Getting Started with Iptanus File Upload Plugin

Iptanus File Upload — getting started

This guide shows how to install the Iptanus File Upload plugin and start using it. If the plugin is already installed, go straight to step 2.

Step 1 — installing the free version

  • Install it as you would any other plugin. Go to Dashboard → Plugins → Add New and type “Iptanus File Upload” in the search box. It appears as the first result. Press Install Now.
  • The Add Plugins screen with Iptanus File Upload as the first search result
  • When the installation finishes, press the Activate link.
  • You can also install from a .zip file instead, using the Upload Plugin option shown in the image above.

Step 1 — installing the Pro version

  • The Pro version is installed only from the .zip file you received when you bought the plugin. Go to Dashboard → Plugins → Add New and press the Upload Plugin button at the top of the screen, as shown in the image above.
  • Choose the file from your computer and press Install Now.
  • When the installation finishes, press the Activate link.

Step 2 — adding the plugin to a page or post

This step is the same for the free and the Pro version.

  • Go to Dashboard → Settings → Iptanus File Upload. At the bottom of the screen is the Plugin Instances table. Press Add Plugin Instance:
  • The Plugin Instances table with the Add Plugin Instance button
  • Choose the page or post from the dropdown and press OK.
  • The plugin now appears in the Plugin Instances table.

Then follow this guide to configure the plugin with its visual editor.

  1. Hola Nickolas,
    acabo de implementar la versión gratuita.
    Es posible ver desde el mismo frontend donde se hizo la carga, la lista de archivos que se han subido en esa carpeta y poder descargarlos desde ese mismo sitio?

    1. Hi Gregorio, I think you are referring to the plugin’s front-end file viewer, which is a feature of the Professional version of the plugin. You can get some more info about it in this article.

  2. hi
    i add a short code in a page
    how force user to upload only mp3 and mp4 files
    i need to get the uploaded file url progmaticaly and use it with hooks
    is it possible to produce error if the same file name exists?

    1. There is an Allowed File Extensions option in the visual editor of the upload form, to restrict the allowed file types. Use *.mp3, *.mp4 in your case.

      There is also option File Duplicates Policy. If you set it to reject, the uploaded file will be rejected if another one with the same filename already exists.

      You can get the file url programmatically using wfu_after_upload filter. For instructions check this page.

      Regards

      Nickolas
