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 bought the pro version and I have a question.
Is there a way to organize the received files in the same submission? For example I created a user field with to enter a name. When I go to see the results on the page I get duplicated for each file even the user field with the name. The ideal would be that on the column of the user filed “name” only one record and on the other columns many lines one for each file sent. In this way I would be able to better organize the documents. Is there any solution?
Do you respond to ANY questions?
sure doesn’t look like it.
I can’t get the plugin to work. And it is UGLY.
it let’s me browse to a file, but cannot hit submit. it’s greyed out.
Hi yes I respond usually within 24 hours. What is the URL of your page to have a look?
Regards
Nickolas
