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.

Hi! Would it be possible to redirect users to the media attachment page that’s created once an image is uploaded to the Media Library?
When the upload form is embedded into /demopage/, and you upload a file named !!!mary-had-a-little-lamb.jpg, a child attachment is created as a new post (type “attachment”) and the slug is created from the file name by WordPress: /mary-had-a-little-lamb/ (no extension, cleared up special characters, etc). I’d like to auto-redirect to that slug /demopage/mary-had-a-little-lamb/.
Solved via a hack.
For those who need the same functionality:
1. I created a redirect page as decribed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1698797/create-wordpress-page-that-redirects-to-another-url
2. My redirect page code then finds the latest attachment ID and redirects to it like this:
$args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘post_status’ =>’any’, ‘post_parent’ => 17 );
$attachments = get_posts( $args );
$redirect_id = 0;
if ( $attachments ) {
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
$redirect_id = $attachment->ID;
}
}
$header = ‘Location: http://localhost:8888/?attachment_id=‘ . $redirect_id;
header($header);
exit();
Well, in my case it redirects to the last attachment of the page with ID=17, but you could put ‘post_parent’ => null to get the last attachment globally, or conduct your search with different options altogether. And of course, adjust the URL in the $header variable to your liking or get it programmatically too.
Hi,
I am working on a form and I have a couple user data fields present in my shortcode that are not present on the page or in the additional data fields UI. When I add them to the additional data fields section they are added to the shortcode but if I leave the page and come back they are gone. I have attempted to include my shortcode below. Not sure if it will work…
[wordpress_file_upload multiple=”false” uploadpath=”national-photo-contest/%pagetitle%” captcha=”true” createpath=”true” duplicatespolicy=”reject” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton/userdata/filelist/message/captcha/uploadbutton” uploadtitle=”Upload image” selectbutton=”Select Image/Select Images” uploadbutton=”Upload Image/Upload Images” successmessage=”Image %filename% uploaded successfully” warningmessage=”Image %filename% uploaded successfully but with warnings” errormessage=”Image %filename% not uploaded” waitmessage=”Image %filename% is being uploaded” widths=”plugin:60%, userdata:100%, userdata_label:100%, userdata_value:100%” heights=”plugin:100%” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Full Name|t:text|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:right|d:/Email Address|t:email|s:top|r:1|a:0|v:1|p:right|d:|g:0/Location where image was taken|t:text|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:top|d:/Description|t:multitext|s:top|r:1|p:top|d:/Facebook Username (Optional)|t:text|s:top|r:0|a:0|p:top|d:/Twitter Username (Optional)|t:text|s:top|r:0|a:0|p:top|d:/Instagram Username (Optional)|t:text|s:top|r:0|a:0|p:top|d:/Usage Rights|t:checkbox|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:top|d:|l:By uploading your photo you are giving Signs of God the right to use your image in any way that they deem necessary.

Thanks!
I should have added, here is the page where the form is rendered. http://www.signs-of-god.com/national-photo-contest/washington/
Thanks!
what if you remove the “(Optional)” word from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?
Hi Nickolas,
The “(” and “)” in the “(Optional)” piece of the title were breaking the shortcode. I removed that part and it is working as expected. Do you think I could use an escape character (\) to force the shortcode to ignore the parentheses?
Thanks,
Sean
Here is how you can put the (Optional) keywork next to the label: just put the following css code inside the Custom CSS tab of the visual editor of the plugin:
label#userdata_1_label_4:after, label#userdata_1_label_5:after, label#userdata_1_label_6:after {
content: ' (Optional)';
}
Nickolas
Hi, can you please send me the URL of the page to check?
Regards
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas,
Here is the URL.
http://www.signs-of-god.com/national-photo-contest/washington/
Thanks,
Sean
so now all fields are shown, right?
Upload failed!
File not allowed.
Failed upload path: //wp-content/uploads/wedding/test/Screen-Shot-2017-01-05-at-13.52.15.png
[wordpress_file_upload singlebutton=”true” uploadpath=”uploads/wedding/test/” fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”20″ createpath=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” subfoldertree=”auto” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true”]
I have set the directory to 777.
Is this a permissions problem?
Hi, no it is not a permission error but a security error. The plugin by default will not allow files having more than one dots (.) in the filename (they may contain double extensions which are suspicious). You can disable this additional security feature by going to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload / Advanced, locate option “Wildcard Asterisk Mode” and set it to ‘loose’.
Regards
Nickolas
I don’t have “Advanced” – is this only in the paid version?
Yes it is in Pro version. In Free version you have to put the following in your functions.php file:
if ( isset($GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE"]) ) $GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE"][3] = "loose";Nickolas
Thanks Nickolas. Great plugin BTW.
Think I’m going to “go Pro” anyway, just trying a couple more things out to make sure it satisfies all my requirements.
