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.

Purchased Pro Version. Getting the following error when trying to install plugin:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 2555
Please advise.
Hi, can you please upgrade your PHP version to 5.6 or higher?

Web server is running PHP 5.6.30
After activating plugin, I get the following error that brings down the entire site. The only way for me to get the site back is to rename the “wordpress-file-upload-pro” directory. The plugin is not working.
Please advise.
“Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”
Server log says:
PHP Warning: session_start(): open(/var/php_sessions/sess_53460c488785d8e8060504eec090b942, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /***/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload-pro/wordpress_file_upload.php on line 2
PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_53460c488785d8e8060504eec090b942, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files).
For reasons outside of this conversation, I can’t upgrade atm to PHP 7, need to stay at PHP 5.6.30. I *temporarily* went to PHP 7, activated the plugin and it activated this time, and *seems* to work now that I set PHP back to 5.6.30. The only error I’m now getting is in the WP control panel it is saying “Iptanus Services Server is unreachable. This may cause problems in some plugin functions. Please contact info@iptanus.com for details.” Is this a big issue?
Hi, no this is not a bug. Please read this article for resolving this problem.

Hello, it is said that if you check the certain checkbox – uploaded files should be added to Media Library. It does not work for me. I have added the metadata line in the code, so I can see the files, but I cannot see the additional user data!
Can you help me?
Thank you!
Sorry, I am sleeping already.. 😀
I mean checking the checkbox should make the additional user data seen alongside the uploaded file in the Media Library.. I don’t see the data there.
Can you help me with that issue?
Thank you!
Hi, I answered to your email with a screenshot.
Nickolas
I haven’t received the e-mail.. I checked all the folders. 🙁
Hi, I sent it again right now.
