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.
- 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:
- 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.

I’m using the free version.
How do I include a field for first and last name and email to go along with the submission so we know where the upload it is coming from?
Hi, please use the visual editor of the plugin to edit the shortcode and go to Additional Fields tab. There you will find the options for adding user fields. It is pretty straightforward for it works. If you need further instructions, you can find it here.

Nikolas, hi.
I’ve downloaded the pro version of the uploader, but can’t get it working on my site: the select button is not showing, and the drug&drop function is not working as well.
here is the page: https://www.albomizator.com/wp-file-upload-test/
Could you advise?
Thanks,
Konstantin.
Hi, I opened the page but I cannot see the upload form. Can you activate it for guests as well?

Hallo,
I have purchased PRO version, and have a installation problem. After activation I get following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in E:\WP\www\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-file-upload-pro\extensions\wfu_facebook\wfu_facebook_functions.php on line 104
I use WordPress 4.9.6,
I have tried free version (the same – 4.10.3) and it worked perfectly. The only reason for PRO version for me is batch upload and rag-and-drop.
What shoul I do?
Thanks for any hint
Petr
What PHP version do you have?
