Hello,
Currently the functionality uploads files to store the file in the wordpress repository/database. Is it possible to bypass the same and instead have the attached/uploaded file directly sent to the dashboard admin email(consider already configured)?
Thanks,
Hi, in order to send an attachment file to the admin email, the file needs to be stored in the website first. So, I do not think it is possible. Of course, you can have the file deleted after the email is sent, however it is not a reliable solution.

Hi – I’m running into an issue since the latest WordPress update hit. When I try to update the ‘allowed file extensions’ field, or the anything in ‘additional fields,’ the shortcode won’t update or give me the option to save changes. The only thing I can change is anything with a toggle switch.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Hi, when I upload a file with an allowed filetype I always geht the error message “Hochladen fehlgeschlagen! Dateiformat nicht erlaubt”, upload failed! datatyp not allowed.
The following shrtcode was generated:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/intern” uploadpatterns=”*.png; *.jpg; *.docx; *.xlsx; *.pptx; *.pdf” maxsize=”5″ notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”info@lampe-fieber-deitingen.ch” attachfile=”true”]
I need your help, thanks in advance.

Good afternoon, instead of semicolon (;) please use comma (,) to separate the extensions in uploadpatterns.
