WordPress File Upload Plugin Is Back

WordPress File Upload is back in the wordpress.org listing, under a new name, after a suspension lasting more than six months.

From major version 5 onwards the plugin is called Iptanus File Upload. The change brings it into line with our own strategy and with WordPress’s naming policies.

Getting there meant a long audit by the wordpress.org reviewers, checking the plugin against every legal and security guideline they hold. That audit led to a complete overhaul of its code.

The audit covered the free version, but every change arising from it has been applied to the Professional version as well.

The work is our commitment in practice: continued support for the plugin, and continued adaptation to what security now demands.

Version 5.1.3 of the free version is available now from wordpress.org.

Version 5.1.3 of the Professional version follows in a few days, once the rebranding is finished here on the website and on the Iptanus plugin servers.

Please note that the plugin’s price and licensing terms will change over the coming months.

  1. Mr Shaun Lawson

    I have fixed it by deleting the instances and recreating a new. I can;t get it looking the same, but it works, so I’m happy. Thanks for helping. Great plugin. thank you.

  2. Hello,

    With the latest version of Iptanus File Upload Pro, after uploading a file of any size, I receive the following alert:

    The upload time limit of PHP directive max_input_time is preventing the upload of big files. PHP directive max_input_time limit is: -1 seconds. To increase the limit change the value of the directive from php.ini. If you don’t have access to php.ini, then add the following line to your .htaccess file: php_value max_input_time 500 (adjust the time according to your needs) The file .htaccess is found in your website root directory (where index.php is found). If your don’t have this file, then create it. If this does not work either, then contact your domain provider.

    Leaving this issue aside (which I will probably solve with my domain provider), I have noticed that I no longer receive the email notification at my address, even though the files are uploaded correctly.

    Is it possible to still receive the confirmation email even when this type of alert appears?

    It seems that the email is not being sent because there was a “problem” with the upload process.

    Thank you very much.

    1. Can you check in the plugin’s Dashboard area if the license of the plugin is Ok? This alert is not expected in the Pro version.

      Best Regards

      1. I confirm that the license is valid, but unfortunately, I can’t forward you the screenshot.

        The plugin is installed on a single website, and the issue did not occur before the update.

        I’m available for any further checks.

        Thank you very much.

          1. I tried performing the following steps:

            – Cleared the cache (using the official cache deletion plugin, which is the default for IONOS domains)
            – Deleted and recreated the instance, but I’m still experiencing the same issue.

            I look forward to your feedback.

            Thank you.
