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.

The free version does not expire and is not a trial. Pro adds nineteen features. The full comparison and the price are on one page.
Before purchasing the Pro version of this plugin I installed the free version to see how well it worked.
I got these errors:

Can you help to sort this out? I would like to sort this out before purchasing the Pro Version.
please send me the files of the plugin…. it seems that there is a problem with white space characters at the end of some of these files….
Hi, I sent the files on June 1st as requested.

I teach an html fundamentals class and want to be able to have the students upload all their files so that it does not interact with wordpress’ existing css and images, etc… in other words, a clear upload into an empty directory that does not refer to any other directory, i need them to learn basic ftp. How do i configure this program so i can do that?
The students will upload the files from a WordPress webpage that the plugin will be installed? If yes, then you can set the plugin to upload the files in any directory, so that the students can access it using http://FTP…. can you give me more details?
Will the students upload the files using the plugin? If yes, then the plugin can be configured to upload the files to any directory…. so that the students can then access through http://FTP…. can you give me some more details?
Hi there,
I recently purchased your plugin and I’m struggling to see the same value that others boast about in previous comments. I have 3 major concerns/issues that I need help or would like to be addressed:
1. Is there any way to modify a shortcode using the shortcode editor after you’ve left the editor and come back? Say for instance I have a fairly long shortcode that I need to make a few changes to but would prefer to use the editor to do so instead of manually to minimize mistakes. Will there be some type of “profile” feature soon to save various versions of shortcodes then be able to load and modify them later? I find that pretty necessary in my development efforts.
2. Why are all file links relative to the server and not the web address? I’ve modified the base url a number of different ways and it still simply prepends this to the server url. This makes the “Add to Media Library” feature fairly useless because all the links are unusable since they reference http://mywebsite//myserver/uploads… etc. and I need that feature in particular to accomplish what I was looking to accomplish with my site.
3. Is there any way to fully reset the fields of the editor to blank or default fields? Ever since I made my first shortcode, which went over smoothly, when I come back to the editor, it is full of “random” data in all of the fields that I can’t seem to get rid short of going to each field one by one and deleting them… Only for it to be refilled the moment I change another field or refresh the page. Example:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”%username%” uploadrole=”administrator,client” uploadpatterns=”*.pdf,*.xls,*.xlsx,*.doc,*.docx,*.odt,*.rtf,*.txt” chunk=”true” placements=”filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/filelist/message/progressbar” uploadtitle=”Upload Documents” selectbutton=”Select Document/Select Documents” uploadbutton=”Upload Document/Upload Documents” successmessage=”” warningmessage=”” errormessage=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client0″ waitmessage=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client1″ notifyrecipients=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client3″ notifymessage=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client4″ attachfile=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client5″ widths=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client6″ heights=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client7″ medialink=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client8″ postlink=”administrator,editor,author,contributor,subscriber,client9″]
The only major thing modified about my site relative to this plugin is that I have a few extra user roles, such as “client”.
If these things could be addressed, that would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, a mildly frustrated developer.
Hi Paulana
1. A feature to compose and store shortcode states in on its way
2. We did not included this initially for security reasons, however it is a reasonable request. For the moment, what you can do is construct the url of the file by yourself by using only the filename and prepending the url of the dir where the files are saved. An additional variable that will do so automatically is also on its way.
3. random data means that there is a bug… we will have to check this… a shortcode composer reset function is also on its way….
Thanks for this valuable info…. we will try to resolve these problems as soon as possible….
Best regards
