The Iptanus File Upload plugin carries a visual editor called the Shortcode Composer. It lets you configure an upload form without writing shortcodes by hand — which matters, because the plugin has more than fifty options.
Once the plugin is installed and added to a page or post, as described in the getting started guide, there are two ways to open the composer for that upload form.
From the Dashboard
- Go to Dashboard → Settings → Iptanus File Upload.
- Find the Plugin Instances table, which lists the upload form you added:
- Click Plugin 1 to open the Shortcode Composer.
- The composer groups the options into tabs. Some are simply on or off; others take text, a choice from a list, a colour, and so on. The shortcode itself is shown at the top of the page and updates as you go:
- Press Update. Nothing is applied to the upload form until you do.
From the page or post
- Open the page or post holding the upload form in your browser.
- Hover over the form. A yellow pencil appears in its top-left corner:
- Click the pencil. The Shortcode Composer opens in a new tab or window — if nothing happens, allow pop-ups for the site in your browser.
- Make your changes and press Update. The page holding the form reloads to show them.
- Carry on editing, or close the composer.

Hi,
I’ve been trying to get the uploader to work on the following page:
http://savemyhsc.com.au/thanks-for-registering-webinar/
Initially I didn’t change any settings and the uploader seemed to be working but when I would search for the file I would be unable to find it in my media library.
Hi i have one question because yesterday i´ve been trying to put upload in my webpage but just upload the files but when i check again to see the files disappear i hope a answer
I am trying to test your WordPress File Upload plugin. If the free version works properly we will purchase the pro version because we need multiple file support.
The problem is that I can’t get it working. Our users have to fill in a form containing name, email address, phone number and other information. I keep getting an error:
no base email field in group!
I have no idea what that means. The shortcode is like this:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/incoming/%userdata2%” fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”80″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” placements=”title/userdata/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/subfolders/message” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%userdata2%” notifyheaders=”Cc:support@rstoeber.com” notifysubject=”Studio042 File Upload Notification” notifymessage=”Dear %userdata1%,%n%%n% This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded to Studio042.%n%%n%We will be in touch.%n%%n%Best Regards” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Name|t:text|s:left|r:1|a:0|p:inline|d:/Email|t:confirmemail|s:left|r:1|a:0|p:right|g:0/Phone|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:right|d:”]
Never mind. I figured it out myself. My own silly misunderstanding.
Hi, I cant get the plugin to show on my page. What could I be doing wrong?
What is the fix? I’m getting same error.
Which is the proper way to list file extensions for upload?
.png, .txt, .mp4, not working
