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.

Hello,
I updated to Version 3.7.3 and I can’t change the message “upload in progress” and “please wait while redirecting”. How can I change these messages?
Hello,
Love your plugin, bought the pro version recently. Managed to configure it but wanted to check if the below is possible. Been trying to adjust these options but not succeeded so far.
1) Can custom directories be made required* ? I want users to have to specify the upload path before they’re allowed to upload. This is to avoid files in the root upload folder.
2) Can the upload path be displayed on the media viewer (front-end). Or organized via path? Just to avoid a massive list of non sorted files. I would like a neat way to display these.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Melissa
Also can’t get the filter by extension to work for multiple extensions. Tried so many different variations with the comma and *’s. It is just refusing to allow it.
I know you provide the format with you hover on the little ‘?’ but this just does not seem to be working for me.
Hi Melissa
Please switch to email so that I can assist you easier.
Let’s go one-by-one.
1. Required sub-directories. Well if you do not select a subdirectory then it cannot continue. The directory dropdown list turns red. Isn’t this what you want?
2. Good question. However it is not implemented. There is a tweak that can be made. Do you mind if the selected directory is a separate column of the Media viewer?
3. Here is how it works: “*.doc, *.pdf, *.png”
Best Regards

Hello,
I have just purchased your Pro plugin and was wondering if you could help me.
We are designing a website for a local bowls club, and we would like the members to be able to upload their own photos to the relevent photo albums (eg: http://desboroughodb.psittacus.systems/photo-galleries/club-photos/).
Is this possible? Currently the plugin is setup on http://desboroughodb.psittacus.systems/public-upload-test/ and uploads go through to the media folder, but would be preferable to have a separate uploader for each album.
Also, I’ve been looking at CSS all day to remove the grey and black border from the Captcha and can’t find it anywhere. You wouldn’t happen to know where this is would you?
Thank you in advance!
Kind Regards,
James
You can add a subfolder selection list in the uploader, so that the user selects where to upload the file. Then, photos will be saved to different folders (however in this case they will not be added to Media).
Regarding the CSS, I checked the page, for some reason it cannot be done by adding css code, so here is another solution using javascript. Just add the following code in the page contents below the shortcode:
<script type="text/javascript">wfu_addEventHandler(window, "load", tweak_captcha);
function tweak_captcha() {
document.getElementById("captcha_1_frame").style.border = "none";
}
</script>
Thank you for the speedy reply Nickolas.
I have now setup subfolders and added the subfolder list to the uploader underneath the ‘filename’ box, but for some reason it isn’t showing on the page?
The javascript didn’t show up in your reply unfortunately but this isn’t too big a deal.
Thanks again.
I’m having similar problems but I want to change the width of the cptcha. The code is missing from your reply. Could you re-post the solution?
Hi, can you please send me the URL of the page with the plugin?
Nickolas
Here is the url: http://upload.securedatavault.com
Sorry, it’s upload.securedatavaultonline.com
Hi, maybe you mean something like this?
div#wordpress_file_upload_captcha_1 { height: 101px; }div#captcha_1 { scale: 1.32 1.32; top: 12px; }
