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 Nickolas
I have the latest Pro version of the plugin and I set up the file transfer to Google Drive a couple of weeks ago and it was working just fine.
Today I noticed that the file transfers to the google drive had stopped, in the File Transfer tab I could see a list of pending transfers and files that were ‘being transferred’ – but after hours, the transfers hadn’t occurred. I tried resetting the transfers in the maintenance tab and manually telling the files to transfer from the File Browser. The issue still persisted.
I then reset the Google Drive Uploads on the settings page, to deactivate it, thinking that I would then try reactivating the function. However, the ‘Press Here’ button to activate the uploads to Google Drive is no longer responsive.
I’ve tried deactivating and then reactivating the plug-in, however the problem persists.
Do you have any ideas? I’d really love to be able to set-up the Google Drive uploads again.
Regards
Hi, did you change anything in your website? theme, PHP or did you add any plugins?
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas,
Thanks for the repsonse.
I didn’t change the theme, PHP or add any new plugins. I would have only updated a few plug-ins with new versions. Do you think I need to go through a trial and error process with the installed plug-ins to see if there is a conflict with any of them?
Regards
If you can then it would be a good idea. Do you have access to the error log of your web server? If yes, do you see any errors there?
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas
Here is the latest error log, unfortunately my knowledge isn’t sufficient to interpret the errors.

Hi, Nickolas. I am test driving your plugin before buying the pro version. The page is https://dupuytrens.org/share-your-story/
It uploads files without a hitch.
There are two things which don’t work: the consent checkbox and wording doesn’t display; I receive no notification email.
here’s the shortcode. I’ve replaced my email with a dummy email address to show the formatting:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”useruploads/%userdata1%” fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”100″ createpath=”true” forcefilename=”true” subfoldertree=”auto” duplicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” placements=”userdata/consent/selectbutton/filename/uploadbutton/progressbar/message” uploadtitle=”Upload Images and Videos” selectbutton=”3. Click me to select video or image file to upload” uploadbutton=”4. Click me to upload the selected media file” requiredlabel=”” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”xxx@xxx.xxx” notifysubject=”Media File Upload Notification” notifymessage=”A new file has been uploaded:%n%%userdata1%” askconsent=”true” personaldatatypes=”userdata and files” consentquestion=”I agree to let the Dupuytren Research Group keep my personal data. Images and video may be used by Dupuytren Research Group for awareness and outreach programs. My contact information will not be released to third parties without my prior written consent.” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”1. Your words:|t:multitext|s:left|r:1|p:inline/2. Your email:|t:email|s:left|r:1|a:0|v:1|p:right|d:|g:0″ webcam=”true” audiocapture=”true”]
You need to activate Personal Data from plugin’s Settings in Dashboard. Have you done that?
Regards
Nickolas
Followup –
The consent display is intermittent; maybe cache-related. I think it’s OK. But – I still receive no notification email. Thoughts? Thanks!
Check if it went to Spam. If not, you can try to install and configure an SMTP plugin, like WP Easy SMTP.
Regards
Nickolas
Yes, I have. Here are the settings:
========
General Personal Data Options
Ask for Consent ON
Personal Data Types userdata and files
Consent Appearance
Consent Format checkbox
Checkbox Preselected OFF
Consent Question for Checkbox
I agree to let the Dupuytren Research Group keep my personal data. Images and video may be used by Dupuytren Research Group for awareness and outreach programs. My contact information will not be released to third parties without my prior written consent.
Consent Disclaimer Link
Images and video may be used by Dupuytren Research Group for awareness and outreach programs. My contact information will not be released to third parties without my prior written consent.
========
The checkbox did appear earlier in my testing, but I’ve spent a couple of hours since trying to tweak the settings; wouldn’t display properly until I set the plugin css to inherit the site’s style.
Any other thoughts? Thanks!
