, if you add postlink=”true” in the shortcode, then the uploaded file will be attached in the post from where it was uploaded…

      1. Hi,
        Thank you for your great widget.
        I have one problem : I want to display automatically in the page the file wich has been upload from that page.
        So I add postlink=true.
        The file is correctly uploaded in the Media library but not displayed.
        Any idea to solve this problem ?
        Have a good evening (from France !)

        1. Hi,

          The plugin includes a gallery feature to display the uploaded images that have been attached to a page (using postlink) right below the upload form, by adding gallery=”true” inside the shortcode.

          Another way to display the attached images is to use the [gallery] shortcode of WordPress (instructions here), or another gallery plugin.

          Nickolas

          1. Sorry but I did not understand. I try to insert the gallery=”true” inside the short code, but nothing is displayed. Is that with only the pro version ?

            By the way, I did reedit the french translation of your widget who was quite wild 😉 If you want I can give it to you. Just send me an e-mail and I will send the two files.

  • Hello, I want to download larger files 100mb through the “File Browser” plugin itself. If I download files smaller to 100mb, if any problem downloading. I can upload files up to 150megas. And click the button to download if the file exceeds 100MB, does not make me anything, they can help me, thanks?

      1. Hi Nicolas,

        we talk with my server provider, and we have seen that the wordpress need more memory_limit (MB)in php configuration.
        Now I have the 264MB memory_limit, but if we go up to 512MB you can download the file.
        The technician told me that 150MB download using too many resources. For now we will use this option. Thank you too.

  • Hi, I purchased the pro version for a client site, they want to accept CV/resumes via this tool, all installed and working, but I am wondering what is the best way for my client to access the files and have them locally?
    i.e. will i just get them to install filezilla ?

    nice plugin, worked straight out of the box 🙂

    1. The plugin contains a file browser for administrators in the Dashboard, from where the admin can view, edit, delete and download the files.

      There is also a very flexible File List viewer in the Pro version. It can be configured to be visible only to admins and show all the uploaded files.

      Nickolas

      1. Thanks Nick,
        if I do not want to grant WP ‘admin’ rights to the client (ie. keep them away from the backend) is filezilla (or similar) the next best alternative?
        tom

        1. for doing what? view or download of uploaded files? with the Pro version you can have a file list viewer in the front-end as well (from where files can also be downloaded).

          Nickolas

          1. sorry, thought it was working but I am unable to download or delete, ‘download’ and ‘delete’ are appearing under the file names – but nothing happens when i click on either of them :/
            any ideas to how i can fix
            Thanks
            Tom

  • The 21 September plugin update gives an error during installation.

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in FILEPATH/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 1548

    1. Seems that this happens for php versions prior to 5.3. I will issue an update right away to cope with this issue…

  • I have purchased the pro version and had my developer try to increase the size of the “Message” field input without success. I would like the “Message” to be at least 3 lines high and allow the text to wrap. If I adjust “height” field I can make the box taller, but it does not allow for multiple lines of input. If you can provide code, I can implement. Thank you.

  • Is it possible to connect this plugin to a Dropbox account? So the files are uploaded from the site and directly into a wordpress account and not just my website server?

  • Hi,
    my problem was http 500 – internal server error in the version 3.3.1.

    I prefer the 2.5.5 version for me is the best does not bring any errors, at least for me.

    Only needed improvements as I will indicate below:

    The “Go to Main Menu” button could disappear and the menu could be always there is more intuitive and the customer and faster access options

    Regarding the very good shortcut even in the latest version I saw, but should have this structure also free if the customer create a php page for part by ftp as in version 2.5.5, which does not depend only just up the wordpress pages I should have the two possibilities.

    Option “View Log” should have the option to delete each line if the admin is intended to remove the file.

    With correcting two errors mentioned in 2.5.5 version
    And implemented the new features

    is there an easy way to catch or handle when the “upload progress” has been finished successfully? I would like to execute another php action, exactly after the success message has been displayed.

    Thank you very much.

  • Im new to writing plugins but cant get any of the filters to hook.

    Any Ideas?

    function wfu_before_file_upload_handler($file_path, $file_unique_id) {
    echo ‘WORKS’;
    return $file_path;}

    add_shortcode(‘shortcode’, function() {
    add_filter(‘wfu_before_file_upload’, ‘wfu_before_file_upload_handler’, 10, 2);
    });

    It never echos out ‘WORKS’… why is this?

    Many Thanks

  • Hi,
    I just purchased the pro version and it seems to work great. however, I’m getting two upload fields on the front-end of my site even though there is only one shortcode on my page. I tried uninstalling the plugin and went back to the page I had the shortcode on. When I did this, it was showing 2 shortcodes. When I re-install, it shows 1 shortcode again, however, 2 upload forms on the page. Thoughts?

  • Thank you for this plugin – it does everything we need and does it well. I did receive some warnings when I tried to reset the log (although it did end up clearing the log correctly):

    Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_admin.php on line 389 and defined in /wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1210

    Thought you’d want to know.

  • Thank you for your marvellous plugin
    I am testing the free version 3.4.0
    WP 3.4.1… 64bit…. PHP 5.4.45

    The plugin is working marvellously, with some problems however and can be seen at the bottom of page http://www.egremonttowncouncil.co.uk/contact/

    I have uploaded small and larger test files (PDFs & docx) and I receive an email direct to me with the attachment.

    However; the form that has been created places itself over any details below the the form unless I enter a whole load of page breaks below the short code in WP admin.

    I have tried placing or before and after the short code with no success.

  • Hello,

    I am using sort-code “[wordpress_file_upload]”.

    I am getting error on JS console “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘reset’ of null”.

    I have also enabled debug mode but it doesn’t show any thing. On page after click on upload button, it shows error “Upload failed! Unknown error.”

    Any suggestions? what may cause this error, how can I get this to work?

    Thanks

  • Hello:

    Is possible to add custom variables for sending them by email? I collect some data in the register form that is saved in wp_user_meta table. How can I send this by email?

    I tried to use get_user_meta wordpress function directly in the array (wordpress_file_upload.php) and define it some other php (wfu_attributes.php I think…)

    Thank you.

  • I’m using WordPress File Upload Pro to allow website members to upload photos. (Great plugin by the way. Only one I found that appears to work on all devices). After upload I want to resize the images and have worked out that I should use wfu_after_file_upload action.
    I have php code to do this that takes image location and destination. What I can’t work out is what $changable_data & $additional_data should be? i.e. how do I pass the uploaded files to wfu_after_upload?
    Also, where should I be calling wfu_after_upload?
    Any clues would be much appreciated.

  • I have the free version of the plugin and I have it working properly, but it is only visible in Firefox and Chrome. The form is not visible in Internet Explorer or Safari. Can you advise?

  • Can you explain how to enable resume. If I experience connection drop the upload does note resume. It starts over from the beginning…

    Is this the correct channel to ask support?

  • I’ve had this plugin working without error since June. Today it began failing. You can upload a file once without error, but if you try to upload a second file, it just hangs and never completes. I upgraded to the latest version, but the issue persists.

    Please advise.

  • We are currently using the pro version of your plugin which is working perfectly apart from we olny require the customer to upload the following files so i have set the files allowed to: *.zip,*.pdf,*.ai,*.tiff,*.tif,*.sit,*.doc,*.psd,*.jpeg,*.jpg,*.eps,* this doesn’t appear to have worked as you can upload any filetype.

    Also a comment from our customer a progress bar would be good as when uploading a large file you can not see how much has uploaded maybe this could be looked in future update.

  • Hi,

    I’ve correctly installed the plugin. Everything is working fine except the dropbox feature. It doesn’t keep the directory tree and uploads only the files.

    Any suggestion?

  • I am using WooCommerce and have a product setup with variations. Users need to upload files as part of this. Can this plugin allow me to do that? How do I link it to the product?

  • Hi,

    I have a problem.

  • Hi,

    I have purchased you plugin, good stuff.

    How can I integrate already existing uplaods with it? I’d like to make them appear on file lists but it looks like only uploads performed via the plugin appear there.

    1. Hi, unfortunately this is not possible fort he moment, however I will take a note to see how it can be done

  • Hi,
    2 features that I need:
    1) Auto rename uploaded file to a fixed file name – let the user upload an image and discard original picture name (and save it as avater.jpg)
    2) Auto pre-creation of path – make the plugin create the path automatically without the user actually uploading anything… (so that the path will be created, waiting empty for user to upload files).
    Does the pro version support any of these?
    Thank you!

  • I just downoaded the WP File Upload plug in and installed and activated it. I have WP version 4.4.1 – I select the page that I want the uploader installed on the main tab – and nothing shows up for the short code. Is it compatible with this version of WP?

  • Hi

    I have UPload Pro and was working good until I changed my wp site URL (address url and site url are different now). Everything on the site works except the wp upload plugin. I get the error “Upload failed;unknown error”. Here is the shortcode. Thanks

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”/uploads/custom_store/%userdata3%/%userdata5%” captcha=”true” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.bmp,*.gif,*.png” maxsize=”10″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” placements=”subfolders/userdata/title/filename+selectbutton/filelist/message/captcha/uploadbutton” uploadtitle=”Images” selectbutton=”Select Image (or drag and drop)/Select Images (or drag and drop)” uploadbutton=”Submit/Submit” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”XXXXXXX,%userdata3%” notifysubject=”custom order-%userdata5%” notifymessage=”Custom Order Request%n%%n%Name:%userdata1%%n%Location:%userdata2%%n%Email:%userdata3%%n%Phone:%userdata4%%n%Title:%userdata5%%n%Description:%userdata6%%n%Materials:%userdata7%%n%Budget:%userdata8%%n%” attachfile=”true” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Name|t:text|s:left|r:1|a:0|p:inline|d:/City,State,Country|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:right|d:/Your Email|t:email|s:left|r:1|a:1|v:1|p:right|d:|g:0/Phone Number|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:right|d:/Custom Order Title|t:text|s:left|r:1|a:0|p:right|d:/Description|t:multitext|s:left|r:1|p:right/Materials|t:multitext|s:left|r:0|p:right/Budget|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:right|d:” dropbox=”true” dropboxpath=”Metal Art/ECommerce Uploads/Custom Order/%userdata3%/%userdata5%”]

    1. I just generated a simple shortcode on the same site and still get the unknown error. It is definitely to do with having the site and wordpress url different because I have a clone of the site that has both urls the same and it works fine. Thanks

      1. Strange, I thought I had this resolved long time ago. I will do some search and let you know.

  • It appears that wordpress file upload only displays when logged in to the page. It doesn’t show the fields if not logged in. Is this normal?

    WP 4.4.1 and wordpress file upload version 3.7.0 and the previous one as well.

      1. [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/board-minutes/” fitmode=”responsive” uploadrole=”administrator,editor,author” uploadpatterns=”*.pdf” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uploadtitle=”Upload board minutes” notifyrecipients=”xxxxxxxxx” notifysubject=”Uploaded Board Minutes” notifymessage=”This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new Board Minutes file has been uploaded.”]

        I replaced the email address.

        I realized after I posted that I should try adding Guest to the Upload Roles. The page then appears properly. The code above is what it was when I posted originally.

        Great plugin!!

  • Files are uploading but not email notifications are being sent. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. This usually happens because the outgoing email configuration is not correct. Most users solve this problem by installing an SMTP plugin like Postman SMTP

  • I am testing this plugin ( free version) but I need a few chages and need to know if it is possible & allowed
    I need multi files uploaded ( I know that is in paid version, so will almost certainly update to that ) BUT I also need all uploaded files to be zipped into a passworded protected zip before being emailed on to the recipient
    I want to use it to distribute malware samples to antivirus companies via an existing mail distribution list
    It is almost impossible to get a user to encrypt (password protect ) a file or series of files without a lot of help

    1. Hi, what you ask can be done using the wfu_after_upload filter. This filter enables PHP actions after all files have been uploaded, so you can pack them in a zip file and email them wherever you want using PHP. I can help you set it up.

      1. if you can work out the code I need, I would be very grateful

        once I test it on the free version on my test site, I can buy the full version & install it on the working site

  • I’m using the latest free version of the Uploader with the latest WP and the latest (or very recent) versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Javascript enabled for all, but the Uploader shortcode only renders in Safari. I had someone else try all three browsers. For him it only renders in Firefox.

    In earlier versions of the uploader it rendered in all browsers. I’m not sure when it stopped working but I assume it was sometime in the last 4-6 weeks. It’s been dormant during that time and I have not changed anything in the shortcode between updates.

    We’ve been considering getting the Pro version, but there were bugs in the free version that we wanted to see worked out first. At least it was mostly working, but this is something new.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.

  • I keep getting this error: Upload failed!
    The uploaded file exceeds the file size limit, even though I have the chunk option selected. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

  • I was using the free version of your plugin and then ended up purchasing the pro version as I wanted my guests to be able to upload large image files when they place an order. The problem I am having is that I am not getting any notification emails when they upload a file. I did some trial and error and it looks like I will only get an email notification if they create an account on my website but if they don’t create an account (which isn’t required anyway) then I don’t get an email. The notification email contains information that is important to me as there were fields on the page where they had to fill out such as their name. Since I didn’t get an email, I have no idea who uploaded the image or any other information about the person. Can you please take a look at the code, I really need the notification email to come through all the time:

    1. Hi, you have set notifyrecipients=”%useremail%”, which means that only the user who makes the upload will receive the email. You also need to put your email, so that you receive it also, e.g. notifyrecipients=”info@iptanus.com,%useremail%”

  • Is there a way to have more than 1 uploader on a single page?

    i’ve tried doing this but get an error: “There are more than one instances of the plugin in this page with the same id. Please change it.”

    Is this possible, and if so, what do i need to do to get it working?

    Thanks!

    1. You need to set a different uploadid attribute for each shortcode, e.g.

      1st shortcode: [wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”1″ …]
      2nd shortcode: [wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”2″ …]
      and so on…

  • Hi,
    I just started using on my web-site the Pro Version. The only problem I cannot figure out is how to make the file upload status box bigger so long filenames fit in the box. Is there a way to make the upload progress box variable size based on length of filename being uploaded? If not, can it be made bigger by default or customizable to whatever size I want?

    Thanks.

    1. you can set dimensions of elements using the visual editor of the plugin, the dimensions can be absolute values (e.g. 100px) or relative to the plugin wisth (e.g. 90%), furthermore the visual editor contains a css editor, where you can style the plugin’s elements in a more advanced way using css

      1. Ok I didn’t know the dimensions were in px. I was able to increase the Progressbar Plugin Component Width and that fixed the problem of the filename going outside the box.

        On the selected filename I cannot figure out how to make that box bigger. I tried changing the Component Width Filename to 500 px but it has no effect and you can only see the first 16 characters of the filename in the box next to Select Files. How would you make this box bigger?

        1. Hi, please send me the URL to check… sometimes the theme’s CSS overrules over the plugin’s styling

  • Hi!

    I’m having problems with uploading files. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve tried to upload the same documents on 3 computer and it worked on 1 of them. What can be the problem?

    Here is the shortcode:

    [wordpress_file_upload dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” uploadtitle=”Upload file” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”ordforande@karlekon.com” notifyheaders=”NY FIL” medialink=”true”]

    Best regards
    Carl

      1. It said Uknown error. The file was not very big, like 5 mbites big. We tried different computers and it didn’t work. We tried different types of files. The strange thing is that it works sometimes.

        What I want it to be is like this. I want our members to be able to upload their exams to our website naming the files something like this test,20151004,termin 4, VG. After they have uploaded the files Im going to to our media library and look at the exams and then organize them into different classes. I also want to get a notification when someone uploads a file to our website. Does this work? 🙂

        1. this is not expected behaviour, it requires troubleshooting, please send me the URL of the page to my email (info@iptanus.com) to check myself

  • Hi, I’ve added an additional field to the upload: a dropdown, and I have to attach the GET value from the dropdown.

    My redirection URL is “http://www.sitename.com/page2?file_name=%filename%&optionSelected=%userdata0%”. But the URL in the next page is “http://www.sitename.com/page2/?file_name=fileName.csv&optionSelected=%userdata0%”. How can I get the option selected from the dropdown menu if I get the same data that I’ve sent?

    In the documentation there is written to add %userdataXXX% where XXX is the number of the field (starting from 0). I’ve got only this dropdown as additional field, nothing else.

    And that’s I’ve done… but it doesn’t function

    My shortcode is:

    [wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” uploadrole=”administrator,istruttore_arbitri,istruttore_ufficiali_di_campo” uploadpatterns=”*.csv” maxsize=”99″ createpath=”true” forcefilename=”true” redirect=”true” redirectlink=”http:///www.sitename.com/aggiorna-dati?file_name=%filename%&tipo=%userdata1%” placements=”filename/selectbutton/uploadbutton/progressbar/userdata/message” uploadtitle=”Carica File” selectbutton=”Seleziona File” uploadbutton=”Carica File” targetfolderlabel=”Cartella di destinazione” subfolderlabel=”Sotto-cartella” successmessage=”File %filename% caricato correttamente” errormessage=”File %filename% non caricato” waitmessage=”Elaborazione di %filename% in corso…” requiredlabel=”” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Seleziona documento|t:dropdown|s:left|r:1|a:1|p:bottom|d:|l:Elenco Arbitri, Elenco Ufficiali di Campo”]

    Thanks for your replies & Best Regards
    – Chris

    1. Hi, %userdataXXX% variable does not work in redirectlink. What you want can be done with a little tweaking of some Javascript functions of the plugin. Please send me an email at info@iptanus.com for instructions.

  • Hello,
    may you tell me if the professional version permits to create a folder and to see all of the files uploaded by the registered users? Thank you.

    1. Hi, the plugin uploads files to a folder specified by the user. However the user can use some dynamic variables inside the uploadpath, such as the username of the logged user, the page id etc. So, it can create the uploadpath if it does not exist.
      The plugin has various ways for displaying (and also downloading/deleting) the uploaded files, either for administrators or for logged (or not-logged) users.

  • Hi,

    it looks like that the Drop Box “Press here” button to activate DropBox is not working, I’m on a Mac tried Safari and Chrome, nothing happens….

  • Hello,
    I updated to Version 3.7.3 and I can’t change the message “upload in progress” and “please wait while redirecting”. How can I change these messages?

  • Hello,

    Love your plugin, bought the pro version recently. Managed to configure it but wanted to check if the below is possible. Been trying to adjust these options but not succeeded so far.

    1) Can custom directories be made required* ? I want users to have to specify the upload path before they’re allowed to upload. This is to avoid files in the root upload folder.

    2) Can the upload path be displayed on the media viewer (front-end). Or organized via path? Just to avoid a massive list of non sorted files. I would like a neat way to display these.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Melissa

    1. Also can’t get the filter by extension to work for multiple extensions. Tried so many different variations with the comma and *’s. It is just refusing to allow it.

      I know you provide the format with you hover on the little ‘?’ but this just does not seem to be working for me.

      1. Hi Melissa

        Please switch to email so that I can assist you easier.

        Let’s go one-by-one.

        1. Required sub-directories. Well if you do not select a subdirectory then it cannot continue. The directory dropdown list turns red. Isn’t this what you want?

        2. Good question. However it is not implemented. There is a tweak that can be made. Do you mind if the selected directory is a separate column of the Media viewer?

        3. Here is how it works: “*.doc, *.pdf, *.png”

        Best Regards

  • Hello,

    I have just purchased your Pro plugin and was wondering if you could help me.

    We are designing a website for a local bowls club, and we would like the members to be able to upload their own photos to the relevent photo albums (eg: http://desboroughodb.psittacus.systems/photo-galleries/club-photos/).

    Is this possible? Currently the plugin is setup on http://desboroughodb.psittacus.systems/public-upload-test/ and uploads go through to the media folder, but would be preferable to have a separate uploader for each album.

    Also, I’ve been looking at CSS all day to remove the grey and black border from the Captcha and can’t find it anywhere. You wouldn’t happen to know where this is would you?

    Thank you in advance!

    Kind Regards,
    James

    1. You can add a subfolder selection list in the uploader, so that the user selects where to upload the file. Then, photos will be saved to different folders (however in this case they will not be added to Media).

      Regarding the CSS, I checked the page, for some reason it cannot be done by adding css code, so here is another solution using javascript. Just add the following code in the page contents below the shortcode:

      <script type="text/javascript">
      wfu_addEventHandler(window, "load", tweak_captcha);
      function tweak_captcha() {
      document.getElementById("captcha_1_frame").style.border = "none";
      }
      </script>

      1. Thank you for the speedy reply Nickolas.

        I have now setup subfolders and added the subfolder list to the uploader underneath the ‘filename’ box, but for some reason it isn’t showing on the page?

        The javascript didn’t show up in your reply unfortunately but this isn’t too big a deal.

        Thanks again.

      2. I’m having similar problems but I want to change the width of the cptcha. The code is missing from your reply. Could you re-post the solution?

          1. Hi, maybe you mean something like this?

            div#wordpress_file_upload_captcha_1 { height: 101px; }
            div#captcha_1 { scale: 1.32 1.32; top: 12px; }

            Nickolas

  • Hello, Sorry but I need a quick answer.

    when i try to edit the form, i have got a 403 error :

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/options-general.php on this server.

    Thanks in advance

  • Hello, other question.

    It works now on my website from a lot of different browsers.

    on iphone, Everything seem to work, but except at the end (when connecting to the ftp ?)

    message : Upload failed! the duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server ….

    1. no need actually, it is already translated to German, so when you turn to German language from your Dashboard then the plugin will also turn to German

        1. Was German language selected from the Dashboard / Settings / General page? Can you please send me the URL of the page with the plugin to check?

          1. Unfortunately no they are only in English, but are visible only to administrators

  • Hi,
    We’re looking for a way to allow clients to send us files without logging in. The plug-in needs to ask for a name and email address and then upload files to a hidden (blind URL) folder.
    Is that possible with your plugin?
    Thanks!
    -Donald

  • Updated plugin to newest version, now on some computers the input box has disappeared and others it is there. Any thoughts? Both Safari, same versions.

  • Hi,

    The %filepath% being sent to my email (set under “Notifications”) is not a clickable link to download the file.
    It shows like this:
    /home/example/example/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/example-file.psd

    When i need it to show like this:
    http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/example-file.psd

    Am I missing something?
    Or is this not possible to receive a download link in an email notification after upload?

    1. Nope you are not missing something. This options does not exist because it is a bit risky. Nevertheless, you can still do it. The most efficient way is to implement wfu_before_email_notification filter. Please send me an email for providing instructions about it.

      Nickolas

  • Hi
    After updating my WP and Divi theme, its impossible to download files to a smartphone. Both iPhone and Android. It works on PC and Mac. Can I do anything. (I got the pro-version).

    Frank

  • Thank you for this plugin, lots of options, very useful.
    Still, I need help to get the file path and store it in a hidden field in a form on the same page. (for all users).
    So, basically, I have your plugin shortcode inside another form, after the user uploads the file, I want to record the full path to the file and send it with the submitted form. Is that possible?
    Thanks,

    1. Hi, for security reasons the full file path is not exposed to the client side. However if the upload path is fixed, then you already know it. The only thing you don’t know is the filename, which you can get from the upload form. However, if you have the plugin shortcode inside another form, then it may not work. Please test first.

      1. Hi Nickolas!

        I’m trying to do the same thing as Ian on one of my forms (using Caldera Forms 1.7.2 and WFU Pro 4.6), but instead of getting the upload path, I just want the filename(s) to be pushed to a hidden field on the page with a unique ID (fld_9272266). This would occur when the files are successfully uploaded. Can you provide an example of how to do this?

  • Hi, i just bought the Pro version but now i get an error message. This is my shortcode:[wordpress_file_upload multiple=”false” fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”2″ uploadtitle=”Datei hochladen” selectbutton=”Auswhlen/” uploadbutton=”Hochladen/” successmessage=”Datei %filename% wurde hochgeladen” warningmessage=”Datei %filename% wurde hochgeladen, aber mit Fehler!” errormessage=”Datei %filename% wurde nicht hochgeladen” waitmessage=”Datei %filename% wird hochgeladen”]

    I altered the text by hand into german, not knowing how to install another language.
    Please help

  • I have just purchased the Pro version. I would like the steps needed to upgrade the free plugin to the Pro version without losing items already setup in the free version. I’m on WP Version 4.5.2

    Thanks!

      1. Hi, in order to upgrade from free to Pro version, first deactivate the Free version (you can also delete it if you want). Then install the Pro version from the .zip file.

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to hide the upload button and only being visible when there is a file ready to be uploaded. I’ve tried to make a hook, but with my coding skills i did not even came close to the solution. Can anyone help me where to start or maybe have the code?

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi,
    I am interested in the pro version of your tool.
    I would like to install this in multiple sites. Can you please let me knoz if this can be done by buying one pro license?
    If not, do you have special conditions for a license to install in multiple sites?
    Thanks for your appreciated feedback.
    Best Regards,
    Geert Clemminck

    1. You cannot do it in the Dashboard. The Pro version has a Dashboard file viewer, however it shows only the files uploaded by the logged user. You can do it with the front-end file viewer of the Pro version, which you can add in any page or post using [wordpress_file_upload_browser] shortcode. You can configure this file viewer to display all uploaded files only for publishers role using the shortcode visual editor.

  • Hi, I have the free version installed. I have just purchased and downloaded the pro version, what is the best way to install it from within the wp-admin?

  • Hello, from the PRO version of your plugin. How can I let the users with the permissions allowed to Download the files uploaded to my site from your file browser feature?

  • Hi,

    Very nice plugn!

    I am considering upgrading to pro, but have one minor/major problem…

    I’m using echo do_shortcode() to generate an upload widget for a dynamically generated page, and this works well EXCEPT that I get a very weird ‘crayon’ icon pop-up when I hover over the widget .

    If I hover over this crayon icon, it turns yellow and I get an ‘open visual shortcode editor in new window’ tool-tip. If I click on it, nothing happens.

    I suspect this is nothing to do with your plugin, but it’s very annoying. Any idea how I can turn it off? As you may have guessed, I don’t have much experience with WP yet, so perhaps I’m using do_shortcode() wrong?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Bye,
    Mark

  • I need the ability for administrators to deliver files to specific users so they can download them from the site. Can this be accomplished with this plugin?

    Thank you!

  • Hello,
    I purchased the Pro version. How can I clear the list of files to be uploaded (for example, if the user selects the wrong file to upload)? I tried the backspace button to delete the entry but it doesn’t work.

    Thanks in advance…

  • Hi,

    i tried to connect the plugin (Pro) witch my dropbox account. In The Settings there ist “Dropbox: Not akctivated [press here] to enable,… etc”

    If i click on the “Press here” button nothing happens (no new window, and nothing else. It seens my browser doesn’t start any operation by clicking this button) Ist the same ine Chrome, Firefox and Opera. What can i do?

  • I’m extremely interested in the pro version of this plugin. I run a downloads website that allows members to submit custom content for the Sims series of games. They upload their main file and screenshots to showcase their items. Is there a way to select a screenshot to show as a thumbnail while viewing a category?

    Also, can I add unlimited subcategories to the directory?

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    The recent update now cannot upload files which I believe is a result of the blacklisting of extensions.

    Can you advise exactly where the Whitelist is? I am not a developer and mine is on vacation but we need to be able to upload files today.

    1. My Developer added to the Whitelist in the Shortcode a bunch of extensions
      we would like our customers to be able to upload but they still fail to upload even though they are whitelisted.

      These are the extensions I had him Whitelist:
      .stl
      .wrl
      .3mf
      .step
      .zip

      And none are working.

        1. .stl files are blacklisted by default, because they are considered as dangerous. However, if you still want to allow them, there is a workaround:

          1. Go to the Hooks tab of the plugin’s page in Dashboard and create a new hook.
          2. Give it any title. In the Code box put the following code:

          global $wfu_extension_blacklist;
          if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist["stl"]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist["stl"]);

          3. Set Status to Active and Save.
          4. Add .stl extension to Allowed File Extensions attribute of the shortcode using the visual editor of the plugin.

  • My question is about what happens AFTER the documents are uploaded. Do the logged-in users have front-end access to view all of the documents (not just their own)?

    We have a member website. We want to use the pro version of the plugin as a document repository for policies and plans that we want all members to be able to view and download. Our users have logins, but they don’t have access to the backend.

    Just looking for a quick answer on whether or not the plugin does this. Thanks!

  • Thinking of buying the pro version for a client’s web site and integrate with Membermouse. Allowing a registered member to upload a CSV and have it display the info on their members page.
    So is it possible to send or load the file in Membermouse’s data table, either using the shortcode.

    The upload form is now in a popup on http://ernieshigh.com/cc/newsletter/

    1. Hi, I can definitely assure you that the plugin is not broken, as it is already installed in more than 10.000 websites. However, since you are unsatisfied, I have already issue a refund.

      1. How do I change where the files upload to? I want files to be sent to my google drive; however, it is not working. Furthermore, the email feature on the wordpress file uploader is not working properly on this plug in. Email notifications work on other plug ins so I know it is this plug in.

  • Hi,
    I’ve been unable to get the Settings for the Pro Version to load from my Dashboard. I get a 504 timeout each time I try, even after updating to the newest version. I uninstalled and went back to the previous version – those Settings won’t load either.

    I’ve tried disabling all other plugins, also with no success.

    Help! Thanks.

  • I use your plugin in a long form that I show and hide various elements as the user progress through the form. There’s a section of my form where they can upload additional elements. When this section of my code is reached I make visible the plugin again. However, the plugin still says “All files uploaded successfully” from an earlier upload. Besides reloading the page, how can I somehow reinitialize your plugin so that it does not say “All files uploaded successfully”?

    Thanks for your plugin! It has worked very well for me thus far !!

  • It did not. How do I upload files to my google drive. I want it where when a client uploads a file it is sent to my google drive. Also email notifications are not working. Email notifications work in other plugins so I know it is not the website.

  • I have your plugin working great on a site with the exception of upper-case letters in the filename. For example, using your plugin, I can upload file FileA.jpg but I cannot upload a file called FileB.JPG.

    How do I fix that? I looked at the advanced settings for the plugin and could not find any option that appears related to my issue here.

    Thanks in advance!!

  • Nickolas,

    Me again. I love your plugin!
    I was wondering if you could add a feature….

    I have a filter function for wfu_after_file_upload. This function adds some stuff to my database if the file upload was successful (i.e. $additional_data[“upload_result”] == “success”).

    However, even if the file upload was successful, I’d like to be able to reject the file and have your plugin say something like “Upload failed” and a reason like “File appears corrupt”.

    My site allows the uploading of image files but sometimes I cannot process the image file due to the file being an unsupported type or the file is corrupt. Because your plugin displays a successful upload message, the user thinks everything is okay but it was not okay.

    It would be nice if I could set the ‘ret_value’ in $changable_data within this filter function to indicate that the upload ultimately failed due to the server rejecting/deleting it. It would also be nice to set some variable in $changable_data to indicate the error text message that the plugin should display.

    Is something like this in the works? Or do you already support this in some other way?

    Thanks again!!
    -Robert

  • Hi,

    I have the Pro version but when I insert the [wordpress_file_upload] inside the WP Contact Form it doesn’t work.
    Can you help me?

    Best regards,

  • Tried your plugin on my test web site. Uploaded files no problem.

    However, when opened the same page on Samsung S7 (64 bit OS), or on Windows 10 (64 bit OS), file upload stalls forever until it times out. No files are uploaded.

    I am having the same problem on 64 bits with plain , or any other POST / AJAX methods. Upload stalls forever until it times out.

    Very strange, because I tried a web site which is using your plugin (from couple posts back) http://ernieshigh.com/cc/newsletter/ and it seems to work…

    I can email you my test page. Maybe you can tell what’s wrong?

  • Using Pro version, just wondering if there is a way to allow text/comments for each picture in a multiple picture upload. For example, if i am uploading 5 pictures, i want to attach the date they were taken to each one which will vary based on the picture. These comments could later on be used as part of a caption for that photo in a slider or other display method.

  • Hey Nickolas,

    Is the $file_unique_id parameter in function wfu_before_file_upload_handler($file_path, $file_unique_id) truly a unique value?

  • Hi there,
    Just purchased pro plugin for multi-file upload capability, which I want to use as a way to submit some contact info with the files. Your page says that additional form fields can be added to the default file upload info, are there instructions somewhere for how to add these?

    1. Hi, probably there is some incompatibility with your website, what you can do is to put the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload] manually inside the page of interest. Then it will be shown in the list of Uploader Instances.

  • Hi,

    I purchased and downloaded the Pro version today, I seem to be able to upload any file apart for .zip files, even though I’ve not restricted these. It seems other people are having the same problem without a solution being found. I need to get this working, can you let me know a solution.

    Thanks,

    1. Hi,

      Zip files are not allowed by default for security reasons. Please go to the visual editor of the plugin, in Allowed File Extensions and set *.*,*.zip to include zip files in the allowed list.

      1. Hi,

        I have tried the solution you recommend but it still doesn’t work here is my shortcode:

        [wordpress_file_upload dragdrop=”false” uploadpath=”uploads/user-uploads” fitmode=”responsive” captchatype=”RecaptchaV2 (no account)” uploadpatterns=”*.*,*.zip” duplicatespolicy=”maintain both” adminmessages=”true” placements=”title/userdata/filename+selectbutton/captcha/uploadbutton/progressbar/message” selectbutton=”Select file/Select files” uploadbutton=”Upload file/Upload files” requiredlabel=”*”]

        Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?

        Thanks,

        Dan

  • Problem with deleting uploaded files in WordPress File Upload Control Panel>File browser.
    I see list of uploaded files, but I can’t check it for deleting.
    See uploaded screen-shot.
    How to solve it?

    1. Hi, is this a screenshot of the Dashboard File Viewer for logged users, or the Dashboard File Browser only visible to administrators?

  • Problem with cirillic names of uploaded files.
    For Example name – Тестовое название.pdf
    Get name in uploaded directory ———————————.pdf

    1. Hi, by default non-latin characters, as well as other special characters are “sanitized” for maximum compatibility with all web servers. However, there is an option in the visual editor of the shortcode, called Do Not Change Filename. If you enable it, the Cyrillic characters will remain.

  • 1st I have to say I really love this plugin. Everything works great but for some reason I cant get my files to upload to my FTP account.

    I installed the plugin last night and made sure it would upload to my FTP client. Worked well. Sent 1 file. The next day it would not send anything there any more. I’ve tried everything. Even Uninstalled the plug in and reinstalled.

    I keep getting:
    “Warning: file_get_contents(https://services2.iptanus.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home2/jacktre/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 2032″
    at the top of the plugin.

    it works well when on “Normal” but when using FTP is says “Upload failed!
    Upload failed! Unknown error.

    [wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.133.216.3″]

      1. Not sure if it matters with the FTP upload because it still uploads the normal way. It just sits at the top of the main page on the plugin. I only get the Upload failed!
        Upload failed! Unknown error” when tryng to upload through FTP.

        I was thinking I may need to reinstall to fix any missing files in the plug in but it says the same thing when I reinstall. It even still has my settings….

        1. This warning is probably irrelevant. Can you please ask your host if they have ModSecurity enabled for your domain and if there are any errors generated when you open the main page of the plugin?

          Regarding the FTP error, are you sure that the credentials are Ok? Does the username or password contain characters like [at] symbol (@) or colon (:)? If not, please enable Passive mode and try again.

          Let me know on results.

          Nickolas

          1. Credentials are right. I used them on Filzilla and it worked
            instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.xxx.216.3 is what I used.
            It use to say the FTP file path but now I cant get it to change from “Location: root/wp-content/uploads/”.

          2. Sorry if im not explaining myself clear enough. Ill try again…

            The credentials are right. I know the credentials are right because I used them with Filezilla. But I using the credentials in the right format?

            The credentials I use is instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.xxx.xxx.3

            When I look at the “File Browser” it still shows that the location says : Location: root/wp-content/uploads/. Shouldn’t It say the FTP path instead?

            The message I’m getting is: “Upload failed! Unknown error”.

            What should I look into?

          3. The File Browser is not related to the path you have set in the shortcode. What is the shortcode you are using?

          4. The short code that am trying to use is:
            [wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”20″ accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.xxx.216.3″ ftppassivemode=”true” adminmessages=”true” placements=”title/subfolders/message/userdata/selectbutton/filename/uploadbutton” uploadtitle=”Submit Music Here” requiredlabel=”*” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%userdata1%,Request@InstinctRadio.net” notifyheaders=”Music Submission To Instinct Radio ” notifysubject=”File Upload Successful” notifymessage=”Dear %userdata2%,%n%%n%Your song has been received and intered into our request data base at Instinct Radio.

            Please tell my why it will not upload.

          5. There is an option called Use FTP Domain. Please activate it (and also disable passive mode). What is the directory in your ftp where you want files to go?

          6. please check your version, you have the Free or Professional one? also check the page contents. Does it contain [wordpress_file_upload_browser] shortcode?

          7. Hey Nick, everything is working well now. Turning on the “Use FTP Domain” and fixing my file path did the trick. Thanks for a great plugin!!!

  • I upload my files in site folder through FTP. I can see it in admin File Manager, but i can’t delete them. Only those which were uploaded through form.
    How can I fix it for deleting uploaded files by FTP in admin File Manager?

    1. There is an option in files not uploaded through the form called “Include”. This option will include the file in the plugin’s database. Then you will be able to delete it.

      Nickolas

    1. You can put as many shortcodes as you like in one page. However thy must have different uploadid values. You can set it using the visual editor.

  • Hi, I use wordpress pro file upload and suddenly stopped displayed the list of uploaded files. On page I use the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload_browser] until two days ago and now worked perfectametne files are no longer listed.

  • Hi
    I am using the event calendar to let registered users publish their events. Would it be able with your plugin to allow the publisher of an event (and only them!) to upload files directly to their (and only to their!) event?
    Thanks for your feedback!

  • I have just purchased WordPress File Upload Professional with the intention of uploading mainly *.htm and *.html files. However when I try to upload them I get a “files failed to upload” message. I have succeeded in uploading *.pdf, *.doc(x), *.xls(x) and *.csv files which I also need to a lesser extent. Is there a reason why I cannot upload *.htm and *.html files and can I do anything about it? I have tried adding “*.htm,*.html” to “Allowed File Extensions”.
    Apologies if this question has been answered previously but I could find no reference to it.

    1. In general html files are not allowed, because they are considered as dangerous. However, it can be done with some tweaking. Please send me an email to info[at]iptanus.com for giving you instructions.

  • Hello
    How can I move the location of the pagination: “Page 1 of x”?
    How can I translate also the item in French? Dashboard is in French but pagination in English. I couldn’t find anything in Settings or in the .po file.
    How can I change the date language in the browser (still in english)?
    Also if I have a multi-language website where the user can switch to another language on the frontend, how can I change the langage of the browser design?
    Thanks,

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      – How can I move the location of the pagination: “Page 1 of x”?
      You need a little bit of css. I can help you if you tell me what you want to do.
      – How can I translate also the item in French? Dashboard is in French but pagination in English. I couldn’t find anything in Settings or in the .po file.
      Strange. Normally the plugin will translate itself automatically to the language selected in Dashboard. The .po file contains strings like “Page”. What version of the plugin do you have?
      – How can I change the date language in the browser (still in english)?
      Good point. Need to check. I will let you know.
      – Also if I have a multi-language website where the user can switch to another language on the frontend, how can I change the langage of the browser design?
      If a user changes language in the front-end, the plugin will also change language (normally).

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi,

        On the location of the pagination, yes It would be helpful if you can give me some guidance.
        The item shows up on the top right side of the list of files now, and I would like to show it at the bottom left after the list of documents.

        I will check again the .po file for string like “Page” and for the change in languages in the front-end.

        Thx

    1. Hi Phil, this is an error that shows up the last few months and there are reports from many users. I haven’t managed to figure out how it is caused, because I cannot reproduce it in my servers and this is very frustrating. It is probably related to some security settings of your web server (ModSecurity maybe). It affects Dropbox feature, hooks and captcha. If you are not using them, then you are Ok.

  • Hi Nick,

    I have noticed that users of my site cannot upload files that have multiple “.” in the filename.

    In your plugin’s Advanced Settings I have variable “Default Upload Extensions” set to “*.jpg,*.png”
    But if someone tries, for example, to upload a file called, “2016.10.29_053612.jpg”, the upload will fail with a plugin error message that says, “Upload failed! File not allowed.”

    What am I doing wrong? Do I have some Advanced Setting not correct?
    Thanks in advance!

  • I have just installed Pro version onto my WordPress site (Divi), setup a dedicated upload page with the code, but nothing show up in the browser, please help.

    Thank you,

    1. Hi, by default the plugin is not visible to guests (users that are not logged in). Using the visual editor of the plugin you can specify if you want to include Guests. If you do this, it will be visible to everyone.

      Let me know if this helps.

  • I have just purchased the Pro version, having had conflict problems with the free one and being unable to edit in visual composer. I have have installed the pro and the same conflict with VC is happening and also it is failing to upload any files. I am using 4.6.1 of WP. Can you help please?

    Thank you

  • Hello,

    I am having a similar problem. When WFU is activated, and I attempt to open and edit a page, I get:
    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    When I deactivate WFU I can open and edit pages.

    I am using the Avada theme with an updated Fusion Builder visual composer. PHP version is 5.5.22

    I updated the plugin to 3.9.5 and it didn’t help.

    Regards,
    Jeff

    1. Hi, what happens if you deactivate the Fusion Builder? Does it work? I am trying to understand if it is an incompatibility with the theme or with the Fusion Builder.

      Regards

  • I have an issue with the free version. I would like the uploaded files to be placed in a specific folder inside the media library (I am using WP Media Folder by JoomUnited to organise my media library). How can I achieve this?

    1. There is an option to include uploaded file to Media library. Using the visual editor of the plugin, go to Interoperability tab and activate option Add Uploaded Files To Media. You can try it.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, it seems to be working ok mostly, but recapture doesn’t work.
    I’m using the Pro version, on WordPress 4.7-RC1, Template 2017

    I have the keys input correctly in settings, but nothing happens? Even a guest – not logged in – can upload files. So it’s a real problem there.
    How can I fix that please.

        1. Fixed. Excellent plugin. Well worth the money for the Pro version Thank you for your help. Very fast response. A real pleasure these days.

  • Hi, I’m very impressed with this plugin. Bought the pro version today hoping to answer a couple of my issues after using the free one for a couple of days.

    1. When uploading multiple files, should I see multiple “select files” buttons. Or is it just down to the user “option clicking” multiple files in their dialogue box?

    2. I would like to alter the dimensions of the progress bar and one of my Additional Data Fields (that I’m using as a comments/instructions box). But whatever I enter in the “Progressbar width” field seems to produce a tiny progress bar that’s almost invisible. What are the values supposed to represent… pixels, cm’s, columns? Is it possible to give a dimension of just one Additional Data Field?

    Everything else is working just fine. It is just these 2 cosmetic issues.

    Thanks

    1. Hi, thanks for purchasing the plugin. Here are some answers:

      1. You will see one “Select Files” button. The user is able to select multiple files by holding the Shift (or Control) key of the keyboard.
      2. Dimensions are in pixels. So, you need to put ‘px’ next to every dimension, e.g. if you want a progress bar width of 100 pixels you should put 100px.

      Let me know if you need further assistance.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Thanks, that’s much better now.

        But is there any way of increasing the dimensions of just one of the data fields?
        If you look at my test site http://46.32.240.33/hexio.co.uk/ftp-upload/ you will see that I have a “comments” field, it would be great to be able to make just that field bigger.

        Thanks for your quick response.

    1. Hi, yes this is possible:

      a. either you make the file viewer show all files (including those of other users), so that the specific user can see admin’s files, or
      b. when you upload a file as admin, you change the file’s owner (upload user) to the specific user (you can do this by editing the file from the File Browser tab of the plugin area in Dashboard).

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi,

    Thanks for this plugin, it’s really very flexible and powerful!

    I am having an issue, though, in uploading files consistently. I have been unable to get mobile uploads to work. When I choose files and hit “Upload” it looks like it’s about to start uploading each of the listed files, but then each one disappears one after the other in rapid succession and it goes back to the same upload form without having uploaded anything. There’s no error message or partial uploads, just a seeming refusal to perform the upload at all. I have seen this happen on my desktop computer as well, regardless of browser, but only occasionally there. Is there a setting or something I should check to make sure that uploads are at least attempted no matter what? Ideally we will be using this for field techs to upload pictures from their phones and we need to make sure it works properly especially for mobile uploads.

    I have a fresh installation of wordpress on a free host (bulktv.rf.gd from InfinityFree) and this plugin is the only one installed with it.

    1. Hi, it seems that for some reason the plugin thinks that files are being sent correctly and completes the upload without errors. Can you send me the URL of the page to test myself? What mobile devices have you tried?

      Nickolas

        1. I tried uploading many files from Chrome desktop. Some files failed. The reason is that browsers have a limit on how many connections they can handle at once. So some times, when the limit is exceeded files fail, though it is rare.
          Please go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload / Advanced, locate option “Max Concurrent Connections to Server” and set a value like 4. Then try to upload again.

          I also tried uploading from Samsung Note and IPhone6. Most of the times it succeeded, but not all. The problem is with session variables. Some times the server resets session variables too early. This might be a problem of server configuration, or of another plugin meshing with session variables.

          I will try to do more testing…

          Nickolas

          1. Hi Nick,

            Thanks for taking a look! I changed the Max Concurrent Connections to 5 and it seems to work pretty well for that.

            I haven’t had a chance to test from Mobile again, but I will let you know.

            I have also noticed, however, that the upload is filtering out potentially damaging extensions (.html, .exe, .css, .js, .zip, etc.) even though the “Default Upload Extensions” is set to *.*

            This probably isn’t an issue for us as most of what we need will be images anyway, but there are a few types of proprietary files we might occasionally need. Is there likely a server setting somewhere that taking precedence?

            Thanks!

          2. Hi Nick,

            I’m still encountering issues with mobile upload. Would it be worth it for me to try another host? I’m not very familiar with session variables, and I’m having trouble determining which parameters I should check. Some users are able to upload via mobile, and some are not. Those who are not are able to select files for upload, but the uploads themselves fail very quickly and there is no error message or redirect, it just looks to them like the upload page reloads.

          3. Hi Omar. Expiration of session cookie is one possible explanation of the problem, however it does not justify the quick failure. One other cause may be the concurrent connections that can be handled by the browser. By default the plugin opens many connections to the server for uploading large files in chunks. However some browsers cannot handle many connections.

            Go to Advanced tab in plugin’s section in Dashboard, locate option Max Concurrent Connections to Server and set it to 1.

            Then monitor to see if the problem still persists.

            Nickolas

      1. I have tried using Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S7, and iPhone 7 (Chrome on the first two, Safari on iPhone). I have been unable to upload anything at all from mobile phones.

        On my desktop yesterday I tried uploading ~16 image files (.png) together, and only about 10 of them were uploaded (randomly selected, it wasn’t just the first 10)

  • I use your pluggin to allow people to upload images to my site. I found out that on some jpeg images that a customer tries to upload they get a warning message that appears like: “File xxxxxx.jpg uploaded successfully but with warnings.”

    I verified this myself. I had a valid jpeg file (I could open it in all graphics programs that I tried) called “img_5475.jpg” and I tried uploading it to my site and I got that warning message. Many other .jpg files upload just fine without this warning message but many also do create this warning message.

    Can this issue be fixed? I looked at the Advanced settings tab for the plugin and I didn’t see anything that would help me to suppress this warning message.

    I’m using plugin version 3.9.6.

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi Robert, please enable Admin Messages from the visual editor of the plugin’s shortcode, so that additional information about this warning can be shown. Then try to upload the file again. What additional info do you get?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I am looking for a way for users to upload multiple files simultaneously, and I see the Pro version will do this. I have installed the free version, and it seems to be working well. First, I notice the file type allowed defaults to *.*, but it will not accept a .zip file. Is this a setting on my end, a restriction on the free version, or is there anything in the plugin that will allow .zip files? Second, is there a way to include in the email notification which folder was selected to allow the admin to know which one of the 24 subfolders now contains the new uploaded files? If I can resolve these two issues, I think this will work well on my end. Thanks.

    1. For security reasons the default file pattern *.* will allow only certain file types to be uploaded (mostly media file types). Administrators are encouraged to define more specific file patterns. So, if you want to allow .zip files, allowed file extensions must be *.zip or *.*,*.zip

      Regarding the email question, if you include inside the message body the variable %filepath% it will be replaced by the absolute path of the uploaded file, so you will be able to know which subfolder was actually selected.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi! Would it be possible to redirect users to the media attachment page that’s created once an image is uploaded to the Media Library?

    When the upload form is embedded into /demopage/, and you upload a file named !!!mary-had-a-little-lamb.jpg, a child attachment is created as a new post (type “attachment”) and the slug is created from the file name by WordPress: /mary-had-a-little-lamb/ (no extension, cleared up special characters, etc). I’d like to auto-redirect to that slug /demopage/mary-had-a-little-lamb/.

    1. Solved via a hack.

      For those who need the same functionality:

      1. I created a redirect page as decribed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1698797/create-wordpress-page-that-redirects-to-another-url

      2. My redirect page code then finds the latest attachment ID and redirects to it like this:

      $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘post_status’ =>’any’, ‘post_parent’ => 17 );
      $attachments = get_posts( $args );
      $redirect_id = 0;
      if ( $attachments ) {
      foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
      $redirect_id = $attachment->ID;
      }
      }

      $header = ‘Location: http://localhost:8888/?attachment_id=‘ . $redirect_id;
      header($header);
      exit();

      1. Well, in my case it redirects to the last attachment of the page with ID=17, but you could put ‘post_parent’ => null to get the last attachment globally, or conduct your search with different options altogether. And of course, adjust the URL in the $header variable to your liking or get it programmatically too.

  • Hi,

    I am working on a form and I have a couple user data fields present in my shortcode that are not present on the page or in the additional data fields UI. When I add them to the additional data fields section they are added to the shortcode but if I leave the page and come back they are gone. I have attempted to include my shortcode below. Not sure if it will work…

    Thanks!

        1. Hi Nickolas,

          The “(” and “)” in the “(Optional)” piece of the title were breaking the shortcode. I removed that part and it is working as expected. Do you think I could use an escape character (\) to force the shortcode to ignore the parentheses?

          Thanks,

          Sean

          1. Here is how you can put the (Optional) keywork next to the label: just put the following css code inside the Custom CSS tab of the visual editor of the plugin:


            label#userdata_1_label_4:after, label#userdata_1_label_5:after, label#userdata_1_label_6:after {
            content: ' (Optional)';
            }

    I have set the directory to 777.
    Is this a permissions problem?

    1. Hi, no it is not a permission error but a security error. The plugin by default will not allow files having more than one dots (.) in the filename (they may contain double extensions which are suspicious). You can disable this additional security feature by going to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload / Advanced, locate option “Wildcard Asterisk Mode” and set it to ‘loose’.

      Regards

      Nickolas

        1. Yes it is in Pro version. In Free version you have to put the following in your functions.php file:

          if ( isset($GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE"]) ) $GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE"][3] = "loose";

          Nickolas

          1. Thanks Nickolas. Great plugin BTW.
            Think I’m going to “go Pro” anyway, just trying a couple more things out to make sure it satisfies all my requirements.

  • Hi. I purchased the PRO-version. Uploading files has the possibility to put the files in defined subfolders.

    How does the Uploaded File List Instance determine which files are to be displayed?
    What folder does the Uploaded File List Instances use?
    How do I specify, which folder should be displayed initially?
    How can I change folders when using the instance?
    And is there any possibility to have only the files of the folder to be displayed?

    tx for an answer!
    Bernd

  • Hi + tx for an answer. I bought the Pro version + have a question:
    When uploading it is possible to specify the folder where the files should go to.
    For the file browser instance this seems not to be possible. Can I force the browser to use the just uploaded folder only? Or is there any other way to restrict tzhe numbers of files displayed?
    Even maintaining the foler structure would be a progress.

    tx Bernd

    1. Hi Bernt, let me understand your question better. So you want to specify where files will be uploaded? There is an option for this, Upload Path. You can find it by opening the visual editor of the plugin.

  • Hi, I’m using the Pro version and I’m seeing some strange behavior when creating and adding multiple instances to the same page. Our specific scenario is we want a total of 10 files to be uploaded. Three pdfs and seven images all sent together. We’re not using the multiple file select as we’re leading people through the form so we have 10 individual single upload file fields on the page. Here’s some of the larger issues we’re seeing:
    1) When creating an instance, it’s requiring me to select a page it’s being added to. When using shortcodes, why is this required? What’s even more odd is that the free version didn’t require it, but the Pro version does. Please consider not requiring this.
    2) It seems to me that the shortcode should only be referencing the plugin name and instance ID so any changes that are made to the instance post-launched shouldn’t require a copy/paste back to the page to update. While testing this is a pretty tedious task, especially across 10 instances.
    3) When creating instances, it seems to be making double instances with identical information requiring me to delete the duplicate instances.

    The plugin will work for our needs but does seem like there are some bugs that needs cleaned up. Unless I’m just not understanding how this is setup and supposed to work.

    Thanks for any information you can give.
    – Steve

    1. Hi, here are some answers:
      A plugin instance is the appearance of the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload …] inside a page or post. The plugin searches all appearances of this shortcode inside all posts and pages and presents them in the Uploader Instances table. If you have set 10 instances in a page, then you should see 10 lines in that table. Through this table you can easily edit any of the instances, instead of going to the page and doing it manually. So:

      1) Yes an instance is meaningful inside a page or post (or the Pro version can add the plugin’s upload form in a sidebar as a widget). So, you need to select a page or post. The Free version is the same as well.
      2) When you make changes to the instance using the visual editor of the plugin, the page is updated as well. If you do not see this, then there is something wrong.
      3) Not normal. It shouldn’t happen.

      Please check your 10 instances in the page. They should have different uploadid values, so that the plugin can distinguish them. Have you done that?

      Regards

  • Hello Nickolas,
    i bought your plugin for uploaded listing file.
    i have some problem with email notification: no email are send at succefful uploading.
    Can you tell what to change or fix?
    I have to use something like gmail SMTP plugin?
    here the code

    1. Hi, seems that you have configured the shortcode correctly. So please try with an SMTP plugin yes.

      Regards

  • Hello,

    Thank you for this plugin, it works almost perfectly, I have just a problem with it. I can´t receive notifications when someone different from the administrator upload any file.
    Please, can someone help, because I have had this problem for many days and I don´t know what to do.

    Thank you very much,
    Karol

      1. Yes, I have done it. In the Spam Folder there is not anything.

        If I don’t include attachfile it is the same. The notification is sent only when the administrator or a guest upload any file, but it is not sent when an other user upload any file.

        What would be happening? Thank you for trying to help me.
        Karol.

  • Hello, I am trying to add some custom PHP code after the file has been successfully uploaded by user, but I’m a bit lost in wordpress_file_upload.php code. Could you tell me on which line should I add my code if I want it to execute after a successful file upload?
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi, you can implement wfu_after_upload filter by using the Hooks functionality of the Pro version. Instructions on how to implement this filter can be found here.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, i wish to buy the Pro version, but before to do this, i agree to know if this plugin will updated and compatble with the new version of WP
    thanks in advance

  • Feature Request: Please add the ability to cc: or bcc: notifications. We’re running an online contest with submissions and the client would like to be notified as well as submitter. We don’t want direct company emails addresses being listed in the notification email. For now, they’ve had to create a separate email catch-all for notifications to be sent.

    Either this or have two types of notifications, one for the submitter and one for the company so we can control the message and what’s sent to each recipient. The submitter doesn’t need to have the files attached but would be nice for the company to have them included. This is handled well in Contact Form 7.

      1. We can’t get it to attach the emails

        it looks like it should but the attachments do not get through

        were working with our hosting company to see if something is blocking it

        any ideas?Thanks

        1. you can try to install an SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP and configure it with your outgoing email settings, maybe it will work

  • Hi,
    I’m using Pro version and I’ve an upload progress problem.

    When I try to upload multiple files (14 files about 3/4mb each) upload start correctly.
    When the 5th files upload is complete all the progress bar freeze.
    You can wait for 1 hour but nothing happen and the upload seems to be stopped.

    If I look in ftp folder I can found all the 14 files so the upload is correctly finished but in the upload page I still found the stopped/freezed upload.

    How can I solve the problem?

    It doesn’t happen with lower dimension files.

    Thank you

    1. Today I solved the problem.
      I wrote here the solution because it can be useful for anyone else.

      The problem was the concurrent files upload.
      By default the maximum concurrenf file upload, chunck upload etc was setted to -1 (no limit).

      I try to set it to 2 files maximum and now it work perfectly.
      Probably too much connection and concurrent upload make the server “unhappy” XD

      My hosting is on Aruba.it.

  • Hello, is it possible to change “Upload in progress” label to some custom text? I can’t find a corresponding option to do so.

    1. Hi, this is a translatable string. You need to:

      1. go to to the plugin’s folder inside /languages folder
      2. download file wp-file-upload-en_US.po
      3. open that file with Poedit, locate the string “Upload in progress” and put as translation the text that you want
      4. save the file; when you save it, another file will be created as well with .mo extension
      5. Copy both files to /languages folder (they will replace the existing ones).

      This is it. This will work if your WordPress website is in English. If it is in another language, then you will have to edit the corresponding .po file.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    First off your plugin is great! Thank you. I am using the Pro-Version and I noticed that an email notification won’t send at all if the files that are uploaded are too large. Usually if the size totals 5 MB’s or more. I’m thinking this has something to do with my email client, but I tested my email client by sending a regular email with the same attachments I tried uploading and I did receive the email. However when I try uploading these same files, they do upload to the file directory, but it won’t send the notification email with files attached. Any suggestions?

  • I’m also having issues configuring Dropbox. When I click the “”Press Here” to enable Dropbox downloads” button it doesn’t open the window with the code to configure. Please help!

  • That’s disappointing. I’ve just purchased the Pro-Version, but it cannot be activated, because the plugin causes a “fatal error” So… the money i have spent was for nothing…

    1. Hi, I apologize for the delayed answer, you need to deactivate the Free version before activating the Pro one. Then it will work fine.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, unfortunately Google Drive is not integrated with the plugin, only Dropbox for the moment. It is in my plans to add it in a future version.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, this can be done with a hook. Here are instructions:

      1. Go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload / Hooks and add a new hook.
      2. Give it any title you want.
      3. Put the following code in the Code box:

      if (!function_exists('wfu_before_file_check_handler')) {
      function wfu_before_file_check_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
      $fullpath = $changable_data["file_path"];
      $onlypath = wfu_basedir($fullpath);
      $filename = wfu_basename($fullpath);
      $fileext = wfu_fileext($filename, true);
      $filename = date("Y-m-d-H-i-s", time())."-".$additional_data["user_id"].$fileext;
      $changable_data["file_path"] = $onlypath.$filename;
      return $changable_data;
      }
      add_filter('wfu_before_file_check', 'wfu_before_file_check_handler', 10, 2);
      }

      4. Set Status to Active and Save.

      The above will rename the filename to the format “YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-userID”.

      Regards

  • Hi,
    I have created an additional radio field and adjusted it to be vertically aligned. However, it only shows three items and the rest are disappointed (or may be at lower plugin’s edge but they are not shown). I’ve also tried to adjust plugin height dimension but it did’t work !
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks

    1. This problem is solved. But another one arises ! I tried to add extra user field but the all are cross over each other ! how to fix it ? 🙁

    1. Hi, you need to put something like this in Notifications Headers using the visual editor of the plugin:

      From: Nickboss <info@iptanus.com>

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. I’ve been trying to make this work all morning and finally found that you have to escape the around the email like this:

        From: Example Email <example@exampledomain.com>

        I’m using version 3.11.0 Pro

        1. Sorry for the last post. The formatting didn’t render as I intended but you can probably see what I’m trying to say here.

          The &lt> in the email address need to be replaced with &lt; &gt; like the following example:
          &lt;example@exampledomain.com&gt;

  • Hi,

    I want to allow any file extension, so I just use the default:

    Allowed File Extensions: *.*

    Now if I upload a file called:

    test.txt

    this is working fine. But when I try:

    test.fasta

    it fails. Why?

    Thanks for the great plugin!

    1. Hi Martin, the pattern *.* will not allow all files, but only the most common ones. This is a security feature to protect users, especially novice ones, from allowing hackers uploading dangerous content to their website.

      It is strongly recommended to create a white-list of allowed extensions, through the Allowed File Extensions attribute of the plugin, in order to restrict the types of files allowed to only those necessary.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        thanks for your fast reply. I totally agree with this, but lets say I define *.fasta as possible file extension. Now users can upload

        test.fasta

        but

        test.new.fasta

        will fail.

        I suggest there is no way to also allow such files, maybe a hack would be

        *.*.fasta?

        Thanks!

        1. By default files with more than one dot are rejected. This is another security measure to avoid double extensions. You can deactivate this restriction by going to Advanced tab in plugin’s area in Dashboard, locate option Wildcard Asterisk Mode and set it to loose.

          Nickolas

  • Hey there. Thanks for the plugin! I have one question. Fitmode being set to responsive doesn’t do anything for me. It breaks the page when I resize the browser or open in a smaller window. Any ideas why that might be?

  • Hi we have an error appearing only on apple devices works fine on windows chrome but errors on apple chrome / safari.

    We get an Unknown Error, we are using the pro version and is there somewhere we can discuss privately I don’t wish to post links /code publicly

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Is the plugin in someway compatible with Python ‘requests’ library?
    Or; Is it possible to direct start the upload sending which post values?

    The Python library gives possibility to select local file and target location.
    I asume there needs to be additional html ‘post’ values, like;
    name; upload_1, value; Upload File.
    name; upload_1_default, value; Upload File.
    name; ???, value; ???

    Thanks,
    Kind regards

  • How to filter from path or dir?
    I have any subfolders
    ex. A,B,C,D
    i want to choose one path only by C to download a page.
    to be code? [wordpress_file_upload_browser …]

    1. Hi, if you want to show files only from path C, then you need to put patternfilter=”*/C/*” in the shortcode. Just try it and let me know if it works.

      Nickolas

    2. [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”/Selected_Directory”]

      /Selected_Directory = (WordPress Installed directory)/wp-content/Selected_Directory
      Should be maked (WordPress Installed directory)/wp-content/Selected_Directory

      # mkdir (WordPress Installed directory)/wp-content/Selected_Directory
      # chown www-data. (WordPress Installed directory)/wp-content/Selected_Directory

  • Hi, I still struggle with the allowed file extensions for the upload.

    What I want:

    1) allow multiple dots in the file names
    2) allow the following file extensions: *.fa,*.fasta,*.fsa,*.txt,*.fna,*.fst

    What I did:

    put

    *.fa,*.fasta,*.fsa,*.txt,*.fna,*.fst

    as pattern in the “Allowed File Extensions”

    and in the “Advanced” settings I changed the “Wildcard Asterisk Mode” to

    loose

    From my point of view that should be it?

    Now some of my files are working:

    bats.txt
    bats.fasta
    bats.fa
    bats.fna
    bats.fsa

    but e.g.

    bats.fst
    bats.mx1.partial.fa
    bats.mx1.partial.txt

    are still not working. I always get:

    Upload failed!
    File not allowed.

    I tested now so many different things (changing order of the allowed patterns, switching on and off other wildcard related options in the Advanced settings, …). I dont know what else to get these files uploaded. Also setting everything to just ‘*’ is not working. I think there are some default file types that are allowed and some that are not?

    Thanks for your help,
    Martin

    1. I just figured out, that

      rodent.mx1.no_algerian_mouse.refactor_stops.fna

      is uploaded for some reason. But

      bats.mx1.partial.fna

      is not.

      ???

      1. Sorry for the many replies, but it seems that there is a problem with the word ‘partial’ or ‘part’ and the position where it is written in the file name?

        partial.bats.fna WORKS
        bats.partial.fna NO UPLOAD
        bats.part.fna NO UPLOAD
        bats.foo.bar.partial.fna NO UPLOAD
        bats.foo.bar.test.fna WORKS

    I have the short code of file uploader in a page. This page takes time to load. Sometimes 5 seconds or more. Also when I click on the main menu of the plugin, the same sort of delay is experienced.

    I use the pro plugin, however, this kind of delay is not really practical.

    Regards

    1. Hi, yes I agree with you. Can you please send me the URL of the page to check myself and also the shortcode?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • This plugin still doesn’t work properly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different, as explained here : https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory and despite this being the very first comment on this page 4 years ago!

    It’s because of the way you define `WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR` at the start of the plugin…

    “`DEFINE(“WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR”, ‘/’.substr(WP_PLUGIN_DIR, strlen(ABSPATH)) .’/’.dirname(plugin_basename (__FILE__)).’/’);

    The ABS path is pointing to where the WP files are, which is not the same directory as the wp-content files, so this generates incorrect paths. From then on all the assets can’t be found by the plugin and it falls apart.

    The correct (or at least, working for me) way to do it is…

    “`
    // DEFINE(“WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR”, ‘/’.substr(WP_PLUGIN_DIR, strlen(ABSPATH)) .’/’.dirname(plugin_basename (__FILE__)).’/’);
    DEFINE(“WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR”, (plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ )));
    // DEFINE(“ABSWPFILEUPLOAD_DIR”, ( substr(ABSPATH, -1) == “/” ? substr(ABSPATH, 0, -1) : ABSPATH ).WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR);
    DEFINE(“ABSWPFILEUPLOAD_DIR”, (plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )));
    “`

    1. Hi, through these 3 years there have been some changes in various versions (3.7.2, 3.2.0, 2.1.1) to cover the different cases between site_url() and home_url(). I suppose you have wp-content dir in another subdomain, so ABSPATH does not work? I realize that this case is not covered. I think your suggestions are correct, however WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR did not hold a URL (as generated by plugin_dir_url) but a path relative to the domain. So, you may face some problems with broken images. Nevertheless, I will change the plugin according to your recommendations (including necessary changes in other plugin files, not only these two constants). They will be included in the next release.

      Thanks

  • Hello,

    I bought the pro version recently and was wondering if the administrator can upload files with the file browser to provide users with files in their own upload path “uploads/%username%”…

    How can I solve this?

    Thank you!

  • I need to set up an email notification system for when someone uploads a document but I can’t find any place to set it up.

  • Hi, I’m having problem uploading files with FTP. Normal upload works fine.

    Getting: Upload failed! Unknown error

    My FTP server is hosted on azure whereby the username is XXX\XXXX. Would there by an issue due to the forward slash commenting out a letter?

    Shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”” uploadpatterns=”*.png*,*.jpg*,*.raw*,*.mov*,*.mp4*” forcefilename=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”user/user:password@waws-prod-sg1-001.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net” useftpdomain=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” chunk=”false” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/subfolders/captcha/progressbar/userdata/filelist/message”]

    Appreciate a prompt response and this is really urgent. Tq.

      1. I believe that this was the problem “It is used in cases where the file cannot be moved from temp dir to the final destination (using move_uploaded_file or copy PHP commands) because of folder permission restrictions (usually happening when the website is hosted in Windows server environment).”

        My server is hosted on azure at the moment which has restrictions on the folders. Onwards to next question, I tried using dropbox as an alternative but nothing happens after clicking on ‘press here’ to activate dropbox.

  • I am able to upload files when logged (as administrator) but when logged out I get the error
    Update failed! Unknown error.

    Here is my shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”upload-test” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”auto+”]

    The folder structure I am uploading to has folder attributes all 777

    Any ideas what is causing the problem?

  • Hi ,

    waiting for your reply , Please suggest us to resolve the error when user not logged get the error
    Update failed! Unknown error.

    Approximate 1 week waiting for your reply and suggestion even we using pro version of plugin

    1. Hi, this is not a simple problem and it probably requires some deeper search. As a next step I would suggest to deactivate all other plugin except WordPress File Upload and see what happens.

      1. Hi Nickolas ,

        i have check “wordpress-file-upload-pro” plugin by disabling all other plugins those used in website , but still error ” Upload failed! Unknown error. ”

        we are using pro version but still same issue as free version ..

        when we try to upload a file as quest , we getting this issue , But if we already logged in website as administrator, it work fine …

        Please suggest next step to resolve this issue … its too long approximate one week ,

        1. I have identified that the problem is maybe caused because a WordPress function, wp_verify_nonce, which is used to perform some security checks, does not behave well for guests in your website. If you provide me with admin access I can troubleshoot the problem fast, otherwise I can provide you with instructions, however it will take longer.

          Nickolas

          1. Yes , please provide me instructions so we resolve this , i hope you update us asap..

  • Hi,

    Do you think you could add support for having wordpress core in a separate directory from the content? For example, the wordpress install might be in site/wp, while the content and plugins are in site/content/plugins. It’s a fairly common practice, and is also used by a few frameworks like Varying Vagrant Vagrants and Bedrock (which I’m using). In these cases they define the WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL constants respectively, which wordpress uses for WP_PLUGIN_DIR/URL. For me ABSPATH points to the wp directory, but I think some people it points to the parent directory.

    Anyway the issue is that splitting directories breaks includes for js and css files. I made some changes to wordpress_file_upload.php to fix the uploader, but of course I’ll lose those if I update the plugin, and the admin interface is still broken. It’s basically just your defines of WPFILEUPLOAD_DIR and ABSWPFILEUPLOAD_DIR along with your wp_enqueue calls that need to be updated to use WP_PLUGIN_URL, I think.

    Cheers,
    Grayson Bartlet

  • Having problems downloading files. I keep getting files to with .crdownload added after the file extension.

        1. Unfortunately I cannot troubleshoot if I do not have admin rights. This is probably due to some web server restrictions or settings, however I haven’t seen it before and I do not have a clue of why it is happening.

          If you have the Pro version, please add the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload_browser] inside a page, set its visibity to all users (even guests), activate download option and send me the URL. Probably the same problem will appear in this file viewer as well when you try to download a file.

          Regards

          Nickolas

  • Hi, thank you for the plugin it’s been very useful. However, today it suddenly made my site inaccessible. I’m assuming it happened due to an auto-update of wp. I was able to regain access to my site by changing the name of your plugin folder. Is this plugin not compatible with the latest release of WP?

    1. Hi, yes the plugin is also compatible with version 4.7.4 of WordPress, just checked.

  • Hi.
    I have a question about PRO version.
    If I have a FTP directory named “project1”, I’d like to know if user have access to all the files included in the directory “project1” (not only the files uploaded via frontend but also the files uploaded directly via FTP)?

    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards.

  • How do you increase the line-height of the upload form? I tried entering line-height: 200% in the CSS but nothing happened.

    1. Hi, can you send me the URL of the page to check myself? what exactly do you want to do?

      Regards

  • Hello,

    I want to make the file transfers are encrypted over the internet. My wordpress site uses SSL (https) for entire site. Are the file transfers using SSL?

    I would use Pro version and not be using the ftp option in the plugin.

    Thank you,

  • Hello,

    We just updated to the newest version 3110, but the plugin don’t work it crashes the site with the following error: Fatal error: func_get_args(): Can’t be used as a function parameter in /home/www/hulpbijspss.be/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_admin.php on line 379

    We deactivated the plugin for now, is what is the problem?
    Is the old plugin available?

    Regards

  • This plugin has single-handedly taken my site down for the second time in a week. This time it is creating an error that makes js not work: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘jQuery.datepicker.setDefaults’)”

    When i make the plugin inactive the site works normally.

    1. Hi Sarah, this is a Javascript error, I am not sure if this error takes your site down. Perhaps there is something more. Is there a way of reproducing the error?

      1. It doesn’t take my site completely down, but it makes all javascripts not function. Maybe it’s a conflict with a different plugin. Really no way to reproduce it, my site’s JS works when the plugin is inactive.

  • I keep getting the message “File not allowed.” What is the correct syntax for allowing files in the Allowed File Extensions field. The ? does not load… thx

  • Can the pro version require user to be logged into the wordpress system? If so is there a way to attach the username to the file when it is uploaded or can it create a folder for the person.

    Also If i wanted a admin to view files from all users who uploaded anything can i do this?

    1. Hi Eric,

      1. you can configure the plugin so that only logged users can see it. The plugin has a visual editor for easy configuration. You can unclick “Include Guests” from Upload Roles and Upload Users options.
      2. You can create a separate folder for each user based on its username by setting Upload Path to be /uploads/%username% (or anything similar). The variable %username% will be replaced by the current user’s username. You can also put the username in the filename, however this is more complicated.
      3. The admin can view from the View Log tab in plugin’s section in Dashboard all the files that have been uploaded. There is also a File Browser which displays all the files.

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    All uploads goes to uploads/2017/05 folder instead separated folders named by page title. What’s wrong?

    Here is my code:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/%pagetitle%/” createpath=”true” forcefilename=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” placements=”filename/selectbutton/uploadbutton/filelist/message” uploadtitle=”Upload files.” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”prelomteksta@gmail.com” widths=”plugin:800px, filename:300px, uploadbutton:230px, progressbar:300px, message:250px” heights=”progressbar:50px” postlink=”true”]

    best regards, dusko

    1. Hi, you have set postlink=”true”, meaning that you want to attach the uploaded files to the post. However this can be done only if the files go to the default upload directory of WordPress. So the plugin overrides the uploadpath attribute.

      Nickolas

  • Hello,
    Is it possible to show different confirmation messages according to uploaded file extension.
    For example:
    *.jpg “Great! we will compress the file”
    *.gif “We will store this file for you”

    1. Yes it is possible but it requires to implement wfu_before_email_notification filter. What are the different extensions and separate messages?

      Nickolas

      1. They are 60+ extensions which are company specific data.
        If i have demo code of wfu_before_email_notification
        am i going to be able to edit accordingly the code (i`m not a developer)
        and which file i have to put this? functions.php

        Thanks for taking time to reply

        1. Ok here are instructions:

          1. Go to plugin’s section in Dashboard, in Hooks tab and add a new hook.
          2. Give it any title you want.
          3. Put the following code in the Code box:

          if (!function_exists('wfu_before_email_notification_handler')) {
          function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
          // Define here the message based on extension
          $message["jpg"] = "Great! we will compress the file.";
          $message["png"] = "We will store this file for you.";
          // Rest of code
          $files = explode(",", $changable_data["filepath"]);
          foreach ( $files as &$file ) $file = trim($file);
          if ( count($files) > 0 ) {
          $ext = strtolower(wfu_fileext($files[0]));
          if ( isset($message[$ext]) ) $changable_data["message"] = $message[$ext];
          }
          return $changable_data;
          }
          add_filter('wfu_before_email_notification', 'wfu_before_email_notification_handler', 10, 2);
          }

          4. Add more $message[“ext”] lines according to your extensions.
          5. Set Status to Active and Save.

          You are done. The message will depend on the file extension. Please note that if the extension does not match the ones you have defined, the default message will be shown (the one you have defined in the shortcode).

          Regards

  • Hey there,
    Thanks for the plugin!
    Fitmode being set to responsive doesn’t seem to work well.
    It breaks the page when I resize the browser or open in a smaller window or open on my mobile. Any ideas why that might be?
    Thanks a lot,
    Dennis

    1. Good morning,
      In addition, when I upload an image:
      * On the page itself it doesn’t give me a message, that it succeed or failed, the page just goes back ‘default’ (blanks fields). I do see the uploaded image in the upload folder, so the upload has succeed.
      * I don’t receive a confirmation email, while Notify by email is ON and I entered our company email address (not yet useremail). I read your documentation ”; probably I need the SMTP plugin to solve this. Can you please confirm (I’m just an amateur…)?
      Thanks again
      Dennis

        1. Hi Nickolas,
          The shortcode is:

          Thanks for checking.
          Dennis

          1. Hi Dennis, please include message block using Placements tab of the visual editor of the plugin, so that you can see whether the upload was successful or not. Regarding the email, everything seems ok in the shortcode. Did you check your Spam? otherwise, you should install an SMTP plugin.

            Nickolas

          2. Hi Nickolas,
            Thanks.
            The emails were automatically forwarded to a subfolder, as the subject contained wordpress… Also I added the message box. Works great now.

            I have this question open:
            Fitmode being set to responsive doesn’t seem to work well.
            It breaks the page when I resize the browser or open in a smaller window or open on my mobile. Any ideas why that might be?

            Also a new question, but will open separate post for it.

            Page now is https://www.moretogift.com/submit-gift-ideas/
            Thanks
            Dennis

          3. Regarding responsiveness, I suppose you want the user field textboxes to wrap below their labels when the page width is small. First of all remove the width and height attributes from “User Fields” item in Dimensions. Let me know when you do that so that I can propose some additional css settings.

            Nickolas

    2. Hi Dennis, there must be an incompatibility with your theme, can you send me the URL of the page to check?

      Regards, Nickolas

  • hi!

    whatever I change with FILESIZE, i am only able to upload some very small textfiles with a few kb. anything else is denied. the server allowes unlimited upload (shown on plugins overview page).

    any idea how to find the error causing those files are not uploaded?

      1. I get the error that the file couldn’t be uploaded.
        i tried several TXT files and only very small ones are uploaded – to be honest I am not sure if this problem is due to the filesize, but there are no differences between the text files, only files sizes varies…..

        1. Hey!

          Looks like I found the error – which was kind of misconfigured server.
          But another issue I have to deal with – how can I get the plugin to let me upload ZIP and RAR files – is there a list I can see which files are allowed by WP and a chance to add new filetypes?

          1. and now, after several tests – i wanted to delte the log file.

            i got the following error and now all settings are gone as well and the instance is deleted 😮

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I have been trying to add links to facebook and instagram in the email body.
    By just typing the url’s, it works as expected.

    By typing the text below I hoped to see just Facebook and Instagram to appear as a link:
    Facebook and Instagram

    Instead in the email it is showing this exact text. I guess the email is not HTML.
    A step further, I would prefer the have the facebook/instagram logo with a link to our FB/Insta pages in the email body.

    Thanks again
    Dennis

    1. I suppose you want the email to be in HTML format right? You need to add the following inside the Notification Headers box: Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

      Nickolas

        1. Hi Dennis, please put the following css inside the Custom CSS area of the shortcode using the visual editor of the plugin:

          div.file_userdata_container { white-space: normal; }
          div.file_userdata_fieldwrapper, div.file_userdata_fieldwrapper_required, div.file_userdata_fieldwrapper_required_empty {
          width: 430px;
          height: 40px;
          margin-bottom: 2px;
          }
          label.file_userdata_label { width: 430px; }

          Nickolas

          1. Hi Nickolas,
            I searched for some time, but without results. Could you please be more specific about exactly where I can put the css?
            Thanks,
            Dennis

          2. Hi Dennis, I apologize for the delay, you need to open the visual editor of the shortcode, here are instructions how. There is a tab, Custom CSS. This is where you need to put the css.

            Nickolas

          3. Hi Nickolas,
            I don’t see the custom CSS tab, but understand now that this is part of the paid version.
            I will get it, I like your plugin.
            Thanks again
            Dennis

    1. Hi, you mean on top of the email body? If you make the email in HTML format, then you add a banner image like this:

      <img src="..." />

      where you need to add the URL of the image in src attribute.

      Nickolas

  • also you should change the std valiue for german label:

    Datei% filename% nicht hochgeladen
    should be:
    Datei %filename% nicht hochgeladen

    🙂

    1. maybe we need to use v2 without account? any more details word on this? sorry for the inconviniences….

      1. Hi, no please use RecaptchaV2. You also need to put the two keys (public and secret) for your domain taken from Google Recaptcha website in plugin’s Settings.

        Can you please send me the URL of the page to have a look? It should show up.

        Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I couldn’t reply on your post, so starting this one. Your comment 28-5-17 7.30pm was:
    “Regarding responsiveness, I suppose you want the user field textboxes to wrap below their labels when the page width is small. First of all remove the width and height attributes from “User Fields” item in Dimensions. Let me know when you do that so that I can propose some additional css settings.”

    I removed the w and h from the user fields.

    Thank you

  • Hi Nickolas

    I have a difference in behaviour on my localhost and my production server.
    On my production server:
    In the “WordPress File Upload Control Panel” I have 2 instances, both are on the same page, and each has a different “uploadid”. But When I hover on the link to edit the instance, they both have the same link. So I can only edit the 2nd instance.
    For example the link for both instances ends like this:
    …/wp/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wordpress_file_upload&action=edit_shortcode&tag=wordpress_file_upload&data=dKh5Fkt43Fx4gWQW

    If I create another instance, it changes the code after “data=” But it sets all of the instances to the same URL. So I still cannot edit any others, just one instance!

    On my localhost, these 2 links are different, so I can edit both instances.
    I guess that something has got out of sync. What can I do to sort it out, so that I can go in and edit both instances please?

    Thanks

    Patrick

    1. Hi Patrick, I suspect that it has to do with random variables not working properly in your website. Go to Advanced tab of the plugin’s ara in Dashboard, locate option Use Alternative Randomizer and set it to true. Then open Main tab again and see if something changed.

      Nickolas

      1. Hi Nickolas

        I can’t see what you mean by the “Advanced tab” and the “Use Alternative Randomizer”. Where are these? I can’t see them anywhere. Can you please give me step by step instructions to find them?

        Thanks

        Patrick

  • Hi,
    This plugin have any callbacks ?
    or api that i can work with ?
    I want to integrate this plugin with my other ajax form in my website. is that possible ?

    Thanks,
    Niv

    1. Yes it has a lot of filters to hook on and also a Hooks functionality in Dashboard to implement the hooks without having to put them in functions.php or change the plugin’s code. In this page you can find instructions how to implement the hooks and in this page documentation for all the hooks.

      Nickolas

      1. Thanks, it helped a lot.
        I also have another question –
        there is any case the plugin have stop upload button ? ( didn’t find it )

        Thanks,
        Niv.

        1. Yes if you add the filelist element in the uploader (the one that shows the list of selected files), when the upload starts you will see a “cancel” icon next to each file. So you can cancel the upload of each file individually.

          Nickolas

    1. This is what WordPress tells me.

      “Let this plug-in developer know that you are using the plug-in for a Word-press.com site, not a Word-press.org self hosted site as they may need to adjust their paths”

      Did I install the wrong version?

      Please Help.

      1. The answer from them is not related to the problem. I switch to email support for proposing some workarounds.

        Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas

    In reply to your comment on 5 June:

    I can’t see what you mean by the “Advanced tab” and the “Use Alternative Randomizer”. Where are these? I can’t see them anywhere. Can you please give me step by step instructions to find them?

    Thanks

    Patrick

    1. You have the Pro version right? If you go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload you will see an Advanced tab. In there you will see a lot of options. Locate the one “Use Alternative Randomizer”.

      Nickolas

      1. Hi Nickolas.

        No it’s the standard version. So is this not possible without the Pro version? Is there a programmatic way to set the option instead?

        Thanks

        Patrick

        1. Yes, you need to put the following code:

          if ( isset($GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_ALTERNATIVE_RANDOMIZER"]) ) $GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_ALTERNATIVE_RANDOMIZER"][3] = "true";

          at the end of functions.php file.

    1. Hi, unfortunately no it cannot be integrated inside a contact form because you cannot have nested form elements. However the plugin’s upload form can be used as a contact form as well.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • if i buy the pro version can you help me

  • My question is about how “Plugin Component Widths” works ?

    I uncheck “Relax CSS Rules” but changing values in Plugin Component Widths do not change the width of components.

    I own the pro version

    Than you!

    1. Hi, you need to put ‘px’ after each value, e.g. for a width of 100 pixels you need to set 100px

  • File Size Problem
    I have the simple shortcode
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”/uploads/da/%userid%” maxsize=”5000″]

    and it works fine for kB files and but for a file a few MB I get the following error
    “Upload failed! The uploaded file exceeds the file size limit of the server. Please contact the administrator.”
    Any insight is appreciated

    1. Hi, are you using the Free version? The Free version has file size restrictions imposed by your web server. Do you know how to check your PHP settings?

      Nickolas

  • Hard to style all the form elements individually when the class and id def’s are all contained within table & div’s that all have the same generic classes and styles applied? It becomes quit a mess with a lot of options and no way to target specific containers without javascript. Also do you really need tables in their, that’s bad layout IMHO.

    For instance I may want borders on some table elements and not others. You really need to have specific container identification even if it’s just id=”file_upload_cont_(1,2,3,..)” or someway of targeting every step in the layout.

    1. Hi Richard, it is very hard to position elements correctly without table structure. Unfortunately themes impose their own styling rules and mess the plugin. Nevertheless, CSS3 is a very powerful language and you can have individual styling for each cell and their contents. I can help you with this if you tell me what do you want to do.

      Nickolas

  • I sent a message through the contact form, but I’ll post here as well. We bought the pro version, and everything appears to be working perfectly as long as the submission comes from a registered user. If the user is not registered the email notification doesn’t send to me. The file completely uploads in either case. Just the email notification doesn’t get sent.

    I use Postman SMTP plugin and I can see the email in the logs when it sends correctly, but no logs for the times it fails.

    Please help, thanks!

  • Hi. I’m using the Pro version and am having difficulty directing uploads to a specific dropbox folder. All uploads appear in the main directory of Dropbox regardless of the paths I add in settings. I’ve tried foldername, /foldername and foldername/ ??

      1. [wordpress_file_upload singlebutton=”true” maxsize=”500″ debugmode=”true” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”x@mywebsite.design” notifysubject=”New File” dropbox=”true”]

  • Hello everyone 🙂
    i want to display the names of files, that failed to upload, in email notification.
    Maybe anyone has a solution approach.

    I tried to do this via the “wfu_before_email_notification_handler” hook without success.

    This is what i have so far:

    if (!function_exists('wfu_before_email_notification_handler')) {
    function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
    if ( $additional_data["shortcode_id"] == "1" ) {
    $changable_data["message"] = $changable_data["message"]["value"] . $changable_data["error_message"]["value"];
    }
    return $changable_data;
    }
    add_filter('wfu_before_email_notification', 'wfu_before_email_notification_handler', 10, 2);
    }

    Email is empty with this.

    Thx in advance, Andre

    1. Hi Andre, doing what you want is not so straightforward. It requires to implement also wfu_after_file_upload filter to get info about the failed files (not included in wfu_before_email_notification hook). I will prepare a script and let you know.

      Nickolas

    2. So here is the correct code to include failed files in email message:


      if (!function_exists('wfu_before_email_notification_handler')) {
      function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
      $sid = $additional_data["shortcode_id"];
      $uniqueid = ( isset($_POST['uniqueuploadid_'.$sid]) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['uniqueuploadid_'.$sid]) : "" );
      $failedfiles = array();
      if ( $uniqueid != "" && isset($_SESSION["filedata_".$uniqueid]) && is_array($_SESSION["filedata_".$uniqueid]) ) {
      foreach ( $_SESSION["filedata_".$uniqueid] as $filedata ) {
      if ( !isset($filedata["upload_result"]) || ( $filedata["upload_result"] != "success" && $filedata["upload_result"] != "warning" ) )
      array_push($failedfiles, $filedata["original_filename"]);
      }
      }
      $failedfilename = implode(", ", $failedfiles);
      $changable_data["message"] = str_replace("%failedfilename%", $failedfilename, $changable_data["message"]);
      return $changable_data;
      }
      add_filter('wfu_before_email_notification', 'wfu_before_email_notification_handler', 10, 2);
      }

      To show the failed files in email message, add the variable %failedfilename% anywhere inside the body.

      Nickolas

  • Hi there, I am thinking about purchasing the pro version of this, but I have a few queries beforehand.

    I have a printing company, can you let me know if this form can be customized to do the following:

    1) User upload front-end file size max 50-80MB
    2) Validate file size via dpi must be 125 dpi or higher (through image properties data?)
    3) Validate file type, only accept if its jpeg or png
    4) Show image preview once the user has uploaded the file
    5) Integrate with the woocommerce shopping cart feature that I already have on my wordpress site

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1) the plugin has a maxsize attribute
      2) it can be done with plugin’s hooks, however you need to have GD library installed in your web server to handle image files
      3) you can specify allowed extensions
      4) can be done but requires some coding
      5) it has not been implemented, requires customizations

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        I am a bit new at this but I am happy to install the GD library in my web server so it can check the dpi settings of uploaded photos. Might you be able to let me know how to do the rest of it? I don’t know how to code… I am willing to buy this but would need some confirmation that it could be customized to fit what I need. Do you have an email where we could talk about this?

  • Hi,

    The Uploader works great so far. Only the additional fields don’t. If i use ‘Simple Text’, ‘Multiple Text’, ‘Email’ etc. the upload don’t progress if i click the upload button. The other additional form fields like ‘Checkbox’ works great.

  • uploading files spaces and dashes removed

    All spaces and dashes are removed from the files when uploading. is it possible to keep these spaces and dashes?

    for example we get files named “123 filename 7-12-2017.pdf” and it ends up looking like “123filename7122017.pdf”

    in the pro version i see “Filename Sanitization Mode” set to “strict” in the settings. but i dont want to set this to loose if it allows my server to get hacked or something. i would rather deal with the spaces.

    1. Hi, there is a setting “Do Not Change Filename” in the visual editor of the shortcode to leave the filename unchanged, however there is a bug. Until the next version is released which fixes this problem, there is a workaround using a hook. Here are instructions (for the Pro version):

      1. Go to Dashboard area of the plugin, in Hooks and add a new hook.
      2. Give it any title you want.
      3. Put the following code in the Code box:

      if (!function_exists('wfu_before_upload_handler')) {
      function wfu_before_upload_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
      foreach ( $additional_data["files"] as $ind => $file )
      $_SESSION["wfu_filenames_".$additional_data["unique_id"]][$ind] = $file["filename"];
      return $changable_data;
      }
      add_filter('wfu_before_upload', 'wfu_before_upload_handler', 10, 2);
      }
      if (!function_exists('wfu_before_file_check_handler')) {
      function wfu_before_file_check_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
      $ind = -1;
      $unique_id = $additional_data["unique_id"];
      $file_unique_id = $additional_data["file_unique_id"];
      if ( isset($_SESSION["filedata_".$unique_id]) ) {
      foreach ( $_SESSION["filedata_".$unique_id] as $find => $data )
      if ( $data["file_unique_id"] == $file_unique_id ) {
      $ind = $find;
      break;
      }
      }
      if ( $ind > -1 && isset($_SESSION["wfu_filenames_".$unique_id][$ind]) ) {
      $filepath = wfu_basedir($changable_data["file_path"]);
      $changable_data["file_path"] = $filepath.$_SESSION["wfu_filenames_".$unique_id][$ind];
      }
      return $changable_data;
      }
      add_filter('wfu_before_file_check', 'wfu_before_file_check_handler', 10, 2);
      }

      4. Set Status to Active and Save.

      This hook will leave the filename intact.

  • Hello,

    I can’t seem to get the email notifications to work.
    Just will not send the emails.

    Can you help?

      1. Very new to all this. What do you mean by that mate?
        I put this on the page [wordpress_file_upload notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”jacob@steppingstonesru.co.uk” notifysubject=”” notifymessage=”” attachfile=”true”]

        1. Hi, it seems that your email subject and body are empty, so an email will not be sent. You need to put something in notifysubject and notifymessage.

          Nickolas

          1. Have you checked your Spam? maybe it goes there.

            Sometimes the outgoing mail settings of the website are not correctly configured, so emails are not sent. To resolve the issue you can try to install an SMTP plugin, like WP Mail SMTP or Easy WP SMTP, configure it and then try again with the upload form (just do not forget to put something in email subject and body).

            Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I’m close to buying this plugin but I wanted to make sure this can do what I want as this is the only plugin I’ve researched that comes remotely close in the description. This is whats on my job input sheet:

    The guys need an easy to use drag and drop application

    They want to remove, add or relocate files easily by the administrator

    This is a password protected area

    User Name will be the company name ( Is there a character count that we need to stay with in ? )

    Password will most likely be a job number

    There needs to be a responder to the client with a letter that has two fields in only that the client can get that has their USERNAME and PASSWORD that anybody dealing with the job can assign to a customer.

    Thanks for any info you can give.

    1. Hi Troy, this is a front-end file upload plugin, so it will allow users to upload files to the website from a page or post. What is this password protected area? Is it at the Dashboard, or a front-end page?

      Nickolas

      1. from my understanding what they mean by password protected area is that when the user is on the page (front-end) where they upload files, they must first login on the front-end to upload files. Also with their password they will be only able to see the files authorized to that password. Can this plugin do all this?

        1. The plugin stores information about the user who uploads a file. So, the file viewer (included in the plugin) can be configured to show to that user only its own files. Is this want they want?

          Nickolas

          1. I’m thinking it’s close to what I’m looking for as long as when the user puts in his info they ONLY see their files and not the backend of the site. I guess I’m a little confused on where the user would view the files. Would they be on the same page where I put the login for the plugin? Do you have a demo site I can look at?

          2. The Pro version includes a file viewer that can be added in any page or post, just like the upload form. It will show the uploaded files and it is very flexible and configurable, so that it displays only the files of the currently logged user. You can have a look at http://staging.iptanus.com/test/ where I have the upload form and the file viewer on the same page.

            Nickolas

        1. Yes wfu_after_upload hook allows to add Javascript, you have the Pro version (instructions change)?

          Nickolas

  • I’m having difficulty uploading files to my ftp site with a “Upload failed! Unknown error” message. I believe the naming convention is correct. I also have “ftp domain” turned on and “passive mode” turned off. Can you please advise? Here is the code I’m using:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpatterns=”*.zip, *.eps, *.jpg, *.mp3, *.pdf, *.png, *.gif, *.tif, *.psd, *.ai, *.indd” maxsize=”60″ accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”kdbmxxxxxxx:Password@ftp.kdbmediaworks.com” useftpdomain=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”{root}/{Wordpress_Uploads}” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/subfolders/userdata/message/progressbar” widths=”userdata:150%, message:150%” heights=”title:200%, filename:200%, selectbutton:200%, uploadbutton:200%, uploadfolder_label:200%, progressbar:200%, userdata:200%, userdata_label:200%, message:400%” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Your Name|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:inline|d:/Your Email|t:email|s:left|r:0|a:0|v:1|p:inline|d:|g:0/Phone Number|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:inline|d:/Message|t:multitext|s:left|r:0|p:inline”]

      1. It did not work without subfolders so I started over to simplify things. This is my new code that still does not work. Does it matter if it is a “sftp”? Can you please advise? Thank you!!
        [wordpress_file_upload accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”kdbm41xxxxxx:password@ftp.kdbmediaworks.com”]

        1. Yes if it is sftp it will not probably work. Unfortunately sftp is not supported by the plugin yet. What if you try ftpinfo=”kdbm41xxxxxx:password@ftp.kdbmediaworks.com:22″ ?

          Nickolas

  • Hello,
    I try to activa a Hook. But cannot be activated because the code contains errors. I can’t find any syntax errors

    This one:

    if (!function_exists(‘wfu_after_upload_handler’)) {
    function wfu_after_upload_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
    $changable_data[“js_script”] = ‘alert(“It works”)’;
    return $changable_data;
    }

    add_filter(‘wfu_after_upload’, ‘wfu_after_upload_handler’, 10, 2);

    }

    1. The Hooks functionality has an internal process of checking the hooks for errors, however it is sometimes blocked by the security settings of the web server. Go to Settings of the plugin and activate option “ModSecurity Restrictions”. Then try to activate and save the hook again.

      Nickolas

  • Hello,
    we try the uploader, we need the Additional Data Fields. My query:
    1. It is possible to enter the value and listentry separately for the dropdownbox? 🙂 we are at germany and want not have umlaut in pathname
    2. is is possible to create Additional Data Field ‘hidden field’`?

    Greetings from Germany

    Ralf

    1. Hi Ralf, can you give me an example about the first question?

      Regarding the second, yes you can hide any Additional Field using CSS.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • can i use hooks to log all upload failures also? right now it only shows me successful files uploaded. any chance i can use a hook to have the files that didn’t work show up? we get hundreds of files per week and people are claiming they have a successful notice on their upload, but it isn’t there and isn’t in the log. i think they are lying, but i can’t say that unless i have log proof in front of me.

      1. i really just wanted the log to show a failed notice and any info that could be recorded but i am fine with having a directory where they go also. “failed” folder is fine.

        it is just so i can see the attempts people make. the form is hidden behind a user/pass so i don’t worry about hackers uploading bad files. those file types are blocked anyway.

          1. Hi Alexander, sorry for the delay, it wasn’t so simple. So, you can log failed files in the Log Viewer by creating a hook. Here is the code for the hook:

            if (!function_exists('wfu_after_upload_handler')) {
            function wfu_after_upload_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
            $user = wp_get_current_user();
            foreach ( $additional_data["files"] as $file ) {
            if ( substr($file["upload_result"], 0, 5) == "error" ) {
            $str = "Upload failed for file: ".wfu_basename($file["filepath"])."\n";
            if ( is_array($file["user_data"]) && count($file["user_data"]) > 0 ) {
            $str .= "User data:";
            foreach ( $file["user_data"] as $user_data )
            $str .= "\n\t".$user_data["label"].":".$user_data["value"];
            }
            wfu_log_action('other:'.$str, '', $user->ID, '', '', '', '', null);
            }
            }
            return $changable_data;
            }
            add_filter('wfu_after_upload', 'wfu_after_upload_handler', 10, 2);
            }

            It will show the files and also any user data. Let me know if this is Ok.

            Regards

            Nickolas

          2. Thank you Nickolas. this is greatly appreciated. This will help me track these users that are claiming they sent a file and it isn’t in the logs. great work!

            Be well,
            Alexander

  • Hi there,
    Something is strange going on all of a sudden. the uploader wont upload files as a guest but it works just fine if your logged in. We just get the error “Upload failed! Unknown error.” Nothing has changed, I have updated to the latest version of File Uploader. Is there something new in the latest version that needs to be set to allow guests to upload? Please advise.

    thank you.

        1. Hi, I just tried 2 image files, one small and one large and they both succeeded. From what browser did you try?

          Nickolas

      1. Found the issue. looks like they installed a plugin called WP-SpamShield and i guess it blocks uploads from guests. Thanks anyway for looking into it.

        Keith

  • Hello, I have implemented the free version of the plugin and am testing. When I submit the upload it says: “File uploaded successfully but there are warnings!” The warning listed is: “Notification email was not sent due to an error. Please check notifyrecipients, notifysubject and notifymessage attributes for errors.”

    I have checked the 3 areas indicated and there don’t seem to be obvious errors and I’ve made sure to put something in each field so they are not blank.

    The file uploads correctly on the backend but no email notification is generated. What else can I do to trouble shoot?

    1. Hi, please send me the shortcode to check. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with the plugin, but the outgoing email settings of your website are not configured properly. A way to resolve this is to install and configure an SMTP plugin, such as Easy WP SMTP or WP Mail SMTP.

      Regards

      Nickoals

      1. Hi Nickolas,
        Thanks for your response. I got it working with Sendgrid. Is this plugin secure enough to use with sensitive data? Like for use in the banking industry? Also, is there a way to password protect the uploader so that someone with nefarious intent couldn’t upload anything they wanted?
        Thanks in advance.
        JK

        1. Hi, in general an upload plugin may impose several risks to a website if it is not well designed. That is why we have often audits by WordPress security experts (twice per year). We have made a thorough analysis of potential security risks and we have tried to address all of the them. Here is an article explaining security of the plugin in detail.

          Regards

          Nickolas

  • Hi,
    I bought the pro version of the plugin and i have sent you a message concerning the mobile upload.
    Is it possible to allow multiple selection file upload on mobile phone?
    I have tried but it is working,only the single selection,please can you help?
    Thanks

    1. Hi, unfortunately the ability to select multiple files is a feature of the browser, not the plugin. In most mobile devices multiple file selection is not allowed yet. You can check this page for details.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    We are using pro version and everything is messed up unable to upload files, all graphic plugin layout not working

    When we debug found it shows

    /ntent/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/images/loading_icon.gif

    this is wrong url it must be

    /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/images/loading_icon.gif

    Can you please tell us where to change this?

    Thanks

    1. I m not talking about only loading_icon.gif file all images inside that plugin shows same url
      /ntent/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/

      because of that nothing works

    2. The plugin reads the path of its images using plugin_dir_url() function of WordPress (I suppose you have the latest version). Have you changed anything in WordPress settings, like WP_PLUGIN_URL?

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, by default the plugin “sanitizes” filenames by replacing non-latin characters and spaces with dashes. There is an option to leave the filenames intact, so in this case all characters will be allowed.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    I bought the PRO version and managed to setup the plugin on http://mittelstand-wahl2017.de/.
    There are no problems uploading larger files to the server via desktop. When I try to upload files via mobile it doesn’t work. Any solutions on that? It’s really crucial to get this running asap. Thanks!

    Best regards,
    Christopher

    1. Hi John, just answered by email. Can you please ask your host if they have any security rules that reset session for non-logged users?

      Nickolas

    2. Thanks! Going to put the solution here for others to search for…

      We host with WPEngine, and they have the CACHE on each page. So, the guests could not upload due to a session issue. Once they removed the CACHE from that page, it now works to upload as a guest from any browser or any device! EXCELLENT!

      1. thanks for this comment, now that I know how to reproduce the error I may find a workaround without having to remove page caching

        Regards

        Nickolas

    1. Hi, yes, zip files are not allowed by default. You need to declare them in Allowed File Extensions using the visual editor of the plugin. It should be like this: *.*, *.zip

      Nickolas

      1. Yes, I have tried that as well. Still, fails. The specific error is…
        Upload Failed!
        File not allowed.

        I have used some other apps to upload files and haven’t had an issue so I think that will rule out mod_rewrite and permissions issues.

    1. Hi, yes this is now allowed by default. You need to go to Advanced tab in Dashboard area of the plugin, locate variable Wildcard Asterisk Mode and set it to loose.

      Nickolas

  • Hello, I have a problem. If a dot exists in the file name, the plugin refuses to save the file. File not allowed. (Sorry, not a dot, but a dash)

  • Hi there. Great plugin. Thank you for creating it.

    Quick question.

    Is there a way that I can append certain uploads to certain order numbers? I edited my vieworders.php file in my Woocommerce My Account Folder and the uploads show up fine under View Order.

    Here is what I would like to do:

    —You upload 3 files on September 1 and the 3 uploads show up under Order #2001, for example.

    —You upload 1 file on September 2 and that one upload shows up under Order #2002, for example.

    Right now, if you place another order on Sep 2, it will show 4 uploads on Order #2002 (the 3 you paid for on Sep 1 and the one you paid for on Sep 2).

    Is that possible? To segregate uploads based on order numbers?

    Thanks!!

    Pavon

    1. Hi, one workaround is to add an additional user field in the upload form so that the user types the Order number in there. Then, you can have the uploads categorized based on order number. Is this a possible solution?

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, I see a lot of javascript errors in Dev console generated when page loads. It seems that the plugin javascript files are loaded late after the HTML code (defer attribute exists in HTML code that loads the js file of the plugin). Can you change this?

      Nickolas

  • Hi, I’m getting this error when trying to activate plugin:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM … wp-file-upload/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 301

    W.P. version 4.81

    1. Hi, I have received reports about similar errors again, however I do not know what it is. There is no T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in the plugin. Maybe this is a parse error of the zip file. I would recommend to try the latest version.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Thanks for your response. I have all the latest versions of WP, I deactivated all the plugins I have, tried an older version of your plugin, all with the same result 🙁

  • Hello again, I managed to get the installation working. It had to do with some use of :: instead of -> in certain PHP files. Now the error has been transported to another file: /lib/wfu_admin.php line 380. I get this error when clicking on settings/Wordpress file upload menu: Fatal error: func_get_args(): Can’t be used as a function parameter

  • Latest version has a bug-

    WordPress File Upload Control Panel > Filters > Allowed File Extensions set to *.*
    yet when trying to uploads a file with extension .hccap
    results in

    “Upload failed!
    File not allowed. “

    1. Hi, not all extensions are allowed by default for security reasons. Even *.* will allow only the most common media and document extensions. To allow .hccap you need to put *.hccap or *.*,*.hccap in Allowed File Extensions. You can also read this article about allowed file extensions.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I have just installed WP Upload Pro and have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. ( I am also new to WP so please bear with me).
    1, I am using Memberpress Plugin on my site and want to include some of the user field content from this within my email notifications in WordPress upload Pro. Is this possible?
    2, Is it possible to limit the amount of files users can upload in one go?
    3, I’m finding that if a user upload the wrong file format it doesn’t tell them, it just says upload failed. Is there somewhere I can change this? (Whatever you tell people they will always do the wrong thing).

    Regards
    Paul

    1. Hi Paul, here are answers:
      1) Probably it can be done easily. I suppose Memberpress stores user field content as user metadata (a common term in WordPress, easily retrievable). So we can retrieve this information with PHP and put it in the email using a plugin hook.
      2) Yes it can be done with another hook like this: the user selects as many files as he/she wants and presses the Upload button. If the number exceeds the limit, then the upload will fail with a custom notification message (like “you can only upload x number of files”).
      3) There is an additional message showing up if you press the down arrow next to each file. The message says “File not allowed!”. If you want to change it, again it can be done with a hook.

  • I cannot get the upload form to display on Safari or Microsoft Edge. I see a lot of other people reporting the same thing but no resolution. Is there a fix or is it just not compatible?

    1. Hi, the plugin has been tested in both browsers and seems to be working fine (at least in my test environment). It doesn’t display at all? maybe it is because you are not logged in these browsers and you have configured it to be hidden for guests?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, I’m the Pro version with Buddypress, I’ve added a file list to each member’s profile and it’s working fine except you have to be logged in to see them.

    I need the files to be visible to logged out users (i.e. public) but ONLY files uploaded by the member whose profile you are currently viewing. So, for example, when you visit user01’s profile (e.g. http://www.domain.com/members/user01) you will only see files uploaded by user01, but do not need to be logged in to see them. Currently if I’m logged in as user01 they show just fine, but not if I log out.

    I’m guessing I can achieve this with the userdatafilter but not sure what variables to use?

    Many thanks, great plugin!

    1. Hi, unfortunately it is not so simple. Every user needs to have its own specific shortcode to include the username in it. The easiest way to do this automatically is to edit the template that generates the user profiles. How did you add the file viewer’s shortcode in the member’s profile?

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, just install the Pro version from the zip file. Before you activate it, you need first to deactivate the Free version. You will not lose any settings you have already made.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, this is more of a pre-sales questions if you don’t mind.
    I would like users to be able to upload a file (within their profile form) and have these files only visible by that user (and admins) but essentially the files need to be linked to that user only.

    Is this functionality possible with your plugin? I note it says attached to Pages/posts so wasn’t sure how suitable within a form.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi, the Pro version has 2 file viewers:

      – one in the Dashboard for logged users who can view their uploaded files (only their own files)
      – one that can be added to any page or post and by default it displays the files uploaded only of the current user (but can be configured to do a lot more).

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    After upgrade php to 7 and update the plugin to 4.0.1 we get the error Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server, we have not big files to upload, max 100kb and it worked before with those settings.

    I read more questions about this here, but no anwsers? or im not looking good?

    Im not can provide you with a link, because this site is behind a login.

    Regards,

    Marcel

    1. Hi, the plugin’s latest version has been tested with PHP7. Maybe it is something not related to the plugin. Do you have access to the error log of your domain? I have sent you instructions to your email for enabling logging of uploads, in order to track errors.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, great plugin, thank you.
    However, I cannot get it to work. I am using Sela theme, on Chrome and Opera. Just the most basic shortcode i.e. [wordpress_file_upload]. Other shortcodes work fine.

    This is what I get:

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        Thanks for the quick response.
        I get this output on the webpage, if I publish the page. I have not published the page because of the error.

  • Hi NIckolas,

    I got the plugin working but I had to disable another plugin (WP Glossary).
    What is the easiest way to include an “action=post_upload_script.py” in the form? I know there are filters and actions, but all I need is to point the “action” attribute of the form to a desired script. How to do this?

    1. If you do this to the uploader’s form, then the upload will not work. You can do it with PHP by implementing wfu_after_upload filter and by calling your script. Do you know how to call your Python script from PHP?

      Nickolas

  • It does not allow ALL files to be uploaded. I have put *.* as the “uploadpatterns”, but it still rejects everything except .jpg files.

    ————-
    uploadpatterns=”*.*”

    Is this a bug?

  • Prezados amigos, antes de mais nada queria parabenizá-los pelo incrível plugin que criaram, a ferramenta me ajudou muito.

    Só gostaria de fazer uma pequena sugestão que aumentaria muito a poder do plugin.

    No campo “Filter by User Fields” poderia haver a opção de filtrar por algum dado do usuário logado.

    Dessa maneira não seria necessário criar uma lista de usuários no “Uploaded File List Instances”.

    Essa alteração permitiria automatizar a criação de usuários com diretórios de download específicos para cada usuário.

    Qualquer dúvida me avise.

    Grande abraço.
    Luiz Felipe.

    1. Dear friends,

      Frist of all I’d like to congratulate you for the amazing work on the plug-in. Your tool helped me a lot.

      I just wanna to make a little suggestion that would increase so much his strength.

      I was thinking that, in the field “Filter by User Fields”, we could be able to filter by some data of a user logged.

      Therefore, it would be not necessary to create a list of users in the “Uploaded File List Instances”.

      This change would allow the atomization of the creation of users with specifics downloads directories.

      Please let me know if you have any doubts about it.

      Best regards
      Luiz Felipe.

      1. Hi, I do not quite understand what you mean. There is an attribute in Filters to filter based on user (Filter by Users), which can be combined with Filter by User Fields. You mean something else?

        Regards

  • Hi. I had this plugin working before. I just updated to the most recent release, and I keep getting the message ‘no file selected’ even after selecting. Nothing appears to be happening with the progress bar or file status. Regardless I see that the files do arrive in the server folder, but no longer go to my DropBox account.

  • Hi,

    I’ve got a problem.
    I’ve a plugins for rental car.
    And since I’ve install your plugins. The calendar when I choose booking date changed style. And I Don’t want this calendar style.

    How do I retrieve the basic calendar style ?

    Thanks a lot.

  • Having problems with two optional fields on my form for additional email addresses. I have unchecked the required and validate options for the fields but would like the fields to be validated if the user enters data. As it stands the fields are always validated no matter what options are checked and therefor required even if left blank.

    1. Hi, version 4.0.1 contains 2 bugs regarding validation, one is that email fields are always validated (even if the users does not select to do so) and empty emails are not allowed even if it is not a required field. These bugs will be corrected in the next release, which is under preparation.

      Meanwhile, to resolve the problem in this version you can put the following Javascript code inside the page right below the shortcode:

      <script type="text/javascript">
      var wfu_correct_validation_bugs = function() {
      var sid = 1;
      window["wfu_check_required_userdata"] = function(sid, prompt) {
      var WFU = GlobalData.WFU[sid];
      var userdata_count = wfu_get_userdata_count(sid);
      var req_empty = false;
      for (var i = 0; i < userdata_count; i++) {
      WFU.userdata.props[i].store();
      var error_message = "";
      if (WFU.userdata.props[i].required) error_message = WFU.userdata.codes[i].empty();
      if (!(error_message !== "" || WFU.userdata.codes[i].validate == null || !WFU.userdata.props[i].validate)) error_message = WFU.userdata.codes[i].validate();
      if (error_message !== "") {
      if (prompt) WFU.userdata.prompt(WFU.userdata.props[i], error_message);
      req_empty = true;
      }
      }
      return !req_empty;
      }
      var WFU = GlobalData.WFU[sid];
      if (WFU.userdata) {
      var obj = WFU.userdata;
      for (var i = 0; i < obj.props.length; i++)
      if (obj.props[i].type == "email") {
      var codes = obj.codes[i];
      var props = obj.props[i];
      codes.validate = function() { if (obj.getValue(props) == "") return ""; var re = /^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i; return (re.test(obj.getValue(props)) ? "" : obj.error_invalid_email); };
      }
      }
      }();
      </script>

  • Hi,

    there is a little ‘unbeauty’ in the code: the hover effect of the buttons. The hover effect is not set by the css pseudo-class :hover. You change the class ‘.file_input_button’ to ‘.file_input_button_hover’ by using javascript.
    Maybe this is an issue for an upcoming update?

    thanks for your work.

    regards
    Sebbe

    1. Hi Sebbe, unfortunately it is not so simple. By default HTML forms style Select button their own way and you cannot change it. So I used a trick. The select button you see is a “dummy” button which stays on top of the real select button but it is inactive. So, when you press on it, you actually press the real button beneath. This way you can invoke the dialog for selecting files and you can also style the select button as you want. The drawback of this solution is that the same happens with hovering. When you hover in the button, the real button’s hover is invoked and not the dummy button’s one. I had to use Javascript so that whenever the real button’s hover effect is active a new class (file_input_button_hover) is given to the dummy button, so that a pseudo hover effect can be generated.

      It is a bit complicated, however I haven’t found a better workaround so far.

  • What can I add to shortcode to have the file browser only display files inside of specific target folders? This way a user can upload files in categories and then view them in categories.

    1. Hi, if you want to categorize the uploaded files, you can use a dropdown field, where the user must select a category. This info is stored together with the file. Then you can setup a file viewer (in Pro version), where a user can view its files. You can add a column in the viewer to display the category of the file. Furthermore, you can add a filter box on top of the file viewer, so that the user can dynamically filter the list based on category.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        Since I’m forcing, depending on visited page, files to be uploaded into uploads/%username%/NewFolder (replace NewFolder with whatever the category may be for that particular page), I am assuming the info is being stored together with the file already… So how can I setup the viewer to only show the user the “NewFolder” contents?

        Thanks

        1. Is the NewFolder category specific to page? With the file viewer shortcode you can define to show files only from specific page.

          Nickolas

  • I’m interested in buying the pro version but I need this requirements: user can upload max 3 pictures, is it possible? Thank you

    1. Hi, actually it can be done easily with a hook. When a user exceeds the limit, the hook will reject the upload notifying accordingly. I can help you with the hook.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I just bought the professional version and I’ve some issues:
    – reCaptcha, when ask for image verification, opening the box of images, when is verified, leave a white box covering other fields and button (what’s the difference between recaptcha with and without account ?)
    – reCatcha and other field box have an ungly black border
    – files are not uploaded in dropbox, they stay in transfer log windows forever

    Question: how to limite max 3 files upload per user?

    1. Hi, when you go to Main tab in plugin’s area in Dashboard, do you see any error message there (like Iptanus server unreachable)?

      Regarding the upload limit, I sent the hook to your email.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi,

    on the front-end, i would like to show to each user their uploads, is this possible with the professional version?

    Thanks,
    Fernando

    1. Hi, yes it is possible. The Pro version contains a second shortcode, [wordpress_file_upload_browser] which you can put in any page or post and it will display by default the files uploaded by the current user.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,
    i have the PRO version and i can’t seem doing a simple thing.
    I would like the page to refresh after upload.
    I tried with “Redirect after upload” setting “#” as URL but it doesn’t refresh.
    How can i achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Regards,

    1. Hi, no need to download it, it is already inside the plugin. When you activate French language in your website, the plugin will also turn to French.

  • Hi,

    The plugin has been working fine for months, however as of today, any user navigating to my website’s File Upload page just sees a loading icon and the words “loading visual editor”. All of the drop-down form fields are visible, but none of them display or retain any data, and the form cannot be submitted (the submit button does nothing)

    Any ideas what the issue could be? Nothing has changed on my site, and I’ve tried disabling firewalls (Wordfence), and tried on different browsers but they all have the same issue,

    I really don’t want to have to find an alternative plugin to use, so any help I could get would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,

    James

      1. Hello,

        I am getting the same “loading visual editor” message, but it never loads when I try to add the shortcode in a SiteOrigin Editor.

  • Hi

    Great plugin!

    How do i change the file notification so it comes from my name and email address instead of WordPress.

    Can this be set?

    Thanks.
    Mark

    1. Try to add the following line inside Email Headers attribute in the shortcode:

  • First of all, I’d like to thank you for creating this plugin. It is perfect for a radio station website I am developing.
    I have one question:
    Sometimes users may not remember to remove spaces from a filename before uploading. Is it possible to have those spaces replaced by underscores ( _ ) as part of the ‘Do Not Change File Name OFF’ setting?. In this way the URL link that is sent by email to the Admin will not be broken.

    Many thanks

  • Hi, nice plugin 🙂

    Users can view, download or delete their uploaded files in a page. This is working great.
    I’m wondering if it’s possible to have 1 or more accounts that can see al the uploaded files from everyone in a page? Like a master?

    Thanks
    M

    1. Yes you can add a new file viewer inside a page, configure it so that it is visible only to a specific role or specific users and configure Filters so that all files are listed in the viewer.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Thanks for the great plugin! Just bought a pro ver.
    Is it possible get and store more user data (like ip addresses, browsers and so on)?
    Also to make a kinda different/separate notification to admin about uploads and also with included the ‘more user data’?

    Thanks,
    P

        1. Ok, so here are the steps:

          1. First of all you need to create two simple text user fields to hold this info.
          2. When you add them send me the URL of the page with the upload form. I want to see and upload form and send you some css rules for hiding these 2 fields from the user.
          3. Afterwards I will send you instructions for creating a hook that will read the IP and user agent of the sender and store them in these two fields.

          Nickolas

          1. Hi Nickolas,

            Thanks for the help.
            Is any other way to send the link to you? just do not show it here in the forum
            Anyway, the new fields 4 and 5 in places in the user data array.

            Thanks in advance.

            BR, P

          2. Hi,

            I’ve just received your email. Got the plugin hook, things work well!
            Thanks for you help.

            Could you also check the plugin, as after wordpress update to v4.9, transfer to dropbox doesn’t work. I mean uploaded files hold in “Pending File Transfers”.

            BR, P

          3. Hi yes the plugin works fine for 4.9. Go to Maintenance Actions and press “Reset Dropbox Uploads”. Then check if the file was transferred.

            Nickolas

          4. Hi,

            WordPress v4.9, php 7.19

            Tried, but files are still in pending:
            – “Reset Dropbox Uploads” and other options there
            – downgrade php verion to 5.9
            – test the plugin on a different website with different wordpress template, it worked, but after 20-30 uploads went to penging as well

            Any ideas?

            Thanks

            BR,

  • My site allows users to upload a resume, if two different users happen to have the same resume filename, when the file gets uploaded they overwrite each other. Is there a way to automatically rename the file so they are not overwritten?

    1. Hi yes, there is an option for this in the visual editor. It is in General tab, File Duplicates Policy. You can select to keep both files with the same name. The most recent one will get an increment suffix.

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, are you trying to include the upload form inside another contact form? This will not work. However you can add user fields in the upload form using the visual editor of the shortcode, so you do not need the other contact form.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I’m currently working with the free version of the plugin. When a user tries to submit a file along with additional field data, and it fails (ie: due to incorrect file type), the additional field data disappears and the user must complete the additional fields again. Is there a way to make the additional field data “sticky”? Does the pro version solve this issue?

    Thanks kindly.

    1. Hi, unfortunately there is no straightforward way for this (even in Pro version), however it can be done with a little tweaking of the code maybe. I will get back to you.

      Nickolas

  • I want to buy the PRO version, but I need to know if it’s possible to archive the files after each upload ? (all user uploads will consist of multiple files)

  • I’ve already bought the plugin, and I’ve seen it puts all the files for a user in a folder with the user name (if you set the shortcode that way). Now I need to handle the situation in which a user submit files again in another session. So in the end files would ideally be in a subfolder (with submission date as name perhaps). Next I need to find a way to archive each subfolder, after creation. How does the plugins handle handle the situation when same user make separate submissions ?

    Thanks,

  • Hi there. I can’t seem to get the BCC to work under notifications. This is the syntax I’m using in the “Email Headers” option box: “Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
    BCC: Admin “.
    Any help on this would be grand!

    1. Oops. Looks like this editor stripped the actual email address out on the BCC line. I’ll add spaces to see if it will post it:
      Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
      BCC: Admin

  • My wordpress website doesnt allow the user to access the backend control panel, but I want them to be able to see the files only they uploaded, and delete any they want and upload more. Is this possible?

    1. Hi, yes you can add a front-end file viewer of the plugin (Professional version). Here is how to do it (read the Frontend File Viewer section).

      Nickolas

  • I only want users who are logged in to be able to see files, delete, upload etc. non logged in user cant see anything or do anything.

    1. Yes you can do this with the frontend file viewer. You need to configure Browser Roles and Browser Users attributes.

      Nickolas

    1. This is not so straightforward. However, it can be done using the Filter by Extension attribute. Can you give me an example?

      Nickolas

  • Hello, I have website where each user has two folders one folder holds the private files, and the other public files.

    I need to have TWO word press pages one that shows his the public files, and the other showing his private files, each page he can also upload only to public or private folder.

    But right i can upload to the correct folder, but the browser on both web pages keeps showing all the files from both folders.

    Is there a way the browser can be set to only show the particular users files from a particular folder only, instead of showing all of his files?

    Thanks

      1. For the private page i did this:
        [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/private/%username%” createpath=”true”]
        [wordpress_file_upload_browser candelete=true candownload=true patternfilter=”uploads/private/%username%”]

        for the public page i did this:
        [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/public/%username%” createpath=”true”]
        [wordpress_file_upload_browser candelete=true candownload=true]

        The result is that the upload works for public and private, files go into the proper folder, but the browser always shows all files from both public and private areas or some reason.

        How do i only show public or private files, on the separate pages?

        1. Ok thanks, in the file viewer that you want only files from private folders to show up, put the following in Filter by Extension attribute: */wp-content/uploads/private/*

          In the other browser put respectively: */wp-content/uploads/public/*

          Does it work?

          Nickolas

          1. No it doesnt show any files at all. Here is what i have for the private page

            [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/private/%username%” createpath=”true”]
            [wordpress_file_upload_browser candelete=true candownload=true patternfilter=”*/wp-content/uploads/private/*”]

            Is that what you meant? Any other suggestions?

            Thanks

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Could you help me with anissue?
    I’ve bought the plugin and I’m trying to setup it in a way we’re going to use that.
    We need automatically transfer uploaded files to dropbox. We set up all things in the plugin for this and started some tests. All things worked well, but after several transfers to dropbox, files stay in pending. We tried “Reset Dropbox Uploads” and other options there, reconnect to dropbox again, tested in php v 7.1, 7.0, 5.6, tested the plugin on a different website with different wordpress template, deactivated our other plugins, used “Force dropbox work with 32bit server”, but files still hold in pending, So, now we have no idea what to do next.

    Thanks

  • Hi Nickolas!

    I have the Pro version and everything working as described. Only with responsive tables I have an issue. There is a hidden row #0 in your script “wfu_frontend_browser.php” line 87. When the table is displayed on a small screen, the row #0 is not invisible anymore. Is there a way to deactivate that row #0?

  • Hi, i have a problema with candownload is true.
    I can not download a file … it gives me the following nginx error “11895#0: *5055317 access forbidden by rule”
    Can you tell me that I may have incorrectly configured.
    Best regards

    1. Hi, I think the security settings of your web server are preventing the plugin scripts to work properly and deliver the file. I guess your host has installed ModSecurity module in the web server, which works with rules. So rule 11895 causes the problem. You can deactivate this rule somehow, but you need to contact your host (or maybe you can do it yourself from the control panel of your web server).

  • Hi there, i am with Pro version and have been working on the upload to Dropbox function for a couple of hours. I can only work this out with IE, is this the only supported browser?

    Moreover, I just upgraded to wordpress-file-upload-pro-4.1.0 version, and found out the “File Select” button is not working anymore with Google Chrome, Firebox and Safari on iPhone.

    Do you have any idea of this?

    The upload page is here:

  • Hi Nikolas,

    I’ve 2 Questions.

    1) is it possible to show a Thumbnail from the picture the user is uploading, while he is uploading?
    2) How can I edit the [wordpress_file_upload_browser] Plugin, so that the users can see the pictures they have already uploaded and not only the filename – like a Gallery.

    Tank you!!
    Lars

    1. Hi, the first questions is interesting, I haven’t done tried it. Let me do some tests and get back to your.

      Regarding the 2nd question, you can add a new column in the file viewer that displays a thumbnail of the image (using a plugin’s hook). Is this Ok?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello Nickolas,
    is it possible or do you think you will allow to browse dropbox subfolders of the given Dropbox path?

    thanks a lot

    1. Hi, I suppose that phone number and name of uploader are filled in by the user in user fields?

      So, you can easily define Dropbox path to take these values. For example if you make it like this: /incoming/%userdata1%-%userdata2% and the user has entered 12345 for phone number and john for name, then the file will go to folder /incoming/12345-john in your Dropbox.

    1. Hi, probably an issue with your theme, it can be easily solved with some simple css, can you tell me the URL of the page where you have the plugin?

  • Is there a way to set a Div background image to what the user uploads? I want to have a div on the same page and when they upload the image the div will change background image to what they uploaded.

    1. Hi, in Free version only the admin can rename the files through the File Browser feature of the plugin in Dashboard. In Pro version the logged users can view the files they have uploaded from the Dashboard and they can also download, delete and rename them (depending on the permissions granted by the admin). This article describes some details of the Dashboard File Viewer.

  • I have the pro version installed and working to upload images to the media library correctly with user fields on a test site, but now when trying to get to work on a production site, the user fields doe not seem to be added to the attachment metadata data as was done on the test site. The images are being uploaded to the media library, but the user fields are not.

    After searching the database and the log, I see that the user fields are in wfu_userdata table, but not in the attachment metadata. Also I found that at first, the box on the setting page was unchecked (If enabled and the uploaded files are added to Media Library then any user fields submitted together with the files will be shown in Media Library). So I checked the box and tried again, but still do not get the user fields in the attachment metadata.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Hi, yes it can be done with some css styling. I can help you with that, however I need to see the page with the browser. Can you send me the URL?

      Regards

  • Hi! The plugin is great and so far, everything works fine. The only issue I experience is that no success message is shown after the upload although I filled in the respective field and it shows up in the generated shortcode. Is there something I’m missing and I need to activate or so to show the message about successful upload?
    Thanks in advance!

      1. Hi, sorry, took me some time to answer back because of the holidays. But I just wanted to share that I found the issue – absolutely my bad. I had the success message included in the shortcode but hadn’t assigned the respective plugin component “message” in the placement tab. Everything is working fine now! Thanks!

    1. Hi, here is a sample css code that will increase the spacing:

      div#userdata_1_0 { margin-top: 10px; }
      div.file_userdata_container { margin-bottom: 10px; }

      You need to put it in Custom CSS area of the shortcode.

  • Great Plugin (using the pro version) Would love to see an option to auto-populate the name and email fields for already logged in users to a site where I’m using this in a content restricted page as it feels weird that they have to enter their infor even tho they’ve logged in.

  • It’s not working for me I have a DIVI elegant theme and everything looks right comes up on the page and it says it uploaded the file but it’s nowhere to be found. Small JPG to test.

    1. Hi, if you go to View Log tab in plugin’s area in Dashboard, do you see the files as uploaded?

      Regards

  • Hi,

    I have WordPress File Upload Pro and it does exactly as required, but since moving hosts to 123 reg the max execution time keeps exceeding 120 seconds meaning my website gets suspended by 123 reg.

    This happens when a client uploads a database that is too large – can you recommend a solution to this?

    Thanks,

  • Hello,

    I use the upload the version 4.1.0 with Dropbox upload.
    I now have ethe problem with ZIP Files.

    When I try to upload a zip file with 70MB I get the following error:
    Upload failed!
    File not allowed.

    When I change the file extension to .PDF it works.

    “Allowed File Extensions” is set to *.*

    Do you have an idea what is wrong?
    Thanks

    1. Hi, yes the generic pattern *.* does not allow all files but only the most common ones (for security reasons). To include zip files, please set it like this: *.*, *.zip

  • Hi Nickolas,
    I’m trying to add multiple upload buttons onto the same form (page). Is there a way of either keeping them on the same instance or managing the multiple instances so the uploads can be seen as coming from the same form?

    1. Hi, I have seen your email also. This is not supported, however there might be a workaround, which I am trying to figure out. I will get back to you shortly.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    We have an issue with uploaded files.
    We setup a path for uploaded files like this /incoming/%userdata1%, as it contanes a client’s name.
    Also we setup the same path for dropbox. The plugin makes folder name in ftp exactly as a string in %userdata% field. So, when the string contanes spaces on the right or on the left, or some spec characters the string needs to be trimed as uploaded files can’t reach dropbox as the string with spaces on the sides can’t be made there.
    Could you help us to solve the issue? We need to trim() the string in %userdata1% before it’s stored in sql, placed to ftp or used in any other places.

    Thanks.

  • Hello,

    I´ve installed the plugin, everything was ok. Uploading is working but I can´t download the uploaded file from uploads in File Browser. How can I download it? Is it possible to donwload it in free version?

    Thank you.

        1. Ok, using Chrome or Firefox open the File Browser and press F12 to open Dev console. Locate a file uploaded by the plugin and press Download link. Do you see any errors in Console tab?

          Nickolas

  • A couple questions:
    1. Do people uploading files need to be registered users on the wordpress site?
    2. If I want files to be upload to dropbox, do the uploaders need to be registered with dropbox to do that?
    Thank you

    1. Hi Steve,

      1. You can configure the uploader so that only registered users upload files, or all (including guests). You can also restrict it even more to specific roles or specific users.
      2. No they don’t. The files will go to a Dropbox account of your preference, unknown to the uploaders.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Peculiar Problem with m4a files —

    I have this plugin working beautifully on a website. It has no problem uploading files of any type that I have on the allowed list … except for m4a. About 25% of the time, they will upload fine and be there. About 75% of the time, they upload, but the system won’t drop off the long extension it adds for uploading. The file ends up in the online folder, but the extra extension remain on it, and it is not listed in the file browser.

    Again, all other allowed file extensions work fine, but not m4a. Why is that and how do I fix it?

    1. Hi what is the shortcode you use? Furthermore, can you give me an example of an m4a file that fails? When the long extension does not disappear, it means that the file was not uploaded completely.

      Nickolas

  • Hi,
    I have the free plugin and was able to test the file upload function. However, I can’t delete files in the file browser. I click delete, confirm and they stay there. I have tried syncing the database but nothing changes.

  • Hi,
    For 2 weeks, when I put a file on a customer account he cannot open it. Instead, when he clicks on the link to open it he find a page empty with symbols like “?%@#E&” etc …

    Furthermore, the mail the customer receive to inform him he has a new file countain a link that doesn’t work (it leave to a blank page, systematically).

    Finally, when I look in my admin in theWordpress File Upload Control Panel I can read : Iptanus Services Server is unreachable. This may cause problems in some plugin functions.

    How Can I solve that ?

    Sorry for my bad English (Frenchboy)

    1. Hi Manuel, please tell me exactly how to put the file on a customer account. You upload it? what is the shortcode you use?

      Regarding the “Iptanus Server is unreachable” error, please read this article for resolution.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Using the pro version
    1) I get ” Iptanus Services Server is unreachable. This may cause problems in some plugin functions. Please contact info@iptanus.com for details.”
    2) The files upload to the selected directory but unable to have them appear in the media library.
    3) Email notifications body display only %userdata%

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1) Please read this article for resolution.
      2) You need to enable attribute “Add Uploaded Files to Media” using the visual editor of the shortcode.
      3) I suppose you have additional fields? To display them in email body you put %userdata1%, %userdata2% etc.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I am using the plugin and I like it a lot. It was definitely the best plugin among the ones I was considering.

    I do have a question though. My client is using a ftp server for their customers upload. Right now I have the upload path as %username% . Is there a way with this plugin that the plugin will automatically make the %username% folder on the server or will my client have to put the folder on the server manually before their customers can upload?

    1. If you activate option “Create Upload Folder” in the shortcode, then the plugin will automatically create the upload folder if it does not exist.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Great. Sorry but I few a couple more questions.

        With the above question. If i’m using ftp and I just have %username% in the upload path setting, it will then create the folder in the root folder on the ftp server. But if I want uploads in a uploads folder I would then have to type this in the upload path field: root/uploads/%username%. Is that correct?

        My client is using a ftp server with the address of ftp://remote.zfake.com So my understanding from the documentation in order to point the uploads to the right place and give access in the settings I would put w:e@ftp//:remote.zfake.com Is that correct?

        Also I just got the update. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but is there documentation on how to update? When I upload the new update and try to install in it, it won’t install because obviously the folder already exists. But I don’t want to delete the old one and loose all my settings.

        1. Hi, you put in the Upload Path the following: /uploads/%username%

          FTP Credentials should be like this: w:e@remote.zfake.com

          Regarding the update, this can be done automatically from Plugins area. Do you mean something else?

          Regards

          Nickolas

          1. I know what you mean by it being in the Plugin area. But in my Plugin area under WordPress File Upload Pro it just looks normal. There is no automatic update notice. I’m running 3.11.0. The only reason I knew there was an update was from the WordPress File Upload Pro dashboard screen.

          2. Ok you are running an old version, which at that time did not support auto-update. So here are the steps to update:

            1. Deactivate and then delete the current version.
            2. Log in to https://www.iptanus.com with your account, go to your order and download the latest version (4.3.1) from there.
            3. Install the new version from the file and activate it.

            Please note that your settings will not be lost.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I’m having a serious problem with the plugin when it comes to ftp. When I use it in normal mode it creates a folder in the upload folder with the username folder name, its great. But when I switch to ftp mode and try to upload a file with the upload path for example FTP Files/Fake Company/%username%, on the frontend of the site it says “Upload failed!
    Targer folder doesn’t exist.” So I don’t know if it’s not creating folder or what? It created them when it was running through WordPress. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

        1. Hi Nickolas,

          Do you have any thoughts on this? I could really use help to get this working the same way it does when I run it through the site itself. Could it be something in the general setting of the plugin? Because I just left them default.

          1. Hi, are you referring to the update of the plugin? I answered about it in my previous comment.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I’m using 2 pages to upload files, namely an image file and a pdf file.
    In addition I’m using a third page where an user can fill in some extra information in form fields.

    After the third page is submitted I want to store the filenames + locations, along with the (secured) form values into the database.
    I haven’t got a clue how to determine which files the user uploaded though, is there any coding I can use?

    I’m using the free version at the moment, and my shortcodes are:

    [wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg,*.png,*.jpeg” maxsize=”2″ createpath=”true” redirect=”true” redirectlink=”http://localhost:82/wordpress/upload2/” ]

    I would purchase it only if i can use it on both my sites

    thanx

    1. Hi, yes this can be done, the plugin supports notifications by email, where you can also attach the uploaded file, as long as it is small enough to fit inside the email (roughly less than 20MB)

    I am using your plugin and it is working well. However, I do not see a success message after a successful upload. Once the file is uploaded, all fields are erased but there is no message. Do you know what could be going wrong or if there is a setting I might have missed?
    Thank you!

  • When viewing an Uploaded File List page on mobile, the tables are non-responsive – that is, the columns go over the edge of the page boundaries and force a much wider width than the size of a phone screen (see screenshot for example: https://i.imgur.com/g1bB2sb.png).

    I’m not seeing an option for a Responsive layout setting like there is for the Uploader. Any idea how to fix this?

    1. Hi, there is a Plugin Fit Mode attribute in the shortcode. If you set it to “responsive” then it will become more responsive. Have you tried that?

  • Hi. Is there a recommended way to bulk download customer uploaded images from the WordPress File Upload Control Panel? The plugin works great but downloading client files one at a time is too cumbersome. I am open to all options. Skill level: Beginner. Thank you.

    1. Hi, unfortunately no there is no such option. The best way would be to connect with an FTP client and bulk download the files from there.

      Regards

  • Hello,

    Is there a way to limit the total files size upload? Not each file size, but the total? So for example a user can not upload more than 20mb combined files.

    Thanks!

    1. Hi, yes it can be done with a hook. Do you have the free or pro version (instructions change)?

      regards

  • Purchased Pro Version. Getting the following error when trying to install plugin:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 2555

    Please advise.

      1. Web server is running PHP 5.6.30

        After activating plugin, I get the following error that brings down the entire site. The only way for me to get the site back is to rename the “wordpress-file-upload-pro” directory. The plugin is not working.

        Please advise.

        “Internal Server Error

        The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

        Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

        More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”

        Server log says:

        PHP Warning: session_start(): open(/var/php_sessions/sess_53460c488785d8e8060504eec090b942, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /***/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 2

        PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files).

        1. For reasons outside of this conversation, I can’t upgrade atm to PHP 7, need to stay at PHP 5.6.30. I *temporarily* went to PHP 7, activated the plugin and it activated this time, and *seems* to work now that I set PHP back to 5.6.30. The only error I’m now getting is in the WP control panel it is saying “Iptanus Services Server is unreachable. This may cause problems in some plugin functions. Please contact info@iptanus.com for details.” Is this a big issue?

  • Hello, it is said that if you check the certain checkbox – uploaded files should be added to Media Library. It does not work for me. I have added the metadata line in the code, so I can see the files, but I cannot see the additional user data!
    Can you help me?
    Thank you!

    1. Sorry, I am sleeping already.. 😀
      I mean checking the checkbox should make the additional user data seen alongside the uploaded file in the Media Library.. I don’t see the data there.
      Can you help me with that issue?
      Thank you!

    1. Hi, open the visual editor of the shortcode, go to General tab, locate atributes Filter By Role and Filter By User and check “Include Guests”.

  • It seems that version 4.3.3 has broken something with the custom file types upload setting. I see it was released two days ago. I have custom file types set to *.*, *.stl.

    Error message says “File not allowed.”

    Test uploads of other file types return no errors.

  • Wie kann ich Einstellen, dass auch Gäste eine Datei hochochladen können (nicht Pro) ? Oder muss ich für diese Einstellung die Pro Version kaufen?

    1. How can I set that also guests can upload a file (not Pro)? Or do I have to buy the pro version for this setting?

  • I want to be able to upload files in the frontend. Unfortunately, this only works if I am logged in as an administrator. For all guests comes an error message “Unknown error”. Where does this come from?

    1. I suspect that this is related to session variables. Can I try to upload myself? what is the URL of the page?

      Nickolas

  • Hello
    I am wondering how to use the function with upload file list in dashboard for logged users.
    Do you have any instruction for it.
    Could you send it by email?
    Thank you

  • Hi,

    I bought your plugin and a lot of options and so far happy with it,

    However it is not possible to direct select the files for upload. The first time when my internal customer or myself select them via the windows file browser on the local computer they not appear in the input field for uploading them. After a F5 refresh I do the same and then it works.

  • Hi Nickolas, I was able to upload as admin, but not able to have a guest upload (even with the selection made). I tried (older version)Safari, Firefox, and Android phone. When I checked “Don’t change filename”, it seemed to fix the problem on all except Android phone.

    I also would love to fix the spacing to fit the theme of my page…you can see below I’ve done what I can with my limited CSS knowledge. Still not perfectly lined up, though. Any suggestions?

    Also, where can I find the error logs?

    Thanks so much

    http://www.lastdropmastering.com/free-mastering/

    1. Hi, what is the shortcode you use?

      Regarding the css, I see you have already put some. How do you want it to be? Here is a suggestion:

      label#userdata_1_label_0 { margin-bottom: 0; }

      Nickolas

      1. Thanks for such good support. I am the one who emailed, by the way. I’ll just communicate here instead.

        The shortcode eventually stopped working even with “Don’t change file name” selected. I notice when I change various other settings, it may upload correctly either on Safari or Firefox, but rarely on both together. Then it might stop working again.

        I also cannot get the background color of the failed message to change, so I had to use some CSS.

        BTW, I was not able to get the code you listed to make any changes to the design at all. I plugged it in the same way I did my other custom CSS. I tried different numbers instead of “margin-bottom: 0″, but nothing changed.

        Here is my shortcode(minus my actual email address), thanks again Nickolas!

        [wordpress_file_upload uploadpatterns=”*.mp3*, *.WAV*, *.AIFF*, *.WMA*, *.ZIP*,” maxsize=”10000000″ forcefilename=”true” placements=”selectbutton+filename/userdata/userdata/uploadbutton/progressbar/message” requiredlabel=”*” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”myemail@gmail.com” notifysubject=”Demo Song” notifymessage=”%userdata1%%n%%userdata2%%n%%pagetitle%” successmessagecolors=”#f9f9f9,#212121,#424242″ warningmessagecolors=”#e8e8e8,#3f3f3f,#303030″ failmessagecolors=”#821500,#3a3a3a,#adadad” widths=”filename:110%, userdata_value:67%” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”YOUR EMAIL|t:multitext|s:left|r:1|p:inline” userdatalabel2=”COMMENTS:|t:multitext|s:left|r:0|p:inline”]

        1. Form is still not working.

          I should clarify, I’m using current version of Waterfox, not Firefox (they are super similar, though?)

          My version of Safari is quite outdated. I guess I shouldn’t worry about that one not working.

          I also started over with a super simple upload form on a different page for testing. Not working either. If I just switch “Do not change file name”, the upload will start working on Waterfox for a few hours, then stops working. I have to turn the setting back off and save to get it to work again for another few hours.

          If I keep repeating this process, the form works, but it’s not exactly convenient.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Considering buying your PRO version but I need a few answers first, if you may:
    1. Is it possible that when uploading files, the path looks something like this:
    %user%/datetime-of-upload-/%filename%?
    What I tried on the free version was to create a custom field when notifying over email of type Note: DateTime, but the users needs to select date and time manually, otherwise it doesn’t work.
    2. The option of viewing the files that have been uploaded. Is this like a front-end file manager on the site? I need users to be able to see ALL their uploads in time and VERY important, to see ONLY their own files and not others.
    Note: If not, would you be able to create this feature?

    Many thanks,

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1. You can add a plugin hook that changes the filename to what you want. I can help you on this.
      2. The Pro version provides file viewers for users in the back-end and also in the front-end (pages or posts). By default they show the files only of the current user, so this feature is already provided.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Thank you for your reply, Nickolas. I went ahead and purchased your plugin, I really really like it.
        About my number one point, I want to be able to save all user uploaded files into a structure like this:
        %user%/DATETIMEFOLDER/%filename%
        DATETIMEFOLDER: this should be created each time a new Upload process takes place and the folder name to the exact Date & Time.

        And second, front-end file manager. It really is great, so thanks for that. Btw, I am trying to setup the thumbnail to be less than 100 cause it’s too big, but no matter what I type (20, 50) it’s still the same size. Do I need on the backend a different JPEG for the thumbnails which is less than 100×100?

  • great plugin! thanks!!!

    i have 2 questions:

    1) can i change the file name to a specific div’s value?

    2) I’m trying to upload a file with no extention (unity assetbundle) – but i keep getting file not allowed even though * is set in allowed file types (which is supposed to allow all types).

    again, thank u!

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1. yes it can be done with some plugin tweaks.
      2. How is Allowed File Extensions? *.* or * ? The first one will not allow files without extension.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. hi nickolas

        thanks for your reply.

        you mentioned “tweaks” – if i buy pro can i do it without tweaking?

        1. Hi, no this is very special and some custom coding will be required, however I can help you on this.

          Nickolas

  • Hello, have addition field in use “name” entry and required checked. the formatting is not working correctly on responsive site on phones. The “)” is spilling into the box. Tried making font smaller didn’t help. is there short code to force the (required) not to spill into box? thank you.

    1. Hi, you can try playing with the dimensions tab in visual editor to adjust the widths of elements. Have you tried that?

      regards

      Nickolas

    2. I had to omit the (Required) and left it blank. It looked fine on desktop, but on smaller iphones would not format correctly. Is that in the plugin responsive theme or solved in dimensions? Label is set to left. don’t see any format option for the (required) label. Thank you for your response. JL

      1. You can rename “Required” to something shorter, e.g. to an asterisk (*). This is in Labels tab.

        In general the plugin appearance is much affected by the theme. So it may not look good in all cases, even though it supports responsiveness. I can help you customize it using css, if you tell me what do you want to do.

        Regards

        Nickolas

  • hello again

    i am loading your plugin in a custom php page (no call for header and footer) – i added manualy calls for scripts and styles but the upload does not look styled…

    is there a specific file i forgot?

    these are the style files that i load:

    ‘wordpress-file-upload-style-css’
    ‘wordpress-file-upload-style-safe-css’

    thank you!

    1. Hi, the Allowed File Extensions option in the shortcode allows to define the list of allowed extensions. For instance, if you want to allow only png and jpg files it should be: *.png, *.jpg

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi there,

    I am using your plugin a website, 2 days ago everything was fine, and now the upload doesn’t work anymore, the error isn’t explicit enough to help understand where the problem is.

    Here’s the shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload createpath=”true” debugmode=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/userdata/message” uploadbutton=”Start upload”]

    You can get back to me directly through my company e-mail.

    Thank you for your time

  • Hi,
    In the menu of my website I use a number of child pages and each one is password protected. When a user enters with his individual password he can upload files. NOW: how can I tell from which page a file has been uploaded? In WP File Upload it just tells me it was a guest…. That’s not specific enough….

    Regards
    Peter

    1. Hi, one way to find the page is to go to View Log and click on the file. It will open the page of file details. In there you will see the page from where the file was uploaded.

      One other way is to have different upload folders for each page, e.g. uploadpath=”/uploads/%pageid%”

      If you have the Pro version, you can add a front-end file viewer in a page, only visible to you (admin) and add a Page column to show the page.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, after upgrading to the pro version, the upload function works fine but I am facing this errors:

    1. In my dashboard > WordPress file upload control panel, there is this string of text at the top

    1ScompŠ.wfu_dropboxmoDDdutc×#ï»wfu_dropboxmodDdutc×#ï»wfu_dropboxph1ScompÐ @€ @€ @€ @EDSDB `€ @€ @€ @

    2. In my test page there is another string of code at the top:
    Bud1dropbowfu_dropboxlg1Scomp�.wfu_dropboxmoDDdutc�#�wfu_dropboxmodDdutc�#�wfu_dropboxph1Scomp� @� @� @� @EDSDB `� @� @� @

    This is the link.
    http://colinwan.com/csfileupload/

    Can you advise on how to fix it? The the free version doesn’t have those strings of codes.

    1. Hi, really very strange error! Can you please download the plugin files, zip them and send them to me? You will find the in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro folder.

      Nickolas

    1. Every element of the plugin has its own class, so they can be styled with css easily. If you have the Pro version, you can put the css rules straight inside the shortcode in Custom CSS tab. If you have the free version, you can put it in the Custom CSS area of the theme.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • also, what is the best way to mass delete a load of files no longer required, I want to remove all files from last year and before, just leave current years files in the browser lists.

    1. Maybe the best way to do it is through FTP or the File Manager of your domain control panel?

      Nickolas

      1. Yes, I can upload via FTP and then include the file, and even change the owner, this is all good. However, when a user uploads a file it will get sent to dropbox fine, into folder “UPLOADS/%username%” using their username in place of “%username%”. However, if I manually add a file , include it, and assign it to user, then I need to click on “Send to DropBox”, and this doesnt send it to the correct dropbox folder. Instead it sends it to the “Dropbox Default Path” as set in main settings, and this field doesnt seem to work with %username%.

        Is there a way we can use %username% in the default dropbox path?

  • Hi There,

    I am having trouble receiving my e-mails.
    I have indicated that I want to receive the file in my verification mail, but I do not receive any email at all.

    What could be the cause of this

    This my shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload singlebutton=”true” uploadpath=”CV Uploaden” maxsize=”51″ uploadtitle=”Je kunt hier je CV UPLOADEN” selectbutton=”Selecteer” uploadbutton=”CV Uploaden” subfolderlabel=”” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%info@zazoutotaal.nl%” notifyheaders=”Test” notifymessage=”Geachte ontvanger,%n%%n%Dit is een geautomatiseerd bericht om je te laten weten dat er een nieuw bestand is geüpload.%n%n%nMet vriendelijke groet” attachfile=”true” widths=”plugin:1000, selectbutton:500″]

    Kind regards
    Silvio V

    1. Hi, please remove % symbols from notifyrecipients and also empty notifyheaders. In addition set dimensions like this 1000px instead of 1000

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I’m trying to use the wfu_after_upload filter to write the name of file uploaded to a database table.
    The filter handler executes no problem but I cannot figure out where the filename is stored in the $additional_data. The documentation says file_path but this is blank when I use it. What should I be coding?

    1. Hi, there is files attribute stored in $additional_data that keeps info of all uploaded files (because it may be more than one). This is an array. Each item has a filepath property for the file path. Here is an example:

      $files = $additional_data["files"];
      foreach ( $files as $file ) {
      $filepath = $file["filepath"];
      //to do code here
      }

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I just purchased the pro version of WordPress File Uploader and it’s taking me a while to get some of the configuration right. Mostly my lack of understanding identifying elements to apply CSS to, which just means I need to spend more time learning CSS.

    As I was working on my site I discovered that it was not as secure as I would like, so I started making some changes to secure it better. One of the recommendations was to upgrade to PHP 7.1, however, when I check my site for compatibility with PHP 7.1 I discovered a few errors and warnings in my theme and a few plugins.

    WordPress File Uploader shows the following errors and warnings in several places:

    FILE: /plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_frontend_browser.php

    I can upload the full list if necessary.

    Is this something I can attempt to fix on my own by editing the plugin? Or can you fix them and update the plugin.

    Thanks and have a great day.

  • Hi,
    I have troubles with the filetype “.apk” (Android package). I just try the free version to see if everything works as expected before I got for the pro version.
    But whatever I do, the plugin complains the the file is not allowed. I opened WordPress to allow all file types (I can upload the 40mb .apk file into the media library).
    I there a chance to trace what File Upload does ?

    BTW: I can upload the file when I change the extension from apk to pdf (just to test that filesize or filename is ok). I can upload exotic files like .ipa with file upload

    ……….Here the config……………..
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/download-manager-files” fitmode=”responsive” uploadpatterns=”*.ipa, *.zip, *.png, *.plist, *.html, *.apk, *.pdf” maxsize=”500″ adminmessages=”true” forceclassic=”true” debugmode=”true”]

    Many thanks for your help

  • Hello, how big files can be uploaded in Pro version? Is there any limitation? If I want to upload a file that is 100MB big, is that all right?

    1. Hi, yes the Pro version has no limitation, users have reported uploads of many GBs.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I have the Pro version of the plugin, and I have the following form configured (redacted content in ) :

    [wordpress_file_upload maxsize=”500″ placements=”title/userdata/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/subfolders/message” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”” widths=”userdata_label:55%” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Your Name|t:text|s:left|r:1|a:1|p:none|d:”]

    But the “Your Name” field pre-populates with “https://www..com/upload/”, so that people can submit the form without actually providing their name.

    Can this be fixed? Thank you.

    1. (The content I redacted in brackets in the post above was deleted. There is actually a valid email address for the notifiyrecipients.)

    2. Hi, I do not quite understand the problem. Can I see the page myself? what is the URL?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • We’re still not able to see the shortcode output properly. We’ve been hoping to switch back to WFU Pro, but I haven’t seen our issues addressed as yet.
    Thank you! Jim

  • Dear support
    Multiple files that were uploaded today seem to stuck. TEy are not showing up on my dropbyfolder. Also the list pending file transfer seems to stuck. I hit the “Reset all file transfer” button severel times but no changes.
    Can you help here?
    Thanks a lot

    1. Also, when I try to reset Dropbox activation, I get a 403: “Access to this resource on the server is denied!”

        1. Hi Nickolas

          Yes, it was working perfectly! Now, the files get uploaded to /uploads but not a single one is coming through to dropbox.
          Im using PHP 7.0
          Solved the 403 error (I had to deactivate modsecurity). But still struggling with dropbox.

          1. Is it activated in Settings?

            Do you see any errors if you open Main tab in Dashboard?

            Nickolas

  • Yes, its activated in settings. I dont see any errors in mainboard.
    Meanwhile I updated to the latest version reset all transfers and made a new setup for Dropbox. No changes.

      1. Hi Nickolas
        Im still strungling with the dropbox connection. Files are pending for ever. I set up the shortcode, cleared the file transfer several times. Nothing changed.
        Im used the latest wordpress version, php 7.2 (I also set it down but it wont help). I also turned off mod security.

        Is there anything else I can try? It worked just perfect.

        Thanks a lot!

  • Hi

    How can I allow different filetypes? Now I get a “file not allowed” message. I rember there is a “white list”?
    Thanks

  • Hello,
    i’m having problem with email notification. If i set a fixed email (name.surname@host.ing) i get the notification. If i set the %useremail% variables the notification doesn’t work. What i can do?

        1. Try only %useremail% in recipients. Does it work? Check Spam if they went there. You can also install and configure an SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP and try again.

          Nickolas

          1. Ok with wp mail smtp seem to work the notification to %useremail%.
            Can i add also other email addresses? must be comma separated or one for row?

  • Hi
    Thank you for this great plugin.
    I have a problem with uploading several types of file (e.g., zip files – I get “file not allowed” notification). How can I fix this to include the file types I need my users to upload?
    Thanks,
    Eyal

    1. Hi, in order to allow zip files you need to set Allowed File Extensions in the shortcode like this: *.*, *.zip

      Here is a relevant article.

  • Hello;

    We have the File Upload Pro. As a part of our order process, we allow our customers to upload 1 or more files. Once the order is in Processing, we use Booster.io to create and use a PDF of that WooCommerce order in our printing process. We would like to include a list of the files that were uploaded for the order in that PDF.

    I’ve tried using the shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload_browser candownload=”true” candelete=”true” columns=”inc:/#,file:s/File,date:n/Upload Date,size:n/Size,user:s/User,thumbnail:/Thumbnail,fields:/User Fields”]

    I’ve also tried to use the bare bones version:
    [wordpress_file_upload_browser]

    Neither is working for me. I get a list of the uploaded files. But I also get lines and lines of “other stuff”.

    Any thoughts as to what we can do to get the list of the uploaded files on our PDF?

    1. Hi, first of all, how are the uploaded files linked to the order? have you made any integration with Woocommerce (or any other e-commerce plugin you use)?

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hello Nickolas;

        It is integrated with WooCommerce and Storefront. I can see the files on Admin/Orders. Each customer can also see and modify the files that they have uploaded in My Account if they log in.

        Thanks

        Bill

          1. Hello Nickolas;

            We are using the WooCommerce Multi-Step Checkout from ThemeHigh. Step 1 is to gather the Billing info, Step 2 is to gather Shipping info if needed, Step 3 is what we call the Imprint area. We provide custom printed, multi-part forms. We frequently need additional details from our customers before we can print the forms. One of the most important details is that we need to provide a way that our customers can upload a file with their logo.

            If you want to place an order to go through the process, you are welcome to. We do not require an online payment. Besides, you can always go through the process and get to the Imprint area and simply not complete the payment.

            We added 2 functions to the functions.php file in /wp-content/themes/storefront.

            // define the woocommerce_checkout_before_terms_and_conditions callback
            function action_woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_order_details( $order ) {
            // make action magic happen here…
            $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
            $scanned_directory = array_diff(scandir($upload_dir[‘basedir’].’/users/’.$order->get_user_id()), array(‘..’, ‘.’));
            echo “Imprint Uploaded By User”;
            foreach($scanned_directory as $pic){
            echo ‘get_user_id().’/’.$pic.'” target=”_blank”>’.$pic.’‘;
            }

            };

            // add the action
            add_action( ‘woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_order_details’, ‘action_woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_order_details’, 10, 1 );

            Is there a way for me to contact you that is not public? I can provide a user account with login information if that will help.

            Thank you for your assistance.

            Bill

  • Hello

    I get the following error when I have pro plugin activated and try to press save on user profile page.

    Notice: Undefined index: consent_status in …/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 3488

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_functions.php:3488) in …/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1219

    Any idea what is up?
    Andrew

    1. Hi, I answered to your email attaching code to correct this warning, although it should not cause problems when saving the profile.

      The bug will be corrected in the next release.

      Regards

  • Great plugin! I’d like to humbly request for you to add date and time variables. I’m setting up pages where my customers can upload files for projects. These customers may upload multiple projects, sometimes even multiple times in a day, but I would like to keep each upload session in its own subfolder. So, the ability to name the folder %userdata1%/%datetime% would be great.

    1. Hi, the files are by default saved to /wp-content/uploads folder of your website. You can find them by using the File Browser tab in plugin’s area in Dashboard. You can also check the View Log to see where the files were saved.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Does this plug-in allow you to send the uploaded files to a Sharepoint site? Will I need to PRO version for that or can I do it with the FREE version. Thanks!

    1. Hi, how can the Sharepoint site receive files? It can probably be done with the Free version as well.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,
    We have the WP file upload PRO version. Since the latest WP upgrade (version 4.9.8), the extention doesn’t work anymore. When trying to upload a file, customers have a server timeout error.
    The folder is created on the server, but the file (even a 4ko file) is not uploaded.
    Can you help ?
    Many thanks.

  • Hi, and congratulations for this great (free) plugin !

    Before I buy the PRO version, I would like to see screenshots or examples of file list shortcode on front-end, but can’t seem to find anything online.

    Another question :
    I have set an upload form (with a specific path), and I would like to send upload notification email to all users of a specific user role (and use a file list shortcode to allow them to see all the uploaded documents in the given folder).
    Is it possible and how ? (without manually filling the email recipients field with all emails)

    Thx in advance,
    Yan.

    1. Hi, here are some articles showing and explaining the plugin’s file viewers:

      https://www.iptanus.com/file-viewer-of-wordpress-file-upload-plugin/
      https://www.iptanus.com/version-4-3-0-of-wordpress-file-upload-plugin/
      https://www.iptanus.com/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-file-upload/-viewer-search-filter/

      In order to send the notification email to users of a specific role, a custom implementation using the plugin’s filters is required. I can help you with this.

      You can also configure the file viewer to display the files only of a specific folder.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Wow thank you, didn’t even think of searching the articles for that, sorry !
        Awesome, the thumbnail grid view is exactly what I was looking for 🙂

        Regarding the notifications, I guess I can use the wfu_before_email_notification filter to update recipients list (or even message,etc.) with PHP ?

        I think this plugin is one of the best value ever ! So many shortcode options and the hooks are so perfect for developers 😉

        1. OK, so I managed to change the notifications recipients with the appropriate hook for a specific user role, and I managed to display the files in a specific folder with the extension filter (*/PATH/*.*).

          But I can’t find out how to dynamically change the upload path for a specific user, with a file upload form on his profile page :
          When I’m on a profile page with url https……//, I would like upload directory to be uploads/…/, where can be any user name.
          But I can’t use %username% because is not the currently logged in user but any other user (they all have a profile page with the upload form).

          I hope it makes sense… Is there a hook I can use ? Or any other way ?
          Like a %last-slug-of($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’])% variable 😉

          Thx !!!

          1. If you want to change the upload path you can use wfu_before_file_upload filter. Have you tried that?

            Nickolas

        2. OK, so I managed to change the notifications recipients with the appropriate hook for a specific user role, and I managed to display the files in a specific folder with the extension filter (*/PATH/*.*).

          But I can’t find out how to dynamically change the upload path for a specific user, with a file upload form on his profile page :
          When I’m on a profile page with url https……/USER/, I would like upload directory to be uploads/…/USER, where USER can be any user name.
          But I can’t use %username% because it is not the currently logged in user but any other user (they all have a profile page with the upload form).

          I hope it makes sense… Is there a hook I can use ? Or any other way ?
          Like a %last-slug-of($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’])% variable

          Thx !!!

          1. Hi !!!
            Sorry for asking so many questions so quickly, should have dug a little more before, cause I found out everything 🙂

            I used wfu_before_file_check_handler hook to substitute the keyword with username in full upload path.

            I also found the not documented (but so usefull) hook _wfu_filtered_recs_queries, that allowed me to substitute keywords as well to dynamically change the file viewer folder according to url or logged in user.

            Thanks again for this amazing plugin !
            Yan

        3. Hi, yes wfu_before_email_notification is for this purpose. When you add a new hook from Hooks tab in Dashboard and select this filter from Hook Templates, it will show you instructions how to use it. There is also this article describing all plugin’s published filters.

          Regards

          Nickolas

          1. Yes I tried wfu_before_file_upload (and other filters as well).

            If I add a subfolder before $file_path, the upload won’t work, with unkown error message.
            If I change $file_path, the filename is correctly changed, but I want to change the destination folder.

            I can’t find the full destination path in any hook.

          2. $file_path is the absolute path to the file, so in contains the full path. I can help you configure it, just tell me how is the shortcode configured right now and how do you want the folder to become. Please reply by email to info@iptanus.com

            Nickolas

          3. I actually need to modify “Filter by extension” as well, because I want to display the folder associated to the logged in user, like for instance : */ANY_PATH/%username%/*.*

            Is it possible, and with which hook please ?

            The real deal here is that I may not use your plugin in the right way 😉
            Because I want to upload or view files in specific internal folders, and not pages/posts/users/role.
            Admins upload files TO people (students, actually) ; people don’t upload their own files on their own page or post.

  • I am trying to change the default upload path using the “base directory” option in the settings; adding either a full path, or a relative path (to wp-content) has no effect – the files still get uploaded to the wp-content/uploads directory which isn’t desired.

    I am using free version 4.6.2 with wordpress 4.9.8.

    Thanks!

    Chris

    1. Hi, have you enabled option “Add Uploaded Files to Media”? If yes, then files will be uploaded to the default WordPress upload folder, otherwise they don’t work.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, how is the shortcode configured? when do you get this error? when you upload large files?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi there,
    I’ve problems with the file viewer at all:
    many things don’t work as they should:
    – there is no table shown in the front end, as you presented it on your demo!
    – Also the files with ending: .docx and .xlsx are not shown (although all formats are allowed with extensions: *.*),
    – neither the uploaded files from other users (setting is all, guests)
    – and so on and on

    Are there special problems with the theme avada?
    (we bought the pro version and I’m very upset about the results…)
    regards
    marianne

  • Hi there,

    we have many problems with the File Viewer, although I followed your instructions strictly.
    here is my generated shortcode of the Upload Browser:
    [wordpress_file_upload_browser reloadonupdate=”true” browserrole=”all,guests” browseruser=”all,guests” candownload=”true” candelete=”true” whodelete=”all” columns=”inc:/#,file:s/Datei,thumbnail:/Vorschau,date:/Datum,user:/Benutzer” rolefilter=”all” userfilter=”all” downloadtitle=”Diese Datei herunterladen” deletetitle=”Diese Datei löschen” sorttitle=”Sortieren Sie diese Liste auf der Grundlage dieser Spalte”]
    The problems are:
    – there is no table with my uploaded pictures and docs shown, only one picture (which additional I did not uploaded recently)
    – the formats .docx and .xlsx are not shown

    And also some characters of the PlugIn did not work, f.e. the consent, subfolders are not shown etc.
    Here is my generated shortcode composer for the Uploader:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/dateien” captchatype=”RecaptchaV2 (no account)” uploadrole=”all” uploaduser=”all” createpath=”true” forcefilename=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”&{root}/{root}” duplicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” redirectlink=”/dateien” placements=”title/filename/selectbutton+uploadbutton/consent/message” selectbutton=”Wählen Sie eine Datei/Dateien Auswählen” targetfolderlabel=”Upload Ordner” subfolderlabel=”Wählen Sie einen Unterordner” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”m.wunnenberg@hydrometeo.de” notifyheaders=”neue Nachricht von http://www.projekt- i-quadrat” attachfile=”true” askconsent=”true” personaldatatypes=”userdata and files” consentpreselect=”true” consentquestion=”Beim Hochladen von Dateien stimme ich zu, dass meine Daten gespeichert werden.” widths=”consent:250″ heights=”plugin:200, uploadbutton:40, consent:30″ gallery=”true”]

    I already spent a lot of time for the adaption of it, could the problem be, that the Plugin is not compatible with the theme avada???
    For the reason, that the page “Dateien” is only for registered users, please give me a PM leting me send you the username and PW.

    Thanks for helping me out,

    regards

  • Hi,

    In the file browser shortcode, the filter by extension doesn’t seem to work with multiple extensions.

    “*.PDF” shows all PDF files : OK
    “*.docx” shows all docx files : OK

    “*.PDF,*.docx” shows NOTHING
    “*.PDF, *.docx” shows NOTHING (space between)

    Is the syntax OK or have I missed something ?

    Thx !

    1. The file browser extensions filter works in a different way. Make it like this to allow both extensions:

      regex:\\.(pdf|docx)$

      Nickolas

  • Hi,

    Is there a way to access an additional field (userdata) if there was no file uploaded (Allow No File is On)? It appears the wfu_ actions that would contain the uploaded userdata only trigger if there was an actual file uploaded? Basically I want to access the additional text field after the form is submitted (via ajax) regardless of if there was a file uploaded or not, I can see the userdata in the wfu_after_upload_handler hook but that doesn’t appear to fire if there was no file uploaded. I can access the field value on the client side before the form is posted (uisng JS) but I’d prefer to access it after the ajax request is complete using PHP.

    Thanks

    1. Hi, when no file is uploaded but only data, then filter wfu_after_data_submit fires instead of wfu_after_upload. You need to implement it.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Not able to edit the button. Please help!

    file_input_button{
    background-image: none;
    background-color:black;
    color:white;
    border-radius: 4px;
    }

    1. Try this selectors (both): input[type=’button’].file_input_button, input[type=’button’].file_input_button_hover

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Iìve bought the PRO plugin but I’m not able to create the File List.

    “Uploaded File List Instances
    Press here to get started and add the file list in a page”

    When I press “here” button nothing happen. The instance is not creted.

    1. Hi, there is probably an incompatibility with the theme. You can add the file viewer manually by adding the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload_browser] straight inside the page contents using the page editor.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. It works, i’d like to open and share on social nettworks the last uploaded image. Should I edit the php by Hooks ? Could you help me?

          1. Sure. Each user has the possibility to upload photos in his private area. When the user clicks the upload button, he should have the possibility to view the image (like a modal window) uploaded and share it immediately on his social network (e.g Facebook).

            Then the user can return into his private area and visualize the shared photo between the thumbnails or table list. (this is not hard to do)

            Thanks

          2. The plugin provides filters to execute custom PHP code on server side, or Javascript code on client-side (on the user’s browser) after the upload. Would that be suitable for your case?

            Nickolas

          3. “The plugin provides filters to execute custom PHP code on server side, or Javascript code on client-side (on the user’s browser) after the upload. Would that be suitable for your case?

            Nickolas”

            ———–

            I’m looking for user friendly interface, easy to use but…yes, it could be ok.

          4. If you have the Pro version, go to Hooks tab in plugin’s Dashboard area and add a new hook. Add “After Upload Filter” from Templates. The template includes instructions how to use the filter. With this filter you can implement PHP or Javascript code, that runs right after all files have been uploaded.

            If you have the Free version, then instructions about wfu_after_upload filter are included in this article. You just need to implement the filter and add it at the end of your theme’s functions.php file.

            Nickolas

  • Hi,

    I would know if is it possible and in which manner, make an encryption before upload a file.

    I have already a javascript library that perform the encryption, but i don’t know how to make a possible merge with your plug in
    Thanks

  • Hello, I would like my user to look at the files they’ve downloaded on the page and organize them in directories. Doe the pro version of this plugin can solve those issues? Appreciate your reply.

    Thanks

    1. Hi, the Pro version allows multiple files at once. It also provides a file viewer from where the user can see his/her own files. However the file viewer displays the files in a tabular format, not in a tree format (directories).

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello

    I would like features such as, to upload multiple files at once, and most importantly the user should see their files on a page
    and organize files in directories. Does the pro version include these ? Appreciate your reply.

    Thanks

    1. Hi, perhaps you have configure it not to be visible to guests, so you do not see it in browsers you are not logged in?

      Regards

      Nickolas

    Apрreciate it!

  • Hi Nickolas

    I have the latest Pro version of the plugin and I set up the file transfer to Google Drive a couple of weeks ago and it was working just fine.
    Today I noticed that the file transfers to the google drive had stopped, in the File Transfer tab I could see a list of pending transfers and files that were ‘being transferred’ – but after hours, the transfers hadn’t occurred. I tried resetting the transfers in the maintenance tab and manually telling the files to transfer from the File Browser. The issue still persisted.
    I then reset the Google Drive Uploads on the settings page, to deactivate it, thinking that I would then try reactivating the function. However, the ‘Press Here’ button to activate the uploads to Google Drive is no longer responsive.
    I’ve tried deactivating and then reactivating the plug-in, however the problem persists.
    Do you have any ideas? I’d really love to be able to set-up the Google Drive uploads again.

    Regards

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        Thanks for the repsonse.

        I didn’t change the theme, PHP or add any new plugins. I would have only updated a few plug-ins with new versions. Do you think I need to go through a trial and error process with the installed plug-ins to see if there is a conflict with any of them?

        Regards

        1. If you can then it would be a good idea. Do you have access to the error log of your web server? If yes, do you see any errors there?

          Nickolas

  • Hi, Nickolas. I am test driving your plugin before buying the pro version. The page is https://dupuytrens.org/share-your-story/
    It uploads files without a hitch.
    There are two things which don’t work: the consent checkbox and wording doesn’t display; I receive no notification email.
    here’s the shortcode. I’ve replaced my email with a dummy email address to show the formatting:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”useruploads/%userdata1%” fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”100″ createpath=”true” forcefilename=”true” subfoldertree=”auto” duplicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” placements=”userdata/consent/selectbutton/filename/uploadbutton/progressbar/message” uploadtitle=”Upload Images and Videos” selectbutton=”3. Click me to select video or image file to upload” uploadbutton=”4. Click me to upload the selected media file” requiredlabel=”” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”xxx@xxx.xxx” notifysubject=”Media File Upload Notification” notifymessage=”A new file has been uploaded:%n%%userdata1%” askconsent=”true” personaldatatypes=”userdata and files” consentquestion=”I agree to let the Dupuytren Research Group keep my personal data.

        1. Check if it went to Spam. If not, you can try to install and configure an SMTP plugin, like WP Easy SMTP.

          Regards

  • Yes, I have. Here are the settings:

    The checkbox did appear earlier in my testing, but I’ve spent a couple of hours since trying to tweak the settings; wouldn’t display properly until I set the plugin css to inherit the site’s style.

    Any other thoughts? Thanks!

  • Hi, Since this morning, my WP File transfer pro does not send file to dropbox or google drive, I tested the two services DB and GD. Transfer to dropbox worked since more than a year now. Yesterday and early this morning all worked well. I relinked dropbox and google drive, but files already stay in “Files transfer”. The transfer web page indicated success, I received email notification of success, but no transfer. Do you have a hint?

    1. Go to Maintenance tab and press “Reset Dropbox Uploads” and “Reset Google Drive Uploads”. Any change?

      Nickolas

      1. I did it : google drive uploads were successfully reset. and Dropbox uploads were successfully reset.
        Also I deleted all pending file transfers.
        I upload again files and it stays in the File transfers tab and are not transfered to GD and Dropbox folders. But files are uploaded to the uploads folder.

        Also I note that if I set a variable path to upload like : uploads/%pagetitle%
        I get this error message :
        La transmission de photo-02.jpg a échouée (sending photo-02.jpg failed)
        Envoi impossible ! (Sending impossible)
        Target folder doesn’t exist.
        The message is the same if I add a slash (/) to the end of the path

        Thank you for your support

  • Hi,

    Are there any known issues with downloading files when using iOS? Have tried iPad and two iPhones, and when clicking on ‘Download’ nothing seems to happen.

    Regards

    Craig

      1. Yes iOS does not allow direct downloads, I am working on an improved version of the plugin that will provide a workaround for this. What other phones did you notice having problems? Android devices?

        Regards

        Nickolas

        1. Thanks, Nickolas. One of my users was using an HTC phone. Incidentally, they also noted that the blue ‘Register’ button was just a blue block with no text on it.
          The other was a tablet user (I don’t know the brand at the moment), but yes, both Android devices.

          Sorry to ask another thing! I was asked if it’s possible for a user to delete files that they didn’t upload?
          I’m setting up a file repository for a club; and the committee/board of directors wish to have full control of uploading and deleting, but regular subscribers can only download.
          It seems that I can only set it to all users can delete, or only the uploader can delete?

          1. Can you send me the URL of the page, so that I try to upload myself from Android device?

            Regarding the delete capability, if you want to have it only for the committee, you can create a separate file viewer, only visible to them, on the same page (with a different browserid), and configure it accordingly.

            Nickolas

  • Version 4.80 in my dashboard is what I show currently loaded and activated. BUT, I am also getting a message that an update is available to 4.80 — the same version that is already loaded. I have the Pro version, deactivated the free version as noted in your docs. What might be the cause of this version number confusion in my dashboard? PS: Plugin Pro, my version, is working very well. We can load extra large files, no problem. Thank you!

    1. Hi, the plugin uses a 3rd party tool to enable auto updates. Maybe there is a problem or incompatibility with your website. Do you see the same message on the Free version as well?

      Nevertheless, it does not affect the operation of the plugin. It may vanish when a new version is released (in a couple of weeks).

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,
    Not sure this is the correct place to ask a question.
    New user testing before purchase.
    Is the “Pro” version required to list the uploaded files on the page.
    As a customer uploads pictures, I would like them to be able to see a list of “File Names” that have been uploaded.

    Regards,
    Steve F.

    1. Hi, yes the front-end file viewer that can be added in any page or post is included in the Pro version.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,

    The speed of uploading file by this plugin is very fast! But it does not work for some browser(s) or guest.

    Guest fails to upload file by Firefox or Chrome. You can have a try by this link http://www.isac.org.cn/test-2 . I could upload file if I login.

    Error message: “Upload failed! Unknown error.”
    Wordpress debug logs: Undefined index: shortcode_id in wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_ajaxactions.php on line 217;
    Undefined index: wfu_token_ in wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 2764;
    Undefined index: var in wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 2721.

    We use NextGen Gallery plugin. Is there some incompatibility problems with NextGen plugin? I find there are some filters or actions about NextGen plugin at https://www.iptanus.com/filters-and-actions-of-wordpress-file-upload-plugin .

    Please help me, thanks!
    Great plugin by the way.

      1. Thanks for you quickly respond!

        Yes, we use W3 Total Cache plugin and enable most caches. I also find the following things:
        If I purge test page cache by Firefox, then guest could upload file by chrome but guest could not upload file by Firefox…
        The similar result if I purge cache by chrome, guest may not upload file by chrome or safari…

        Best wishes
        Iven

      2. Hello,

        Could you give me some further tips?

        I want to buy the professional version. Could support team help to solve my problem?

        Best wishes
        Iven

        1. Sorry, I missed your response somehow. In general cache plugins cause problems when plugins generate dynamic content on page (useful for enhancing security). What you can do is exclude the plugin from caching. W3 Total Cache has an option for this.

          Regards

          Nickolas

          1. Great! Thanks a lot!

            I just need to exclude the uploading page in W3 Total Cache: Performance -> “Page Cache” -> Advanced -> “Never cache the following pages:” -> your page URL, such as “/test-2” (adding the start “/” if the full page URL is “http://www.isac.org.cn/test-2”).

            I have purchased the professional version of this plugin.

            Best wishes
            Iven

  • Is there a way for the admin to review and approve images uploaded by guests? My idea is to have an image wall with all sorts of images from users. However to avoid not having control of the uploaded content I would like to review it. Is that possible?

    Regards, Mario Leonhardt

    1. Hi, uploaded files moderation is not supported for the moment. There is a way to do it but it is manual.

  • Happily, the Microsoft OneDrive upload feature works perfectly! So I will not use Google Drive option (the one I mentioned in my long comment earlier — that generates error on line of code). Microsoft One Drive is perfect for my needs. Thanks always!

  • Hmm, just a heads up, my earlier comment (re Google Drive issue) is now missing. It was a lot of work, actually provided some of the error specifics and a possible solution. Took about 45 minutes to document all of it, but the comment is gone. Very unhappy, this support system seems to have issues 🙁 I see only the Microsoft One Drive complimentary comment at this time?

  • When uploading to Microsoft One Drive, is it possible to have files load directly to One Drive? Currently, I see they load to the site’s content directory, then move to One Drive, then are removed (per my settings) from the site directory. I read the following remark on v 4.9.0, and thought maybe I was missing my option to load directly, but perhaps I am misinterpreting? It says this:
    “Added Send to OneDrive file action in File Browser so that a file can be transferred to Microsoft OneDrive straight from the File Browser.” I have looked everywhere just in case this is possible. Not a problem if files load (large video files) to WP site first, then get loaded to One Drive, but it does take longer this way, almost twice as long to appear in Microsoft One Drive because of the two-step process. I’ll await confirmation, thank you always.

    1. Oh, never mind, I see in File Browser when hovering at file name, for those loaded in WP directory, there is an option to send to One Drive after the fact. No worries, just thought I was missing something. Pretty cool plugin! Glad I went Pro, too 😉

      1. Hi, I sent you a direct email because WordPress does not get along fine with code inside comments.

        Nickolas

  • I want to use 2 actions after submit. I currently have one that sends the content of the fields and the uploaded document itself to me as an email, I would like a second action to be: Sending the results of a fill field (email address entered by the uploader) to receive a confirmation email stating we received the document. can you help???

  • Hi,

    When using the “Select subfolder” option with responsive mode, there’s a PHP warning :
    Notice: Undefined index: width in /home/obauge/domains/aiva-eu.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_blocks.php on line 120

    Indeed, $data[“width”] is used but not defined :
    if ( $data[“responsive”] ) $subfolders_item[“width”] = $data[“width”];

    Could you fix this please ?
    Thx in advance,
    Yan.

  • Small problem with the pro version: [wordpress_file_upload_browser] lets me configure the columns I want to display just fine, but does not seem to include horizontal space management. When user field content or file names get too long, everything that follows just vanishes out of sight because the page is not wide enough. This includes the page navigation in the upper right corner, which means once you moved to a page with long field entries, you can not leave it again because the navigation ist gone. Is there a way to define column widths, as with the uploader? Or any other work around which I have not found, yet?
    Kind regards,
    Claudia

  • Hello, I don’t see where to activate for email notifications. I am not receiving any notifications when uploading files. Could you help me out? Thanks!

    Stephen

    1. Hi, edit the shortcode using its visual editor. Go to Notifications tab. There you will see the options for email notification. You need to put your email in recipients to receive an email whenever a file is uploaded.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi Nickolas,
        for me, email notifications also do not work. I have already installed WP SMTP (test emails go out perfectly fine), but emails on file upload are not sent out. I receive a message that the file has been uploaded with warnings. No clue what to to next… Would be great to get an answer!
        With best regards,
        David

          1. The shortcode is:

            [wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg, *.jpeg” maxsize=”12″ createpath=”false” duplicatespolicy=”reject” placements=”filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/userdata/progressbar/message” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”xxxx@yyyy.de” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n%This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.%n%%n%Best Regards” medialink=”true”]

            Hope that helps…

          2. I do not see any problem in the shortcode. It should normally work. Did you check Spam?

            Nickolas

  • I checked the spam and there is nothing. I guess the email is not even sent out as the warning message occurs after the upload. I guess I will have to live with it and check for new files manually every now and then.

  • Pre-purchase question
    I would like to purchase this plugin for a client project, q:
    -> is the %username% function also working with Google Drive, don’t see it listed
    -> can I use this plugin in a multisite install, per site or across sites?

    THX
    Bernhard

    1. Hi, %userdata% is included in Google Drive Path.

      Regarding multisite, I haven’t tested it. You can test the Free version. If it works, Pro version will work as well.

      regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello!
    I inserted [wordpress_file_upload_browser] in a page. The plugin works and the browser displays the uploaded files. All good. If I leave the backend of WordPress and log out, the files are no longer displayed. Not until I log in to the backend.
    What can this be?

    1. The file viewer by default will display the files of the currently logged user. So, if you are not logged, no files will be shown. However it can be configured to display all files to all users, or in any other way.

      What do you want to do?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas. I am trying your plugin to upload files used in a workflow. Each upload form will be a Work Order. Files will be downloaded by an admin, who will also use the info data on each form submission.
    Is it possible to add an extra “STATUS” field, to be filled by the admin, to sort and update the uploads (work orders) status? Could be great to have this “SATUS” in the List of Updated Files.
    Thanks

    1. You can add additional fields in the upload form. Using the visual editor of the shortcode, go to Additional Fields tab. There you will see how to add fields. It is pretty straightforward.

      You cannot see STATUS in the List of Uploaded Files, but you can see it View Log tab.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. This happened due to an error of the new release. The error existed for a couple of hours, so I suppose you updated during that time. Now the error has been fixed.

      Nevertheless, try to activate the plugin again. It may work with no problem. If it crashes your website again, then you will have to delete it and download the latest version from your Iptanus account.

      I apologise for the inconvinience.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I am getting this error. Please advise.

  • Is it possible to give author or editor access to the uploaded files menu on the dashboard instead of being only visible to administrator?

    1. Hi, not it is not possible. However if you have the Pro version, you can do it using the front-end file viewer, which can be configured to show all uploaded files to authors and editors.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi – I have tried to find some information about my requirement so hope you can help.
    I thought this would work either in free or professional version.

    I need to:
    – Upload images to the media library (works)
    – (?) Limit the number of uploads (?)
    – Those images are specific to the user who is logged in (WP logs the username against the image already)
    – (?) Display on the same page a gallery which displays ONLY those images which have been uploaded by that user and not everyone in the same role (?)
    – (?) Display on a DIFFERENT page the same images in the gallery mentioned in previous point before but visible to everyone who is logged in (maybe with a specific role)

    This is for a multi user website who have two types of users who must login. One primary user sets a profile with images and the other is a majority of the users who will be able to view those pictures in a gallery labeled with the main users profile which is a different page.

    Hope this makes sense – any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m a beginner!

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1. Limit number of uploads: it can be done with a plugin hook. I can send it to you.
      2. Display gallery of images of the currently logged user. It can be done with the Pro version.
      3. Display gallery of all images to logged users (or to specific role). Again it can be done with the Pro version.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi we have file upload pro Version 3.11.0 and it works fine with word press 5.0.2. We had tried to update to file upload 4.x in the middle of the year and the plugin stopped working so we went back to 3.11.0 and everything was fine. Withe new word press, i am trying to keep our plugins up to date to avoid conflicts or problems and I was trying to use 4.10.2 on our website again. I get the follow in our error log:

    [03-Jan-2019 00:20:43 UTC] PHP Warning: include_once(/home/jppcnet/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/vendor/wp-updates/wp-updates-plugin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jppcnet/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wfu_loader.php on line 94

    the plugin installed correctly and file permissions were good. Can you point me in the right direction to fix this? I installed the plugin ver 4.10.2 on a clone of our website on the same server and it seems to work just fine. I even made sure all the same plugins were installed incase of conflict.

    Any help you can provide would be great. thank you.

  • I can’t seem to get the plugin configured to upload to Google Drive. I click on the button to allow it and nothing happens. Please help!

  • Having issues with webcam not displaying on site, it worked the first time it was set up, i changed recording time from 10 seconds (default) to 120 seconds, then errors. the instance was deleted and redone. Since then webcam does not display after numerous attempts. Using free version to test.

  • We have File Upload Pro 4.10.3 running on WordPress 5.0.3. Everything runs well except for one issue caused by my fat finger. When a user has uploaded multiple files, a message shows up stating “all files uploaded successfully”. I just cannot find where to configure the label of this message. Well this is okay because the English page works well, but my site is a multi-language site and when I made another instance in Chinese, I made a typo when translating the “all files…” message. And now I just cannot recall where I configured the Chinese for the message of “all files uploaded successfully”… Please help. Much appreciated.

    1. Hi, the plugin’s front-end is translated in several languages, including Chinese. This is why you see it in Chinese. To edit that string you need to do the following:

      1. Locate the file /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/languages/wp-file-upload-zh_CN.po
      2. You need to open this file with a compatible language editor, like Poedit.
      3. Locate the string “all files…” and make the corrections you want.
      4. Save the file. A new file, wp-file-upload-zh_CN.mo will also be created.
      5. Put both fles back to /languages folder.

      You are done.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, this is not something supported by operating systems, so it will have to be done programmatically. Password-protection of files has a meaning if the files are also encrypted. I mean that when the file is uploaded, the system encrypts its contents based on the password provided by the user. This way the file will not be readable, even if someone has physical access to the file (can read it from the file system).

      Do you mean this, or something simpler?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, Nickolas,

    I’m pretty new at all this, but catching on. This is what I’m trying to accomplish and maybe you can help. At least the powers that be at WP.com recommended this site. I’m building a site in which I’m selling physical products. The products that I’m selling require my customers to upload an image so that I can capture that image, edit that image, and add it to the product. Is this a plugin that can help me with that task? Thanks, Perry

    1. Hi Perry, I have done similar customizations in the past, I mean to integrate the upload plugin with Woocommerce, however every case is different and requires some custom coding. We can discuss it if you want, my email is nickboss@iptanus.com

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi,
    I have purchased the PRO version but I’m not able to solve this issue: I tried to upload files with two different logged in users, both with subscriber role. When I use “user1” I see files uploaded by user1, when I use “user2” I can see files uploaded by user2. So my question is: is there a way to see all the uploaded files, regardless of who did the upload? I already checked this https://www.iptanus.com/file-viewer-of-wordpress-file-upload-plugin/ and set everything in the same way.

    Thank you,
    Ric

    1. Hi, be default the front-end file viewer is configured to display the files only of the currently logged user. Open the visual editor and go to Filters tab. There you will see Filter By User options. Uncheck “Only from Current User” option and check “Select All”.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Hi, you can add a user field in the upload form so that the user can enter a caption together with the uploaded file. You can configure the plugin so that the uploaded file is added to Media Library. Then, using a plugin hook the value entered by the user can be set as the image’s caption in Media Library.

      You can do this with the Free version as well. Just send me an email at nickboss@iptanus.com to send you the hook.

      Regards

  • Hi Nickolas
    I’m testing your plugin for a project where I need to allow authenticated users to upload xml files.
    I have set Allowed File Extensions to: *.xml
    The generated shortcode is: [wordpress_file_upload uploadpatterns=”*.xml”]
    However when I try to upload an xml file I still get an error message:
    File test.xml not uploaded
    Upload failed!
    File not allowed.

    How could I solve this problem please?
    Kind regards

  • Hi Nickolas,

    bought right now the pro version of wp file upload. Great stuff! Lot of interesting functions enabled Vs the free version.

    I’ve a question: do checked with below environment, same server, same files uploaded, same all; only devices / os is changing:

    firefox win 10 working
    chrome win 10, ios (ipad), android (2 devices) working
    safari ios (ipad) working

    FIREFOX android 1 device tested (one of the above with chrome) NOT working, meaning: able to upload one file only (as free version), NOT able to upload a group of files, it seems hanging when select “upload” button and doing nothing.

    Any suggestion on why the couple firefox/android is not working?

    Thanks in advance
    Paolo (Italy)

    1. Hi Paolo, please check browser compatibility regarding multiple file support here.

      You see that Firefox for Android still does not support it.

      Regards

  • Hi, Nickolas.

    I am having problems because I added two different Instances in the same page. Website says that they have the same ID, but their ID are “Instance 1” and “Instance 2”.

    By the way, I can’t see the ID in the shortcodes and, thus, I guess that the problem can be there.

    Thank you so much in advance.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I have the requirement to upload the files, Video, audio etc in the fronted and it should save to my google drive separately to the folder as based upon the path.

    So If I purchase this plugin then is it possible to achieve my requirement. My requirement is just to save the files,video,audio etc in the Google Drive after upload.

    After purchase and install the plugin in my admin, Is this any settings to enter the client id, secret key and access token or you have a native app to provide the same.

    As per the your plugin screenshot, you have the setting option for only the Google Drive default path. But I have to create the three folder on google drive for video, audio and files.

    If everything is fine and you assure me, it will work as per my requirement then let me know. I will purchase this now. Because I have no time to fix the bug after installation with support or any other option.

    Best Regards
    Aneesh

  • Hi, I have some question.

    1. Can I display uploaded image from all users but based on their own category in a page?
    2. When user upload an image, can they put a custom link so that when the image displayed on a page and clicked by a visitor, they will be redirected to that link? I use another plugin that add link url and target on image/media library, will that works with this function?

    Thank you.

  • Hi Nickolas,
    I have a function tied to wfu_after_upload that occasionally seems to not fire. I noticed this because the function is supposed to delete the file and some files were not getting deleted. I placed a logger at the start of the function, and a occasionally the log entry was not made even though a file was successfully uploaded. Any idea what might be causing this?
    Thanks

      1. This is the shortcode I use:
        [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/temp-doc” uploadid=”1″ singlebutton=”true” fitmode=”responsive”]

  • Hi,

    in WP 5.1 why creates this plugin inline css? How can i disable this? does it work with this version?

    1. Hi, this is how the plugin works, it generates inline Javascript and css code because it relies on a customizable template system.

      Regards

  • Hello Nickolas

    very nice plugin. Is there a chance to have the buttons select/upload ad the input-field in layout from my theme?
    I’m not a great css developer, could you please help in this case?
    thanks a lot

    Dietmar

  • Hi Nickolas,
    I’m having a problem with the plugin. When I select the file and click “upload,” nothing happens and the buttons become inactive (with a gray ‘x’). This happens on any browser I try. Can you help please?
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Hi, Nickolas,

    Sent you an email regarding this popup error: No result from remote server.

    In addition to that popup message, in the browser console we get this error:

    Forbidden (403)
    /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wfu_ajax_action_ask_server&wfu_uploader_nonce=8e583f7535&sid=1&unique_id=qTWTSGPQ1A&start_time=1553702033744&session_token=4158654745c9ab7456e9650.97069647&filenames=69636f6e2d6e652e706e67&filesizes=739:1

    The plugin works perfectly when a session has not started on a public page. But once the user login (using custom code) and a new session is started, the plugin in same page stops working and get the above messages.

    We suspect is a php’s session_start() function that causes the problem. Please advice of how to overcome this.

  • Hi, How do you centre the file upload button using CSS? I have tried everything I could think of but nothing has worked so far…

    1. Hi, yes sometimes css can be tricky, depending on the theme. Can I see the page myself and propose some css?

      Regards

      Nickolas

          1. Ok got it. Try the following css:

            div#wordpress_file_upload_submit_1 { text-align: center; }

            Nickolas

          2. Thanks Nikolas. That worked perfectly from the Additional CSS area in the theme editor. I was sure I tried that format in there but obviously not…

            I did have one last question: is there a way to disable the file attach and submit buttons? I have an abstract submission form ready to go for this symposium but would like it visible but disabled until the opening date. At the moment I am just directing this to a temp page. It would be good to be able to have the form in place but not active until the abstract submissions open…

            Cheers
            Rob

          3. The following css will disable “Apply Now” button in your form, as well as all fields.

            .file_userdata_message { background-color: #eee; }
            .file_userdata_radiobutton, .file_userdata_message, .file_input_submit { pointer-events: none; }

            Is this what you want?

            Nickolas

  • hi, I am having a problem that the email sent to me only contains the uploaded file but not the rest of forms fields. kindly guide me why my other fields of forms are not sent in mail to me along with the uploaded file. the other problem I am having is that the listbox saves just first entry to database but not the multiple.

    please help

    1. Hi, if you put the variable %userdata1% inside the email body, it will be replaced by the value of the 1st field, %userdata2% by the 2nd and so on.

      Regarding listbox, do you want to make it multi-select?

      Nickolas

      1. Yes. Checkbox was also not working for multiple options so I used listbox . I need multip select

  • Hello,
    I have PRO version bought, but I cant have thumbnails. I checked thumbnails in the settings and it is allowed, but I dont see them. What do I have to do?

    Thank you for your prompt answer.

    1. Hi, how do you want to view the thumbnails? Inside the file viewer of the plugin?

      Regards

  • Hi.
    I purchased and installed the pro version.
    Now I’m having this error:

    The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

    I’ve tested and when I deactivate the world upload pro the error is not showed

        1. If you go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload, do you see any errors there like “Iptanus server unreachable…” ?

          Nickolas

          1. There is a way to get more information about the problem by enabling DEBUG mode in your website. Do you know how to do it?

            Nickolas

    1. Ok I notice that this curl error is also in my test environment. I will check if it is related to the plugin.

      Nickolas

    2. In my test environment, I notice that curl errors are shown in Site Health even if the plugin is deactivated.

  • Hi, Nickolas.
    I’d started to try light version today and placed shortcode at checkout page, like this:

    [woocommerce_checkout]
    Envie o seu arquivo
    [wordpress_file_upload]

    But WordPress File Upload fields still figure at Thankyou (order-received) page. Is there any way to omit it after checkout? Or, by the way, show it only at Thankyou page?

    Thanks a lot!
    Regards
    Leandro

    1. Hi Leandro, probably what you want to do requires some more advanced customization of Woocommerce. Yo need to customize the checkout templates of Woocommerce (requires some knowledge of PHP) and put the upload plugin there, or by implementing one of Woocommerce’s filters.

      Do you know how to do that?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello there,

    I’ve purchased the pro version of the plugin and I have a few questions, as I couldn’t find answers in the documentation:

    1) Is it possible to sort the uploaded files in the File Viewer in a descending order, starting by the most recent upload date at the top? I’ve seen that columns can be set to sortable in the File VIewer options, but still I can’t make sure that by default files show in the specific order from the most recent upload at the top to the oldest one at the bottom. Is there a way to do it?

    2) Is it possible to upload links as an alternative to files? I’ve seen that, by adding “Link” in the displayed columns, documents can be turned into links, but what I would need is the direct upload of already existing links by the users. Is there a way to do it?

    3) Can uploaded files be approved or rejected by admins before showing up in the File Viewer?

    4) I know this is very unlikely, but I’m asking anyway: is there any functionality or way that allows user reviews (i.e. from 1 to 5 stars) on the uploaded documents?

    Thanks in advance,

    Riccardo

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1) can be done. Send me an email at nickboss@iptanus.com to give you instructions (cannot do it in comments, code is stripped).
      2) no upload of URLs is not supported. There is a tweak to make it work, but it is not perfect. I will get back to you on this.
      3) File moderation is not supported. However if it is just a matter of showing or not in the file viewer, there might be a solution using the plugin’s hooks.
      4) No, however you could add a Radio Button user field with items 1,2,3,4,5 so that the user selects a rating.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi,

        I’ve sent you an email as you suggested, but I reply also here below, just in case:

        1) We’ve found a way to do this, if we need other information we’ll let you know, thanks!

        2) What’s the tweak to allow the URLs upload?

        3) What’s the plugin’s hook to show or not the file in the File Viewer? How can this be moderated by admins?

        4) How do we use the radio button in the file viewer to let the user rate each file? Will this show the overall results to the other users?

        Thanks a lot,

        Riccardo

  • Hi, I use the free version, how can I get the uploaded file link or name ?
    I need to include the url of the file uploaded on another shortcode in order to create a post with that link

    Thank’s in advance

  • Hi Admin,

    I need to send an admin notification email with file URLs. Is there any option inbuilt/customization?

    I need something like %fileurl%.

    Please let me know is there any option available?

  • Hi Nickolas,
    thank you for this great Plugin (got the free version)! But I have a backend problem. I have created about 20 additional fields, the shortcode shows them, the “addidional data fields” backend section doesnt (only half of them) AND they are not shown on the user frontend side…
    1. Is there a limit in creating additional fields?
    2. Is there a way to update the shortcode / copy-paste shortcode in plugin backend section for different instances with (allmost) the same content (to update backend content too)?
    Thanks for your answer and best regards
    Frank

    1. Hi Frank, can you send me the shortcode? Maybe there is a syntax error which breaks it.

      If you want to duplicate a shortcode, you can copy it and paste it in another page manually. As simple as that. Then you can edit it with the visual editor.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello, I have a question regarding the additional fields options for the upload. Is it possible to send a query param as data for an additional field? I’d like to pass a query param to the upload page and have that param’s value added to the additional data when the file is uploaded.

      1. Hello again,

        Don’t have a specific example, but it would be a link something like this:

        /upload-file-page/?item_selection=sky8870

        on a page that links to the page with my file upload shortcode on it (that page being upload-file-page).

        So I want to take the query param value from item_selection (“sky8870”) and store it in a custom field to send along with the file upload.
        Basically a hidden custom field that I can auto populate based on a page query param.

  • Hi, My WordPress installation is in French but WordPress File Upload is still in English. Can’t find the language settings in the Dashboard… I may be blind. Sorry for that!

    1. Hi, plugin should switch automatically to French when you change language in Dashboard Settings/General.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • We seldom use WP FILE UPLOAD. But it seems to give a slight problem if we keep it active.
    we found the problem when we run the TOOL “Site Health” which reports:
    “2 Critical issues

    The REST API encountered an error
    Performance
    The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.

    The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10003 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

    Your site could not complete a loopback request
    Performance
    Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.

    The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.
    Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10002 milliseconds with 0 bytes received. ”

    These errors DO NOT OCCUR in the report of SITE HEALTH if we DEactivate WP FILE UPLOAD.
    Can you investigate this? We will DEactivate WP FILE UPLOAD for now.
    Thanks VERY much for an otherwise great plugin.

  • Hi Nickolas, congratulations on creating a very useful and efficient plugin!

    I think I will buy the pro version however there is one last doubt I have.

    In the free version i was able to upload my files perfectly however the progress bar did not work, it only shows me when the upload is complete and turns green.

    PS: I can see in the JS console how the event in AJAX is measuring the download, however it is not visible in the view.

  • Hi Friend,
    I want to buy the pro version but i have one question first. I need to build a simple form for my client’s with few basic inputs such as name, email, phone number, and option for them to upload files directly to my google drive account. It can be done using the Pro Version?

  • Hello Nickolas. I have question.
    1. Can I select or arrange sub-folder in Uploaded File List Instances?
    2. Can I add sub-folder file list filters?
    3. Can I fix file’s name after download? It been change alien language (exam: แบบประเมิà¸.doc) because my file use Thai language name.
    Thank you very much.

    1. Hi, here are answers:

      1. first you need to show the subfolder information in a column. How is your upload form configured?
      2. Yes if there is a subfolder column in the file viewer. You can add a search filter based on that column. Check this link.
      3. File Browser page in Dashboard area of the plugin allows to rename the uploaded files.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello, before I purchase, I would like to know.

    So I have a form with 3 [wordpress_file_upload] inside, each one with a diferent id, and I want to limit the number of files that can be uploaded by each one of those [wordpress_file_upload].

    Also, is there a way to catch the “on success event” of each one of those [wordpress_file_upload]?

    By the way, I would like to see a live demo preview.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hello, I have two questions:
    1 Is possible put a label to the upload field?
    2 Is possible set condicional rules (a drop down that if it is select, shows more field and upload fields?

    1. Hi, there is already an option to put a label. Maybe you mean something else?

      Conditional rules can be added with Javascript, however it requires custom coding.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, I love the plugin. I bought the Pro Version.
    I am now trying create the ability for the user “A” to upload a file to sub-folder A, and have user “B” upload to a sub-folder “B”
    Like Mr. Smith would only upload to Mr. Smiths Box and Mr. Jones can only upload to Mr. Jones Box.
    Is this possible?

    1. Hi, yes maybe it can be done. Actually you can add the variable %username% inside the upload path, e.g. /uploads/%username%. The variable %username% will be replaced by the username of the currently logged user.

      So the upload path for each user will be different, according to its username.

      Is this an option for you?

      Nickolas

  • I am trying to make edits to one of my hooks for the first time in a few months. After I press “Save” I am getting the error “Not Acceptable! An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.”

    I already have the “ModSecurity” restriction option checked in settings.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Hi, are you getting this error only when trying to Save Hooks? Try also changing something in Settings of the plugin. Is it accepted?

      Regards

      Nickolas

        1. Do you have access to the error log of your web server? Maybe Mod_Security is blocking the operation. If it does, an error will be logged in error log.

          Nickolas

          1. Unfortunately, my hosting provider doesn’t give me direct access to the logs. If I trigger the error, and then go to the “errors” section in CPanel, there is nothing there.

  • Hi,
    I have the pro version.
    I like to know if is posiible to change the aspect and colors of select and upload button,
    I also changed the sizes of buttons in the right form, but the sizes don’t changes.
    Another question,
    how to place the upload button after the additional fields?
    You can see this example page:
    https://www.photooyou.com/weddingesempio

    Thank’s in advance.

    Claudio

    1. Hi, it is possible to change colors, fonts and other aspects of the plugin’s elements using css. Sizes can change through the Dimensions tab of the visual editor of the plugin. However you need to set the measurement unit together with the values, e.g. 100px (not just 100).
      You can change the relative position of the elements using Placements tab of the visual editor of the plugin.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hi,
        for size ok, but for color by CSS I dont found in the Upload Form Options page the right parameter to insert in CSS (for example “successmessagecolors” )

        Regards.

        1. Hi, here is a link with the basic css selectors of the plugin’s elements. If these are not enough then let me know.

  • We keep getting a Captcha Error so I checked on Google’s reCaptcha site and it shows this Error:

    “We detected that your site is not verifying reCAPTCHA solutions. This is required for the proper use of reCAPTCHA on your site. ”

    How can we fix this?

  • Great plugin so far. Spent some time coming up to speed on how to format the pages correctly and really like the flexibility.

    We receive a lot of files created on Linux/Unix systems where multiple dots in a file name are common and are not necessarily an indication of a security issue like Windows files. I added the following code to my functions.php file:

    // Override File Upload widget blacklist extensions
    global $wfu_extension_blacklist;
    if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“tar”]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“tar”]);
    if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“zip”]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“zip”]);
    if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“gz”]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“gz”]);
    if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“gzip”]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“gzip”]);
    if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“tgz”]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“tgz”]);
    if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“7z”]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist[“7z”]);
    if ( isset($GLOBALS[“WFU_GLOBALS”][“WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE”]) ) $GLOBALS[“WFU_GLOBALS”][“WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE”][3] = “loose”;

    This allows me to upload files, but the file name is mangled. Here is an example:
    Original file name: system.module-20161221-092830.tar.gz
    Uploaded file name: system-module_-20161221-092830-tar.gz

    I have these options set in my shortcode:
    uploadpatterns=”*.*,*.tar,*.zip,*.gz,*.gzip,*.tgz,*.7z” maxsize=”200″ forcefilename=”true”

    Is there any way to make the raw file name to go through?

    1. Hi, I do not know but maybe not. The plugin has its own form to upload files and it is difficult to integrate with other form plugins.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I’ve just updated from 4.11.2 to 4.12.1 and am getting an error when trying to activate the plugin.
    I’m running WordPress 5.1.4 and cant upgrade to the latest version due to the PHP being stuck on 5.4.15.

    The error is “Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 5466”

  • Hello.
    Do you know why I can’t upload a file as a Subscriber? (I can as a user with role of Editor and above)
    Thank you.

    1. You can do this with the front-end file viewer which is included in the Professional version of the plugin.

      Regards

  • Setting the plugin to only load on certain pages does not prevent scripts and styles from being enqueued on every page. It only makes it so the shortcode doesn’t work. All these unnecessary files loading drop my PageSpeed score by nearly 20 points on mobile!

    I swear it worked properly when I first bought the Pro version last year.

    Is this a bug/oversight or am I doing something wrong?

      1. Thanks for the quick reply!

        I’ve whitelisted two pages in the ‘Restrict Front-End Loading’ setting under the ‘Advanced’ tab.

        Testing some more, the scripts and styles load on the front page, archives and single posts, as well as the whitelisted pages. The only places they do not load are PAGES that are not whitelisted.

  • I have one more question about Pro-version.
    In what area of the site page will the download links to the files uploaded by user?
    Is a separate area for all files or a link next to the upload button?
    Maybe it’s possible to configure?
    Thanks advance!

  • I just bought the Pro Version but can’t seem to activate it with the following error message:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wordpress_file_upload_preload_check() (previously declared in /mnt/web413/a3/73/52881773/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/wordpress_file_upload.php:66) in /mnt/web413/a3/73/52881773/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 66

  • I wish that you wouldn’t strip leading spaces from some of the fields, such as (required). It looks ugly squashed right up against the label. I know that HTML rendering is going to compress multiple spaces into just one, but one would be better than nothing.

    Alternatively, you could allow a sub-set of HTML markup tags such as , , and for instance.

    1. Hi, unfortunately this is how HTML works. Usually this kind of issues are resolved using css and playing with margins.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. The plugin already has such an option. Open the visual editor of the shortcode. You will find options to send email notifications in Notifications tab.

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        I solved this issue. And it seems works very well.
        I have another question: I configured the plugin to upload the photos into GDrive into the folder “photos” in the root of Gdrive. After a photo upload, the photo is stored into the wordpress but not into Drive.

        Where could be the problem?

        Thank you and best regards,
        Federico

          1. Hello Nickolas,

            the transfers tab is empty.
            I set this folder for the upload: wp-content/uploads/photos. I checked and the folder contains the photos I uploaded.

            I have another question for you: when I upload files around 5 or more MB, the plugins returns a timeout. With smaller files everything works well.

  • Hi There
    Plugin was running fine for 2 years. Now found out, that the pro version is causing a problem in my admin panel. Pages are working fine, but the admin panel gets realy slow, when the plugin is activated. Any ideas what I can do?
    Thanks

  • I tried to upload a file called 波音公司(Boeing)在查尔斯顿附近的新厂破土动工时.pdf using both the standard and pro versions of the uploader.

    The file is stored as ————Boeing———————————————.pdf

    My site is on a Ubuntu 19.10 platform.

    What do I need to do to enable the plugin to recognise non-English characters?

    1. Hi, you can enable Do Not Change Filename option in the shortcode, so that the filename is not changed.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Nikolas,

        Although I said that enabling Do Not Change Filename fixed my non-English character problem, I subsequently discovered it cause another problem: with that option disabled, the upIoader would replace any spaces in the file name with dashes; with it enabled, this no longer happens and any files with spaces in their name cause another plugin (the PDF embedder) to crash out.

        Could I request a development for a later release to add a new option to remove spaces from the file name in addition to the Do Not Change Filename option?

  • Hi, Nickolas.
    Thank you for your plugin!
    And one question: Can I get google drive download link of my uploaded files in my dashboard when using google drive upload?
    If have not yet, where can I found this part in your code?
    I am developer and now modifying clients site.
    Thank you.

  • Hello Nickolas,

    I solved my previous issues but I cannot upload photos to my GDrive Account.
    I checked the file transfer tab and it is empty.

    How can I solve this issue?

    Thanks for the help.

  • Hello,
    I am having an issue with the plugin (I have a regular licence for it).
    I am getting this warning:

    Warning: Use of undefined constant COOKIEHASH – assumed ‘COOKIEHASH’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/XXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wfu_loader.php on line 33

    I have currently uninstall the plugin.
    I am running a WordPress MU website, and the plugin has been working correctly in the past.
    Thanks for your help.

    1. Hi, what PHP version do you have? Please upgrade to PHP 7.4 if you can and let me know if this fixes your problem.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello,
    I am using your plugin to upload files to a website of my creation. I’m trying to send the files to the “upload” folder in the site root. Despite having inserted the two dots (..) before the path, the files continue to go to the uploads folder present in wp.content, that is the default one. Could you please tell me how to correctly write the path to direct the files where I want?
    Thank you!

    1. Hi Carlo, uploadpath should be like this: uploadpath=”../upload” . Have you activated option medialink (Add Uploaded Files to Media Library)?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello Nickolas,

    I’m runnig the PRO version and everything works but when I upload several file in one action I get an error message “Upload Failed. Unknown reason”.

    I enabled “how Detailed Admin Messages” and “Debug Mode” in order to understand what happened but I don’t know where the error logs are shown.

    Can you help me please?

    Thank you and best regards,
    Federico

  • HI Nickolas,
    I have purchased the pro version.I have added the short code twice for one of my product.when i try to upload myself…i can upload only for first shortcode and not for second one

    1. Hi, yep, you need to put different uploadid in the forms. Set uploadid=”2″ in the second form and it will work.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi,

    I’ve installed the latest version of the plugin and am running PHP 7.3 (the highest GoDaddy offers us). Our form lets you select your item for upload, or drag and drop it, but that field never populates. It’s as if nothing was ever selected. Also, the CAPTCHA either comes up blank, or, in No Account, with a broken graphic link (I did register CAPTCHA codes with Google).

    I’ve turned off all plugins to look for conflicts. Still no dice.

    Our previous version was 3.9.0a. You had done a custom fix for us four years ago. I don’t know if that’s related to our problem now, but any help is appreciated.

    http://robsonpublishing.com/ftp-upload

    Thanks.

    1. Same problem here with reCatcha.
      With “no account” selected it shows an error frontend.
      And with account selected the reCatcha checkbox is not showing, and it is not possible to verify/submit the upload. I have no idea what broke it, so I’m hoping for a quick fix.
      For the moment I have to leave it unprotected for it to work.
      No caching plugin here.

      1. Hi, what is your upload page to check? please restore the captcha back so that I can check (or put it in another page)

        Regards

        Nickolas

          1. Hi Michael, I made some changes recently regarding captcha, can you check?

            Nickolas

          2. Hi Nickolas, I’ve updated the plugin to the latest version.
            It’s still very inconsistant on page loads. One out of three times its showing correctly, which means two out of three it’s giving me the “Whoops, looks like something…” message.
            The good thing is, that it’s now showing the verification box correctly (not squeezed).
            I have tried with a new instance, with only the most basic settings and its still inconsistant on page loads.
            I have no further suggestions, but I’m having faith in you to find the solution.
            Regards,
            Michael

          3. Hi Michael, are you still using RecaptchaV2 (no account) option? Can you change to RecaptchaV2?

            Nickolas

          4. Hi Nickolas,
            when switching to V2 (with account) the checkbox isn’t showing at all. I have tried both instances with no luck.
            Maybe next step is for you to view the config in my WordPress install?
            My order no. is #7096, so maybe You could contact me in that regard?
            Thanks in advance
            Regards,
            Michael

    1. Add the following css in Custom CSS area of your theme:

      form#uploadform_1 {
      left: 0px;
      }

      Does it work?

      Nickolas

      1. After checking the settings again, I found the error. I have not ticked the box ” Relax CSS Rules”. It works now. Thanks anyway for the support 🙂 Great Job!

  • Sir, how to change the directory of my uploaded file? i have tried (..) double dot in front of my upload path but it still upload the file in default path eg: Uploads. i want to change the directory outside the wp-content

  • Hy, I use “User Role Editor” to manage the rights of my Groups. Can you tell me which rights the group needs to upload a file. Only Admins and Editors can upload, but the group i created at my own does not.

    1. Hi, by default the upload form is configured to let all users upload files. By using Upload Roles option in the shortcode you can configure which roles are allowed to view the upload form and upload files. is this what you ask?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello, upgraded to pro version and love it. 2 questions, 1) Is there a way to get the progress loading bar to change from bright green to another color? If so how would I do that either via shortcode or css. 2) Shortcode colors aren’t working for Success, Warning, and Fail, what is this CSS to use? Thank you.

  • Hi – just purchased WP File Upload Pro – and it meets a lot of my requirements.

    Question: is it possible for a user, from the front end, to rename a file he has uploaded, or to rename it at the time of uploading?
    I know it is possible to allow a user to delete a file he uploaded, but how can he rename a file from the front end?

    Thanks, Adrian

  • Hello,
    I found your plugin and its very interesting.
    I have a project for a small accounting firm.
    Due to the Chinese virus problem they cannot see clients in person as usual.
    We are looking for a solution where the client can upload files to the firm via the existing website and then files get automatically sent to a Google Drive folder and the originals are erased from the website.
    Can your plugin do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi, yes it can be done. The plugin can be linked with a Google Drive account. Then files that are uploaded to the website are automatically transferred to that account and the local files (in the website) are deleted.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • I have a printing company and we are designing a new website. I need a page on the site for clients to upload large print files. Will this work? how much is the professional so they can do the large files?

    How many files at a time can be done?

    Can they drag and drop like we transfer?

    Thanks for the help

    1. Hi, yes the Pro version allows files of unlimited size to be uploaded. It costs 20 euros, one-time fee. It allows multiple files to be uploaded at once. There are no limitations (except your browser’s limitations). It also supports drag-n-drop of files onto the upload form.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Pro version. File download only works once if “restrict front-end-loading” is set. The first click on “download” works but generates many php7:notices. Occasionally “PHP Warning: require_once(wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory”. But always many “PHP Warning: pack(): Type H: illegal hex digit [ in C:\\Users\\Mike\\Documents\\Websites\\www.test.dev.cc\\wp-content\\plugins\\wordpress-file-upload-pro\\lib\\wfu_functions.php on line 326”. Setting “restrict front-end-loading” back to false eliminates the problem and multiple downloads work (after reloading the file upload page.

      1. “restrict-front-end-loading” is In Settings/Wordpress File Upload/Advanced

        It defines whether the plugin will load on all pages or specific ones. If it is ‘false’ then it will load on all pages. To restrict loading only on specific pages set a comma-separated list of page or post IDs.

        I set it to the page ID.

  • Hi,

    I’m using PRO version. Awesome plugin!
    I wonder if there is a possibility to add those functionalities (somehow?):

    1. Rename before (/after?) upload (when I upload file from mobile phone, by taking a photo then its name is set on “image.jpg”) => maybe by additional field?
    2. The latest download date&time for current user => maybe by special hook?
    3. Bulk download or/and “download all” from current list view

    Best regards!

    1. Hi, sorry for the delayed answer. I must have missed your question.

      1 and 2 can be done relatively easy with a hook.

      No 3 requires a lot of customization from my side.

      Please send me an email at nickboss@iptanus.com

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, thanks for the fileupload plug in works fine in as much as I can use it out of the box to add an upload fucntion to my page.

    A small matter but still… the File Upload Button this is too small for the button text. Any ideas how I can fix this please (make the button autofit the text)?

    Also I need a bit of help with the Additional Fields settings. I turn on “Include Additonal Data Fields” but they do not show up on my page??

    I have also changed the plug in title in settings but again this does not show up on my page, jsut the standard “Upload files” label.

    In short any changes I make to the standard settings to change labels or add fields is not appearing on my page.

    Any help would be well appreciated.

    Many Thanks,

    Lee

    1. Button size and also other elements’ size can change from Dimensions tab in the visual editor of the shortcode.

      Additional data fields should normally work, as well as any changes you make to labels. Are you using any page builder?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,

    yes I am using elementor but am new to all this. Also using a theme for hotel booking. That said I am nearly finished but being able to use your plugin will help me get some essential information from my customer back in to the wp fileupload db.

    I make changes in the visual editor shortcode but am missing something as they do not translate in to changes on your plug in on run time, except colour changes.

    When I re enter the visual editor all the changes I have made get re set and I am back to the basic [wordpress_file_upload] shortcode??

    Many Thanks,

    Lee

    Any help with this would be great

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Thanks for your response May 29, 2020 at 1:23 pm, I had another look at what you said and realised that I needed to generate the short code in your plugin and paste in to elementor. Thanks.

    I have extra fields and the data is going strait in to my uploaded files db in wp so happy with that.

    Can you help with layout please.

    I would like to leave a space between each field on the form.

    When I set my field labels to left the field overlaps the label. Can you help with label position.

    I still cant get my head round the dimensions settings so all the fields are different sizes. Any pointers, some are set to 600 some to 800. Really no idea on this one!

    Many Thanks,

    Lee

  • Hi, i can’t upload files to my synology server. The directory is in the root “uploads”. The error is: the directory does not exist. What should I write in upload path ?
    not work ../uploads
    Thanks

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Sorted that one out now too, so please don’t worry about replying to my last two posts.

    Thanks for the plug in.

    Kind Regards,

    Lee

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I have managed to get your plugin to work just fine.

    I have one thing I have not been able to edit and wonder if there is a way it can be done??

    I have plugin settings set to: Allow No File = Yes, as I collect data from fields and a photo if the user wants to upload one.

    I have managed to edit the message the user sees when a photo is attached as it is a setting under Labels – Uploaded Messages. (my message: Register & ID Received)

    When no file is attached your plugin works fine and collects the user data for me.

    What I would like to do is to edit the message that is displayed when no file is sent. The current message is: Data submitted successfully!

    I would like it to be something like: Register Received.

    Any way you can help with this, or point me in the right direction. I have searched your Technical Articles but …

    Many Thanks,

    Lee

  • Is there a way to enable all file types with the plugin?

    I need my customers to be able to upload files from screenwriting software. I’ve allowed all file types in the wp-config file, and that’s working and I can upload screenwriting docs to my media. But if I try to upload them through the plugin, they fail as ‘file type not allowed’ – so it seems to be the plugin, and not WordPress, that is blocking them.

    1. Hi, the plugin does not allow all file types to be uploaded. This might impose severe security risks to your website. However you can define a list of allowable file extensions (a whitelist). Do you know what file types are expected by your customers?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Because I am not able to send files with the .rar extension, among others, it says that it isn’t allowed. In the allowed extensions section is written *. *

    1. Hi, pattern *.* allows most common file types, but not all (for security reasons). To include rar files just set Allowed File Extensions like this: *.*, *.rar

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Can it be used like the WooCommerce product addons plug-in? Besides the file upload feature, does it allow adding color, sizes and other options to product page?

    1. Hi, I do not understand what exactly you mean. You can all additional fields in the upload form, so that the user adds information along with the uploaded file.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. Yes, open the visual editor of the upload form, go to Interoperability tab and activate option “Add Uploaded Files to Media”.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Thank you so much for your response, but the images uploaded through the form are not showing on the media library within the dashboard. Is there a way to achieve this please? thank you

  • I want to buy yur plugin, I have played with the Free Version and Like it very much. The upload side works great but have an issue as follow:

    1. logged in users can upload fine to a pre designated folder – User Role is Subscriber, Works Perfectly.
    2. My issue comes with I need User roles of Author and above to be able to view certain folders that were created where the uploads have been placed. The y will need do download those files but it seems that only Administrators are able to see the uploaded files in the file lists.
    3. Is it possible to have file listing and allow downloads for those allowed roles without all the other plugin functions on the menu, eg a short code to view content of a specific directory with option to download and not have any of the plugin listing in their dashboard or menu?

    Thank you very much for a fantastic plugin. If you need more info as what it is we are doing please contact me asdap.

    1. Hi, the Pro version has a file viewer which can be added in any page or post (using a shortcode, like the upload form). The file viewer can be configured in may ways:

      – it can be visible only to certain users or roles
      – it can display only the files of the currently logged user, or filter files based on user, role, upload date, file extension, page and some more filters

      Here is a link of an article about the file viewers of the Pro version.

      Regards

  • Hi there,

    I saw dropbox, google drive uploads.

    Can this also save (vidoe files uploaded by instructors) directly to the youtube account> makes it “unlisted” in nature directy without saving the file in hosting server or killing its space? I am okay even if it is Pro version.

  • Got the Pro version so that i could do unlimited file size. still getting error message of file exceeding limit

  • You say that “Users can view, download or delete their uploaded files, either from the Dashboard, or from a page or post (Professional version).” , which is perfect for what we want!

    What dashboard are you referring to? Do you have any recommendations on how to set up a dashboard so that users can upload and download files from the dashboard? Do you have any examples?

    Thank you.

  • Hi Nickolas,
    A query related to redirect. I want to embed a video file uploaded by user in another page/post without passing parameters in the url. How to access the variable %filename% and %username% at places other than uploadpath field? I am a beginner and if you can suggest a way to use these variables, it would be a great help.

    Thanks for the amazing plugin

      1. Hi,
        I was planning to make an Ajax POST request with filename and username as parameters. (file size is another parameter)
        Once the user uploads a single file, a post request will happen and user will be redirected to a page where uploaded video will be shown.

  • Hello Nickolas,

    I purchased the Pro version a couple of days ago, it works great on a regular page, but when I try to add the shortcode to a variable product (Woocommerce), the shortcode shows on the frontend, but it doesn’t work.

  • Hello Nickolas, I hope you are doing great. I just wanted to ask if you had a chance to see my comment/question from July 29, 2020 at 12:31 am.
    Thanks,

    Daniel Silva

    1. Hi Daniel. I just saw it. Please simplify the shortcode first. Use the default [wordpress_file_upload] one. Does it work?

      Can I see the product page myself?

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hello Nickolas, thanks for your reply. I tried the basic shortcode, but dd not work either. You can see the product here:

        https://miami-printing.com/product/regular-business-cards/

        Only 1 variation has the upload for now. You need to select the first option for each drop-down:

      2. Hello Nickolas,
        I hope you are doing excellent.
        I just wanted to follow up about this.
        Thanks,

        Daniel

        1. Hi Daniel. I just checked the product page. I see that the plugin did not initialize correctly. Some scripts that were supposed to run when the product page loads did not.

          I suppose it has to do with how Woocommerce works.

          Can you please tell me how you added the plugin in the product page?

          Nickolas

          1. Hello Nickolas,
            I hope you are doing great.
            I just wanted to follow up about this.

  • Hi I have a question for support. Is there a better way to get in touch with support than to have to leave a comment here? Please let me know.

    If not, my questions are (regarding the pro version, which I have installed):
    1. How does an admin upload documents onto another user’s account?
    2. Is there a way to notify the user that I have uploaded documents to their account?
    3. Where is the information stored?

    Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

  • Hi Nickolas,
    I’ve been using your fabulous plugin on our website for several years to enable various town boards & committees can upload their minutes without my help. It stopped working a couple of weeks ago and I’m at a loss as to why. Now users select their file, click Upload, and nothing happens – the filename remains, and both the Select and Upload buttons go dim.

    Didn’t change my code, so I’m hoping you would have an idea of where the problem lies. Here’s a sample of my code:

    [wordpress_file_upload upload title=”Finance Committee Minutes” selectbutton=”Select” uploadbutton=”Upload” uploadpath=”uploads/fincom-minutes” uploadrole=”contributor” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”webmaster@middlefieldma.net” notifymessage=”Finance Committee minutes have been uploaded.” uploadpatterns=”*.pdf”]

    Thanks,
    Steve

    1. Hi, did you change anything else, e.g. your theme, or did you add any cache plugins?

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. No, that’s what has been driving me totally bonkers. The only thing updated AFAIK is WordPress, but nobody else seems to have this issue. Your plugin is awesome and elegant. Would update to pro (only in Euros?) if I could get it working again.

        Best,
        Steve

          1. Hi Nickolas,
            As I mentioned in my Aug 9 post, the plugin abruptly stopped working for no apparent reason. All of a sudden multiple town users could no longer upload their meeting minutes, senior center menus, etc. as they had been doing for several years. They would select their file, and then click Upload and nothing would happen. The filename would remain and both the Select and Upload buttons would go dim. This is an example of my code:
            [wordpress_file_upload upload title=”Finance Committee Minutes” selectbutton=”Select” uploadbutton=”Upload” uploadpath=”uploads/fincom-minutes” uploadrole=”contributor” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”webmaster@middlefieldma.net” notifymessage=”Finance Committee minutes have been uploaded.” uploadpatterns=”*.pdf”]

            Tried code variations and turned off various other prugins to no avail. Since no one else appears to have this issue I figured it might be our hosting service, but nothing changed there ASAIK and I can still login to manually upload files. Thanks.

  • Hello, you’ve mentioned before to look for .po files when addressing string translations. However, my installation contains only .mo files in the /languages directory. I’ve downloaded the Pro version, just for the record.

    1. Yes you are right. We removed the .po files in the last two releases to reduce the zip file. What language do you want?

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi Nikolas,

    Your plug-in has worked beautifully for us for a while. Suddenly without warning users can no longer upload .obj files and we no longer receive notifications. We did not make any changes. Please help! We are on pro version 4.11.2

    Additionally, is there a good resource on how to sync uploads to dropbox?

    Thanks,
    Evan

    1. Hi, I suppose I have given you a hook to remove obj extension from blacklist. Is it still there? Check Hooks page in plugin’s Dashboard area.

  • Hi Nikolas,

    I just purchased pro version. Can I make ppts to play automatically in list? or can i provide basic ppt functionality which google provides?

    1. Hi, the plugin cannot play ppts. I think that there are some plugins that can play Powerpoint presentations, however I am not sure how they can be integrated with the plugin.

      One idea is to store the uploaded files to your Google account using the plugin. You can also add a “Remote Link” column to the file viewer, so that when pressed it opens the Google file. Then you will be able to preview the file from Google.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello. I have purchased File Upload Pro. I also used the User Registration plug-in by Iptanus to create user registrations. In these user registration forms, I am using customer fields such as high_school_name, county_name etc. These fields do show up in the User section of WordPress after users register onto the site. Now, I want to use those fields in your plugin to create sub-folders. Say a student has username = “john_doe” and high_school_name = “washington” and county_name = “darrington”, I would like your plugin to automatically create and upload the files to a folder named “/wp-content/uploads/darrington/washington/john-doe”. i want to do this using the short code that your file upload form generates. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks for your help in advance.

      1. Hi Nickolas,

        We are using wp rocket for caching. Sould we disable the plugin and check weather the issue has been resolved or not?

          1. Yes, It started working. We disabled the wp rocket and the form started. Is there any way where we could use caching and the file upload works.

            Best,

      1. Hello Nickolas,

        We disabled the caching plugin and upload satared working. We are using wp rocket plugin for the cahcing. Could you please let us know how can we make it work with caching plugin.

        Best Regards,
        Akash

    1. Hi, you can try the Free version which has many of the functionalities of the Pro version. If you buy it and you are not satisfied, you can ask for refund.

      Regards

      Nickolas

    1. The Professional version has a file viewer in Dashboard for the users and a front-end file viewer which can be added in any page or post and can show the uploaded files to the users. They also have the option to download or delete their files.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi!

    Can’t sign in to Microsoft account to connect OneDrive (plugin settings: Microsoft OneDrive Settings —> “Press here” —> Login window, enter e-mail —> Error. This Microsoft account doesn’t exist. ) 

    Perhaps the problem is that corporate email is being used, but account exists, I can log in from the page https://www.microsoft.com/. How to connect a site to a Microsoft account in this case?

        1. Try the following: Go to Advanced tab, locate option Microsoft OneDrive REST End-Point and set it to Graph

          Then try to connect to OneDrive again.

  • Isnit possible to have uploded files and directories only visoble to admins? The idea isnto always have uploaded files private.

    1. Is it possible to have uploaded files and directories only visible to admins? The idea is to always uploaded files private. *

  • Hi
    I have installed the free version and so far I’m impressed with it, however I have an issue with the “Select Dir” in the “Select subfolder” option, the folders listed are greyed out and can’t be selected. When I go in to troubleshooting mode the selecting seems to work.

    1. Just did some more testing and when I change the “Plugin fit mode” to responsive then I can select the folders, if I change back to fixed then they can’t be selected

  • Hello:

    Im not able to use the plugin with DIvi builder. I activated the plugin but when I go to edit my page – it does not load. I deactivate the plugin and the page is fine.
    Please help!
    Thank you

    1. Hi, Page Builders follow their own proprietary way of storing and handling pages. For this reason, plugins like the upload plugin that need to change something inside a page cannot work.

      However the behavior you mention is unexpected. What happens if you create a new page and edit it with Divi builder while the upload plugin is active? Will it fail again?

      Nickolas

  • Hi, I have a site using Divi and your free version of WordPress File Upload. The three elements file, select, upload all appear and work correctly in Chrome but nothing appears in Firefox (or Edge). Inspection shows no code being generated in the latter two.

    Any ideas please.

  • Hey Nickolas!

    Your plugin is great, this is what i was looking for. But I would need your advise. Now, the file upload is working, but I’m not able to see the “file_browser”. I do not display anything, also on the page i cannot see the “empty” browser. In the editor it’s visible.

    Can you please advise me?

    Many thanks.

    This is the shortcode :

  • Hi, I have the Pro version which we have been happily using for 2+ years now.

    We are now rolling out file upload capability to some of our customers, and I, as admin, want to be able to see any errors that occur when customers try to upload files (file already exists, file not allowed, etc.)

    I can trap the “upload_result” from the additional_data passed to the wfu_after_upload_handler filter, but that just gives me “success” or “errorabort”. I need the specific error messages – where are they?

  • Hello Nikolas, i’m trying to create a form where users can send me text and optionally upload a picture, and I receive their submission in my email box.
    The problem is that if I check the “allow no file” option the notification email contains the text of the additional fields only when a file is actually attached, with no file all the other data is lost and the notification email just displays the %userdata% code and not the actual content.
    Is there a way to receive the data from the additional fields in the notification when no file is attached?

  • I have another question: is it possible to send email notifications when a file upload fails? (Pro Version 4.14.2, planning to upgrade over the Xmas break).

  • Greetings,

    i`m looking for an option to multiselect more as one option in dropdown or listbox … is this possible or should i go with checkboxes?

    Best Regards,
    Phil

  • Please how can uploaded files be attached to the pages?
    Also, if probably there are two users of a page, if one of them uploads a file, is there a way for the other user to view the uploaded file without having to go to dashboard?

    1. Hi, there is an option in the shortcode for attaching the uploaded files on the page. Open the visual editor of the upload form, go to Interoperability tab and activate option “Attach Uploaded Files to Post”. This will make the uploaded files added in the Media Library of your website and attached to the current post.

      Please note that the files will not be shown on the page, only attached to it. You need to use another tool (e.g. a gallery plugin) to show them on the page if you want to.

      Regarding the 2nd question, the Pro version of the plugin provides a file viewer for showing the uploaded files in any page or post. It is very flexible and can be configured to do what you ask.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. When I select the file to upload the field remains empty. Before the WordPress update it worked. No error messages are displayed.
        Thanks

  • Hi there,
    We had the free version running, but kept getting upload file size restrictions (even though the files were under 100Mb and the server has a 256Mb upload filesize limit). But smaller files uploaded ok.
    So we’ve purchased the pro version. However now whenever I select a file and click Upload Files it says “No result from remote server!”.
    Please help! I’ve sent you an email with the details.
    Thanks

  • Hi there! Quick question for you and hopefully you came across this before. Any emails that are sent out to yahoo, gmail, windows, mac, anything like that, the hyperlink works great for the download file.

    When I view the email in outlook, the link is not a hyperlink, but plain text. I looked up online and noticed a few people said when links aren’t turned into links in outlook, it’s because there wasn’t a carriage return after the url to turn it into a link. I don’t know if this is possible with this plugin? Right now the file url line looks like this.

    %fileurl%%n%

    I believe %n% means new line? Is there anyway for me to change that to be an actual carriage return? Or any other trick I could use? My client uses outlook 365 so they would like the link clickable in outlook as well. Thanks!

    1. Hi Dan, %n% will be converted by the plugin into a line feed (LF), not a carriage return (CR). You can try the following:

      Put the following hook in functions.php file of your theme:

      if (!function_exists('wfu_before_email_notification_handler')) {
      function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
      $changable_data["message"] = str_replace('%rn%', "\r\n", $changable_data["message"]);
      return $changable_data;
      }
      add_filter('wfu_before_email_notification', 'wfu_before_email_notification_handler', 10, 2);
      }

      Use variable %rn% instead of %n% after the file url, e.g. %fileurl%%rn%. This will generate a CRLF after the url. This might work in Outlook, otherwise there is another way.

      Nickolas

      1. Thank you very much for getting back to me! I placed the code in the functions file, and change the fileurl to have %rn% instead of %n%, and this is what is does in the email when sent.

        /uploaded-files/Test2(11).pdf%rn%

        Looks like the str_replace isn’t working.

          1. We actually have the pro version. I create a test page and stripped out most of the items in the shortcode and looks like still not replacing the rn with a carriage return. Here is a copy of that code. I stripped out the email name so people would not spam it 🙂

            Here is the code I put in the functions.php file.

            /* Allow file uploads using wordpress upload plugin to use a carriage return for creating hyperlinks in outlook/yahoo */

            if (!function_exists(‘wfu_before_email_notification_handler’)) {
            function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
            $changable_data[“message”] = str_replace(‘%rn%’, “\r\n”, $changable_data[“message”]);
            return $changable_data;
            }
            add_filter(‘wfu_before_email_notification’, ‘wfu_before_email_notification_handler’, 10, 2);
            }

            And here is test file upload shortcode.

            [wordpress_file_upload notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”XXXXX@outlook.com” notifyheaders=”Content-type: text/html” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n% This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.%n%%n%Best Regards%n%%n%%fileurl%%rn%”]

            And here is what the email looks like.

            Dear Recipient, This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded. Best Regards https://seaboardgraphics.com/wp-content/uploads/Test2.pdf%rn%

            Thank you so much for taking some of your valuable time to look at this. Much appreciated.

          2. Also notice even though the link is messed up with the %rn% at the end, the site did in fact still turn it into a hyperlink. Outlook/Yahoo won’t though. Just text, hmm.

    1. Hi, there isn’t. However, some time ago I had done an implementation of PGP encryption on the uploaded files.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, is it possible to constrain the availability of uploading a file after payment via PayPal or credit card of a user ? if yes how can I do ?

  • Dear Nickolas,

    I’m finding that uploaded files to Google Drive are taking a long time to show up in Google drive. Even if the file upload size is quite small it is taking a long time.

    Is there a setting I can change that would make this faster please?

    Many thanks.

      1. Hi,
        I’ve tried small files and larger files – I have the pro version and absolutely love it.

        I just wondered if I needed to add a cron job??

        Thank you for your help!

        1. No need, the plugin first uploads the files to the website and then it transfers them to Google Drive in the background using its own mechanism.

          If you are not expecting very large files (over 100MB), then try to deactivate option ModSecurity Restrictions in plugin’s Settings in Dashboard.

          Nickolas

          1. We often receive files of 2-3GB in size.

            I can see that files get added to /wp-content/uploads but it just seems to take a while for them then to be uploaded to GDrive.

            If there is nothing I can do to speed this process up, I will live with it.

            A few of my users that upload have complained about the time lag and just wondered if there was anything I can do to make it faster.??

            Thanks anyways. Hope you’re having a great day!
            Rich.

          2. Unfortunately not much. The only way is to leave File Transfers tab open. Let me explain.

            The plugin transfers the files from the website to Google Drive asynchronously, in the background. If files are big (2-3GB) it breaks them into pieces and sends them sequentially to the destination. This requires a queue mechanism. Unfortunately PHP does not have a reliable queue mechanism. By the time a piece is transferred, it may take time until the next one starts. If you leave Transfers tab open, you force the plugin to check the queue every 6 seconds, so it might expedite things.

            When you say that your users complained about the time lag, what do you mean? They uploaded a file and it took too much time to finish?

            Btw, have you activated ModSecurity Restrictions option? it is not recommended for such big files.

            Nickolas

  • Hi Nickolas,
    i purchased the Pro Version of the Plugin and really like it. The only problem is: I can’t upload files larger than ~150MB via FTP. Do you have any hints what could be the reason?
    Thanks!
    Gene

    1. Hi, yep it is not possible with the default setup. When using FTP uploads, the plugin is bound to the server limitations. In your case it is about 150MB. If you have access to php.ini file of your web server, this limit could be increased.

      In the past I had prepared a hook which I think it resolves this restriction. You can test it if you want. Please send me an email at nickboss@gmail.com

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hello @Nickolas!

    I just want to confirm that the ‘WordPress File Upload Plugin’ will work for the following conditions?

    1- User can upload file up to 350 MB – 450 MB in .zip or .rar format.
    2- The uploaded file then send to person through Email.
    3- The files store in categories and each category assign to different users

    Thanks

    1. Hi, hare are answers:

      1. the Pro version of the plugin can upload files of unlimited size
      2. You cannot attach files in an email larger than 25MB
      3. You can have the files uploaded in a different folder for each user.

      Regards

      Nickolas

      1. Hey @Nickolas!

        Thanks for getting back to me 🙂

        Is there any possibility that we link different Google drives for different users ?

        Thanks

  • Hi Nickolas.
    I am using the free version and am trying to get the uploaded files to go to a file in the wp-content/uploads direcoty called client-uploads. I have added uploads/client-uploads to the Upload Path but the files only appear in the media folder. I turned off that option in the Interoperability tab and now I get an error when trying to upload anything – it says (filename) not uploaded.
    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? All I want is for clients to be able to upload files and for them to be stored in the wp-content/uploads/client-uploads direcotory.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Update – I have now got it working in that it uploads files but I have no idea where they are being uploaded to – they are not in the media folder (that option is still switched off) and they are not in the file I created for them. I did a search on the FTP and got nothing. But I am getting the successful upload message.

  • #file not allowed
    #upload fail

    Hello!

    If you are facing problem in uploading files with specific extensions like .zip, .rar, ete then make sure your code looks like this.

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpatterns=”*.zip,*.rar,*.jpg” …..

    Regards

      1. Hi, *.* does not allow all extensions, but only the most common ones, for security reasons. To include dxf, dwg and stp just set Allowed File Extensions option in the shortcode like this:

        *.*, *.dxf, *.dwg, *.stp

  • Hi, I just got the pro version, I have a question, is there a way for guest users to see the File viewer list but disable the Download option? This means, to download they need to register first. Thanks!

    1. I suppose you have the download option enabled for logged users and you want to have it disabled for guests.

      One way to do it is to have two file viewers on the page. One will be visible to all users except guests, and the other will be visible only to guests (the file viewers can be configured to this). Then you can customize what features you want for guests and what for the other users.

      Regards

  • Does this work with the popular Avada theme? I don’t see any overall upload progress bar when I upload.

    Using Safari Version 14.0.3 (16610.4.3.1.7)
    and Firefox Nightly 89.0a1 (2021-04-12) (64-bit)

    I’m on a M1 silicon Mac so the browsers are very new. But I thought maybe it was just my theme breaking it

  • Hi,

    I am currently using the free version of this plugin. There seems to be some issue regarding the uploads from various platforms and browsers. The upload appears to work in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But using Microsoft Edge and other web browsers seems to display varying results. I think apple iphones are also not working with it too.

    Thanks

    1. Hi, no this is not supported. However you can upload files with the classic uploader of WordPress and then include them in the plugin.

      Regards

      Nickolas

  • Filter Files by User: What is the exact meaning for this option and how can i use for this option.

  • I cannot upload certain CAd files (dxf, dwg, stp) that WordPress does not typically allow. After using a plugin called “File Upload Types” I was able to add a dxg file by dropping it into the Media Gallery but still cannot upload the same file through your form.

    Any ideas??

  • Hi I’m using the pro version of the plugin. Recent upgrade to another plugin (CiviCRM) resulted in an identified issue – when your plugin is activated, CiviCRM produces a guzzlehttp/guzzle error indicating the versions don’t line up? I believe CiviCRM recently change their guzzlehttp/guzzle requirement to be >= 6.5 from <= 6.5, which seems to have created the issue. Are you able to upgrade the version of guzzlehttp/guzzle you are using to fix this issue, or tell me how to do it?

    1. Hi, next version of the plugin will have guzzlehttp/guzzle version 6.5.5. However, the plugin does not call Guzzle all the time, but only when it is needed. When do you get this error?

  • I must be missing something, or, I’m just the dumbest person on the planet. I just purchased the pro version because we have a bunch of video files we want to upload, but I can’t seem to get the pro version installed…

    The included installation steps are not very helpful…. I can’t get past the third 1st step, because there is no “Activate” option for the professional version in WP. Do you have a step by step video I could watch?

    == Installation ==

    1. First install the plugin by downloading the .zip file from https://www.iptanus.com and install it from the Plugins section of your Dashboard.

    1. Deactivate the Free version of the plugin from Plugins section of your Dashboard, if you have it installed and active.

    1. Activate the Professional version from Plugins section of your Dashboard.

  • I am trying to integrate the pro version file uploader with Paid Memberships Pro – I have a members level page for registration – after registering to be a member, this unlocks a submission page where I have your file uploader. So far OK,
    My question – I want the uploaded files to be listed on the members account page, where they can edit-replace-delete files. Possible?

    1. Hi, yes it might be possible however it requires integration with Memberships Pro. This will have an extra cost.

  • i tried the plugin.. after some adjustment i was able to incorporate it in my site. but due to some more settings i re install the plugin , after that type and colors buttons [ select file and upload file has been changed now it is just wite bars. thats why i am helpless to remove the plugin..
    whats was that?

  • How do you change the text of the uploader shortcode email notification? I have set the Default Email Notification State to true and am getting emails every time a file is uploaded, but the text of the email just says “Dear Recipient, This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.”

    I would like it to say the name of the file, who uploaded it and when.

    1. Hi, I suppose you changed the setting in Advanced tab in Dashboard right? The recommended way of configuring the upload form is using its visual editor. Open in and go to Notifications tab. In there you will find the setting for changing the email notification message.

  • Using the free version for quite some time and no problems. Yesterday I received complaints that after clicking Submit button, the fields gray out and nothing further happens, the system just hangs. I have tested and find the same problem using both Chrome browser and Edge. File size doesn’t matter, tried it with large and small files.
    This problem seems to be after the plugin was updated just a day ago.

  • Hi, How can I configure file upload to be mandatory?
    Is it possible to configure it to be mandatory to upload 3 files, for example?

    I have Pro Version

  • Okay, figured out how to add the email address field. I edited the “instance” we had created previously, it’s one of the “Additional Data Fields” allowed. Great program, thanks!

  • Hi there,

    we are using your plugin and everything works as intended. if somebody uploads something and the email gets sent, i wonder where can i change the sender address of the email? i know where to set the email recipients, but not the main send-address…

  • I installed this and am able to upload videos with no problem from my iphone, firefox browser and chrome. But someone else testing it on their iphone cannot upload – they can select a file but clicking upload just freeze the page and nothing happens, no status bar, no error message, nothing. Already checked iphone Safari>Camera is not set to deny website access… Any idea on why this isn’t working for them?

  • This product is working very well. I found that for my setup disabling the breeze theme, cache helped.
    Thanks for the Plugin

  • Since last plugin update, people have been getting inconsistent results trying to upload files with the plugin. Usually it just doesn’t work: after hitting “Upload File”, it just freezes, the upload bar indicator doesn’t move.

    Oddly, whenever I have the browser “Inspect” feature open, it works, otherwise it doesn’t. I’m trying to detect conflicts via the Console Inspect tab, but can’t, since it works when that’s open, so I’m having a hard time debugging the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Okay, oddly enough, once I set up the email notifications for the instance, it started working again. I had previously added the email field, required, for users when uploading. Apparently, this will cause problems unless the notification is also set up.

  • Hi Nickolas,
    I am trying to get your plugin to work but the options pop-up that is supposed to show up when clicking on that small button does not pop up. I tried three browser and disabled any blocking setting I found but can’t get to the options. In its’ current state the plugin isn’t working. I can select a file to upload but it seems the selection is immediately ‘forgotten’ so the upload button remains greyed out.
    When I am trying to save the plugin as a widget I get the error ” Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘hasOwnProperty’)”.

    Can you help me get the plugin to work or at least identify the problem? Are there known issues with Elementor? Cause that’s what I am using.

    Regards
    Daniel

  • I wanna add that I got some errors in the browser console stating

    “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘message’)

    Got the same for (reading ‘uploadform’), (reading ‘submit’), (reading ‘textbox’), and (reading ‘title’). As I am not a programmer I got no clue what this means and if it is of any help.

  • Hi Nickolas,

    I want to add an html content to the end of the email notification. I add the line Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 to additional headers, but each time I edit the page where is the plugin shortcode, the WP editor modify the shortcode and it become non functionnal.

    the code I want to add at the end of the email is like this:

    Where fileview.php is a file viewer I coded myself, it take the image in a specific location where WordPress-file-upload drop the file. and present a thumbnail in the email. This works well but if I edit the page problem occurs.

    Thank you for any help.

    Do you think that is possible to add the code using a hook or if is possible to protect it against the WordPress editor ?

  • Buongiorno.
    Ho installato la versione Pro del plugin. Vorrei impostare il caricamento dei file tramite ftp alla cartella del cliente, ma purtroppo non funziona.

    il sito come avviso restituisce “Upload failed!
    Target folder doesn’t exist.”

    Mentre il codice di errore che ci da FileZilla Manager:

    Comand CWD
    Response 501 Missing required argument

    Comand MKD
    Response 501 Missing required argument

    Eppure i campi del plugin sono tutti completati. È possibile ricevere assistenza?

  • Good morning.
    I have installed the Pro version of the plugin. I would like to set up uploading files via ftp to the client folder, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

    the site as a warning returns “Upload failed!
    Target folder doesn’t exist. ”

    While the error code that FileZilla Manager gives us:

    Comand CWD
    Response 501 Missing required argument

    Comand MKD
    Response 501 Missing required argument

    Yet the plugin fields are all completed. Is it possible to get assistance?

  • Hi, I have the Pro version, and I am trying to attach the URL of each file in the email notification.

    With a single file I can put URL_BASE/%filename%.

    but being multiple files I guess I will have to make a Hook, or in some way that I do not know.

    I intend that in the mail a list with the images will be shown.
    https://example.com/file1.jpg
    https://example.com/file2.jpg
    https://example.com/file3.jpg

    Could you help me?

  • Hi !
    I would love to buy the Plugin, but I tested the free Version and it wasn’t possible to upload file fomat .zip, or .html … these are really important for me.
    Which file format do you support? (i couldn’t find it in the description)
    Thanks a lot!

  • I am trying export the log of all uploaded files that users have uploaded using your File Upload plugin. But the Export data has very limited records. I can see them in the view log but I cannot export that data into a CSV. Hoe can I export the names of the files that have been uploaded using your plugin?

  • Is it possible to have a popup appear before submission? In our case, I’d like a disclaimer stating that the user confirms they have authorization to let us reproduce the images they upload (we’re a newspaper).

    Also, can there be two different email notifications? One that includes the attached files that comes to us, and one that only lists the names of the files (as a confirmation to the submitter).

    Thanks.

  • Hi, is it possible to integrate the query directly into the media upload? I don’t want to create an extra upload page, but I want to add a copyright query to every upload via the MediaUpload. Would that be possible?

  • Hi, I’m using the pro version and I keep getting errors when trying to upload a file on an iphone. It keeps giving the message “the uploaded file exceeds the file size limit”, but the file size is very small. I can upload the same file on chrome and edge for PC and chrome for Android.

  • Hello,

    thank you for this wonderful plugin.
    Could you please give an example or a hint how it is possible to sort users in the file browser by the count of uploaded files?

    I tried to manage how it is possible to get it work through some args to the query but the uploaded files aren’t saved as another post_type that could have been able to select throught the meta_query args and so on …

    Or maybe there is another possibility to have a grouped parent view of the file browser list by users. It would be then perfect to have a extra sortable column with a file count of an user.

    Thank you in advance for a short reply.

    Kind regards
    Wola

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Hope you are doing well. I have been using your WordPress File Upload since Sept 2020. I bought it on your website and installed it on my website. My website provides free complementary education to poor village students in India. We use your plugin for students to upload their submissions, and I would push their uploads to Google Drive using Google Transfer and for teachers to view the submissions. The plugin was working perfectly till Aug 22 2022. Since then around 1500 uploads by students have been stuck in my WordPress site (wp-content folder) with pending state for transfers to Google Drive. This has slowed down my website significantly to a point of not being usable. When I go to the settings for your Plugin on my dashboard and go to File Transfers, I can see all the files there but they are in pending state, and I don’t see the files on Google Drive. I have attached a screenshot of the pending state of transfers since Aug 22 2022. Your help is most appreciated. Do I have to repay your plugin or upgrade it? I am on WordPress 6.0.2.

  • Hi,

    Love the plugin. I have purchased the pro version. After uploading multiple photos I can’t bulk download the photos from the file browser. This is absolutely nessacary for us because its way too much work to download each file separately.

    How can I make this work?
    Thank you.

    Remy

  • I want to be able to upload one to 2 GB files to a folder on my WordPress site. Does this plug-in limit the size of the files, or do I have to change the Apple size code via my web server provider, GoDaddy, and their PHP area?

  • Hello, I have had much success with this application and works very well for my purpose. Recently I have had this problem just uploading a message ( no files) where i get this error “No result from remote server !”. I get this as an anonymous user. If i log into my wordpress site as admin, the application works fine. So, looks like some type of permission issue maybe ? I have version 4.17 of your application and PHP 8.1.11 with the most recent release of wordpress. I use OneDrive as the upload destination but this may be moot since it fails just with sending message. Captcha is off. On website http://www.anthony-dennis.com/file-upload/. Please advise

  • WordPress file upload unfortunately does not work with Divi theme. As soon as it is activated, Divi Builder unfortunately doesn’t work anymore. So I can’t use it unfortunately! For this 20$ are then also too much money. Please check and help. with kind regards Johannes

  • I just wanted to say something and let you know how much we appreciated browsing your blog. The ideas are amazing and have given me a different outlook. I’ll be adding your site to my own list and can’t wait to reading your upcoming articles. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and keep up the fantastic work!

  • Hi, Sir,
    there is an error message about before processing REST API, should invoke session_write_close() since session_start() was called.

    when disabled this upload plugin, this error message disappeared; re-enabled, and appeared again.
    so it might be the one causes this error.
    just report it and thanks for this great plugin and great helpful.

  • It works fine when I use my main domain.
    But I got error “No result from remote…” when I used plugin Domain Mapping with my subdomain.
    How to bypass this error?

  • hello ,
    the file upload works fine
    i would like to know how can i insert two input boxes name, lastname (what kind of short code do i need for that)
    thanks

    1. Good morning, no need to add a different shortcode. Open the visual editor of the upload form and go to Additional Fields tab. From there you can add additional fields on the upload form.

    1. Good morning, %filepath% contains the full path, including the filename, so you should not put %filename% afterwards.

  • I have the pro version and I don’t see any option to search through the files on the current page, for example what if you have 25 pages? how do you find specific files in those 25 pages? Am i missing something or a setting somewhere?

  • Hi, for some files I get the error “Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server. Please contact the administrator”. The file for which the error occurs is a pdf with 43kb. When being logged in as an admin, the upload succeeds, but when not logged in (so as a guest), the upload for the very same file fails with the error above.

    1. Good afternoon, are you using any cache plugin? I assume it might be due to caching, or a security module in your website is blocking the upload.

      What is the URL of the page? Can you send it at info@iptanus.com to try myself?

      Best Regards

      Nickolas

  • On the free version I can’t get the progress bar to show up and can’t change the width or color of anything. Using with Elementor Pro and FTP to bunny.net

    Also there seems to be a long pause after the file is uploaded. I can see on bunny.net that the file has been uploaded but it takes the plugin another minute or so to show success.

    https://puredcp.com/file-upload/

  • Hello, can you list the files uploaded by the user on a page? Can each user see their files? or are all files shown for any user?

    1. Good evening, yes the Professional version provides a file viewer that can show the list of file uploaded by the user. The file viewer has many filters and can be configured to display the files of all users, or just of specific ones.

      Best Regards

      Nickolas

  • Hi, I just bought the pro version and when I want to activate it, WP won’t do so because it creates a fatal error. I deactivated and uninstalled the free version already. What’s the problem?

  • I use WorldPress File Upload (professional) to upload to NextGen Galleries (free version) and it works nicely. I set the upload path to “gallery” and I can select a NextGen Gallery from a dropdown list of subfolders.
    But I can’t make it work with 10Web Photo Gallery (free version). I set the upload path to “uploads/photo-gallery” which is where the Photo Galleries are but they don’t show up in the dropdown list. Typing in the name of the Photo Gallery to the dropdown box doesn’t work either.
    Is the File Upload compatible with 10Web Photo Gallery?

    1. Good afternoon, I suppose that there is some integration required so that it works with 10Web Photo Gallery, so the plugin is not by default compatible with it.

      Best Regards

      Nickolas

  • I am trying to export the data using the “Export Uploaded File Data” but nothing happens, do you have any advice to get it working?

    1. Good afternoon, maybe something is blocking the download of the export file. Do you know if ModSecurity is installed on your web server?

      Best Regards

      Nickolas
