Since version 4.12.2, released on 28 December 2019, the Iptanus File Upload plugin works properly inside the Elementor page builder.
Elementor is one of the most widely used WordPress page builders, with millions of active installations.
Why Elementor needed special handling
Elementor handles posts, pages and widgets in its own way. The contents of a page are not kept in the post_content property of the WP_Post object, but in a custom post meta field in a proprietary format.
That caused two problems for the Iptanus File Upload plugin. A plugin shortcode — an upload form or a file viewer — could only be added to an Elementor page by typing it in by hand, and the shortcode composer did not work there, so shortcodes had to be configured by hand as well.
What version 4.12.2 changed
With version 4.12.2 installed, the following work as they do on any other page:
- An uploader or file list instance can be added to an Elementor page from the plugin’s Main page in the Dashboard.
- Plugin shortcodes can be added by hand using the Shortcode element of the Elementor designer.
- Shortcodes that sit inside an Elementor page are listed on the plugin’s Main page like any other.
- Those shortcodes can be edited with the shortcode composer.
- The Iptanus File Upload Form Widget is switched off while Elementor is active, because Elementor supplies its own.

Can I use this pro plugin in an unlimited number of wordpress sites?
Yes as long as they are for your own use. If you intend to install the plugin in your clients’ websites, then you need to buy separate licenses.

Ciao,
avevo testato la versione free con il tema DIVI ed inserendo il codice funzionava. Ora ho acquistato la versione Professional ma facendo la stessa cosa non funziona più… dove sbaglio?

I’m pasting this shortcode:
[wordpress_file_upload_browser sortable=”false” pagination=”false” bulkactions=”false” browserrole=”administrator,oral_presenters,poster_presenters,plenary_presenters,spotlight_speakers,award_speakers” candownload=”true” candelete=”true” columns=”file:/File” rolefilter=”administrator,oral_presenters,poster_presenters,plenary_presenters,spotlight_speakers,award_speakers” postfilter=”current”]
To get just the files uploaded on a specific post. But it’s poping up all the files for that user on the post page.
This is the link where I am uploading the file for reference.
