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.

I am on pro version and i have only 1 question. How can i make uploaded image not visible for public. I auto upload every copy of image to GoogleDrive and i need to keep uploaded images private in server like 403. Thank you
Hi, what is the upload path?

Hi, Nickolas.
I’d started to try light version today and placed shortcode at checkout page, like this:
[woocommerce_checkout]
Envie o seu arquivo
[wordpress_file_upload]
But WordPress File Upload fields still figure at Thankyou (order-received) page. Is there any way to omit it after checkout? Or, by the way, show it only at Thankyou page?
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Leandro
Hi Leandro, probably what you want to do requires some more advanced customization of Woocommerce. Yo need to customize the checkout templates of Woocommerce (requires some knowledge of PHP) and put the upload plugin there, or by implementing one of Woocommerce’s filters.
Do you know how to do that?

Nickolas
Hello there,
I’ve purchased the pro version of the plugin and I have a few questions, as I couldn’t find answers in the documentation:
1) Is it possible to sort the uploaded files in the File Viewer in a descending order, starting by the most recent upload date at the top? I’ve seen that columns can be set to sortable in the File VIewer options, but still I can’t make sure that by default files show in the specific order from the most recent upload at the top to the oldest one at the bottom. Is there a way to do it?
2) Is it possible to upload links as an alternative to files? I’ve seen that, by adding “Link” in the displayed columns, documents can be turned into links, but what I would need is the direct upload of already existing links by the users. Is there a way to do it?
3) Can uploaded files be approved or rejected by admins before showing up in the File Viewer?
4) I know this is very unlikely, but I’m asking anyway: is there any functionality or way that allows user reviews (i.e. from 1 to 5 stars) on the uploaded documents?
Thanks in advance,
Riccardo
Hi, here are answers:
1) can be done. Send me an email at nickboss@iptanus.com to give you instructions (cannot do it in comments, code is stripped).
2) no upload of URLs is not supported. There is a tweak to make it work, but it is not perfect. I will get back to you on this.
3) File moderation is not supported. However if it is just a matter of showing or not in the file viewer, there might be a solution using the plugin’s hooks.
4) No, however you could add a Radio Button user field with items 1,2,3,4,5 so that the user selects a rating.
Regards
Nickolas
Hi,
I’ve sent you an email as you suggested, but I reply also here below, just in case:
1) We’ve found a way to do this, if we need other information we’ll let you know, thanks!
2) What’s the tweak to allow the URLs upload?
3) What’s the plugin’s hook to show or not the file in the File Viewer? How can this be moderated by admins?
4) How do we use the radio button in the file viewer to let the user rate each file? Will this show the overall results to the other users?
Thanks a lot,
Riccardo
