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 purchased the pro version.I have added the short code twice for one of my product.when i try to upload myself…i can upload only for first shortcode and not for second one
Hi, yep, you need to put different uploadid in the forms. Set uploadid=”2″ in the second form and it will work.
Regards
Nickolas
Hi,
I’ve installed the latest version of the plugin and am running PHP 7.3 (the highest GoDaddy offers us). Our form lets you select your item for upload, or drag and drop it, but that field never populates. It’s as if nothing was ever selected. Also, the CAPTCHA either comes up blank, or, in No Account, with a broken graphic link (I did register CAPTCHA codes with Google).
I’ve turned off all plugins to look for conflicts. Still no dice.
Our previous version was 3.9.0a. You had done a custom fix for us four years ago. I don’t know if that’s related to our problem now, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
Hi, are you using any cache plugin?
Nickolas
Same problem here with reCatcha.
With “no account” selected it shows an error frontend.
And with account selected the reCatcha checkbox is not showing, and it is not possible to verify/submit the upload. I have no idea what broke it, so I’m hoping for a quick fix.
For the moment I have to leave it unprotected for it to work.
No caching plugin here.
Hi, what is your upload page to check? please restore the captcha back so that I can check (or put it in another page)
Regards
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas
It is located at https://kopibutikken.dk/site/upload/
I leave it with Captcha enabled with “no account” just as it was before the update.
Thank you.
Regards,
Michael
Hey Nickolas
The test URL has changed to https://kopibutikken.dk/site/upload-back/
I hope you’re able to troubleshoot your way thru this. Thanks again.
Hi Nicolas,
any development regarding the Captcha issue?
Kind regards,
Michael
Hi Michael, I made some changes recently regarding captcha, can you check?
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas, I’ve updated the plugin to the latest version.
It’s still very inconsistant on page loads. One out of three times its showing correctly, which means two out of three it’s giving me the “Whoops, looks like something…” message.
The good thing is, that it’s now showing the verification box correctly (not squeezed).
I have tried with a new instance, with only the most basic settings and its still inconsistant on page loads.
I have no further suggestions, but I’m having faith in you to find the solution.
Regards,
Michael
Hi Michael, are you still using RecaptchaV2 (no account) option? Can you change to RecaptchaV2?
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas,
when switching to V2 (with account) the checkbox isn’t showing at all. I have tried both instances with no luck.
Maybe next step is for you to view the config in my WordPress install?
My order no. is #7096, so maybe You could contact me in that regard?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Michael
Hello, I have the problem that the Select Botton is displayed shifted and the text is also cut off.
We do not use the pro version. Can you help me?

Add the following css in Custom CSS area of your theme:
form#uploadform_1 {
left: 0px;
}
Does it work?
Nickolas
Hi Nickolas,
i tested it, and it did not work 🙁
After checking the settings again, I found the error. I have not ticked the box ” Relax CSS Rules”. It works now. Thanks anyway for the support 🙂 Great Job!
Ok nice
Nickolas
