Iptanus File Upload
Front-end file uploads for WordPress
Let visitors upload files from any page, post or sidebar widget — into your Media library, or straight to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3 or an FTP server.
What it does
A form on any page
One shortcode, or a Gutenberg block. Add your own fields, filter by size, extension or user role, and run several forms in the same post.
Files go where you need
The Media library, a NextGEN gallery, an FTP server or a cloud account. Large files upload in chunks, past the server’s own limit.
You see what arrives
A file browser and activity log in the dashboard, email notifications on upload, and a viewer your logged-in users can see too.

Free and Pro

Your plugin doesn’t function correctly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different. Namely, it doesn’t find any of the images that it is supposed to use. Also, the email feature is not sending any emails, though it doesn’t report any errors.
Thanks for this valuable info…. I will check this out and release a new version if necessary…
Do you have an update for this issue? Was that actually a bug? Is there a workaround? I’d like to purchase this, but it has to work with that scenario.
to which problem are you referring? sorry but comments have been mixed…
“Your plugin doesn’t function correctly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different.”
Same problem here. Plugin does not work with Wp-Skeleton + Roots that i always use to start websites, and which need a different address for site and home url.
Hi,
this problem has been resolved. Which version are you using?
Problem with Captcha.
Captcha is on but no image work.
Can you help us plz?
the error message:
An error occurred:
Input error: c: Invalid version number for captcha challenge token.
Hi, the problem wasn’t resolved yet. wordpress address is different from site address and , probably, is that reason i can’t upload any file. i tried really several options to upload a simple jpg file. nothing is working
. please can you find a solution?
thanks!

I have noticed an issue whilst testing the file upload on my site on my ipad. When I click on the upload button, it only gives me the option to upload a photo, however, I want my users to be able to upload a pdf, mp3 or word document. (file upload works fine on mac) and I have also set the allowed file extensions as: all
Can you have a look into this and try and fix this issue for iPad users?
Thanks
Is it possible to create a notification that gives me a multiple file path as a clickable link?
Same. Was this ever resolved?
Yes this is resolved a long time ago. What error do you get?

Hi Nickolas,
I’ve previously used your previous plugin, inline upload which worked well.
Looking at your Pro Version of this plugin, does it allow only the admins to upload files?
We don’t want anyone random just uploading files.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Martin, the plugin can be configured to allow only admins to upload files. This can also be done in Free version. You do not need the Pro version, if you want it only for this.
Regards
Nickolas
I need to use my theme’s css for Select and Upload buttons, how is this done?
For the moment you will have to override the plugin’s css styles manually by adding your css styles in theme’s custom css section by using the following selectors:
– for Select button input[type=”button”].file_input_button
– for Upload button input[type=”button”].file_input_submit
Please note that the plugin’s css rules are intentionally strict and override theme’s settings because of problems with some themes. However, following versions of the plugin will have a mechanism to relax the plugin’s css rules and use theme’s ones.
Regards
The select button is not position right. It underneath the upload button.

it the same problem he was having, can you help me fix it?
For anybody having this problem, edit this file at lines 7 and 121 –
/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/css/wordpress_file_upload_style.css
Change this line –
margin: 0;
to read –
margin: 10px 0 0 0;
Hello, I keep having this issue even if I changed the CSS exactly as you said.
I’m using the plugin editor to edit the CSS, and on the title there are brackets with the word (inactive). Could it be a problem related to the editor?
Maybe yes…. this happens to other plugins as well…. you can try to edit the file using an FTP client…
