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.

Hello,
After upgrade php to 7 and update the plugin to 4.0.1 we get the error Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server, we have not big files to upload, max 100kb and it worked before with those settings.
I read more questions about this here, but no anwsers? or im not looking good?
Im not can provide you with a link, because this site is behind a login.
Regards,
Marcel
Hi, the plugin’s latest version has been tested with PHP7. Maybe it is something not related to the plugin. Do you have access to the error log of your domain? I have sent you instructions to your email for enabling logging of uploads, in order to track errors.

Hi, great plugin, thank you.
However, I cannot get it to work. I am using Sela theme, on Chrome and Opera. Just the most basic shortcode i.e. [wordpress_file_upload]. Other shortcodes work fine.
This is what I get:
‘; return output; } /** * get the indices of the files shown in message block * * This function returns an array of the indices of the files already shown in * the message block. * * @return array the array of indices */ this._get_file_ids = function() { var message_table = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_1’); var next_block = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_subheader_1’).nextSibling; var prefix = ‘wfu_messageblock_1_’; var file_ids = []; while (next_block != null) { if (next_block.nodeType === 1 && next_block.id.substr(0, prefix.length) == prefix) file_ids.push(next_block.id.substr(next_block.id.lastIndexOf(“_”) + 1)); next_block = next_block.nextSibling; } return file_ids; } /** * shows or hides detailed information of the overall upload * * @return void */ this._headerdetails_toggle = function() { var item1 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_arrow_1’); var item2 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_arrow_1_up’); var item3 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_arrow_1_down’); var item4 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_subheader_1’); var item5 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_subheader_1_message’); var item6 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_subheader_1_adminmessage’); var item7 = document.getElementById(‘wfu_messageblock_header_1_state’); var file_ids = this._get_file_ids(); var show = (item2.style.display == “none”); if (show) { item2.style.display = “”; item3.style.display = “none”; if ( item5.style.display != “none” || item6.style.display != “none” ) item4.style.display = “”; item7.value = “”; for (var i = 0; i

Hi, where do you get this output?

Nickolas
Hi Nickolas,
Thanks for the quick response.
I get this output on the webpage, if I publish the page. I have not published the page because of the error.
Can you please publish the page and send me the link so that I can see myself?

Nickolas
Hi NIckolas,
I got the plugin working but I had to disable another plugin (WP Glossary).
What is the easiest way to include an “action=post_upload_script.py” in the form? I know there are filters and actions, but all I need is to point the “action” attribute of the form to a desired script. How to do this?
If you do this to the uploader’s form, then the upload will not work. You can do it with PHP by implementing wfu_after_upload filter and by calling your script. Do you know how to call your Python script from PHP?
