  • Your plugin doesn’t function correctly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different. Namely, it doesn’t find any of the images that it is supposed to use. Also, the email feature is not sending any emails, though it doesn’t report any errors.

      1. Do you have an update for this issue? Was that actually a bug? Is there a workaround? I’d like to purchase this, but it has to work with that scenario.

          1. “Your plugin doesn’t function correctly if “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are different.”

            Same problem here. Plugin does not work with Wp-Skeleton + Roots that i always use to start websites, and which need a different address for site and home url.

          4. the error message:

            An error occurred:
            Input error: c: Invalid version number for captcha challenge token.

          5. Hi, the problem wasn’t resolved yet. wordpress address is different from site address and , probably, is that reason i can’t upload any file. i tried really several options to upload a simple jpg file. nothing is working
            . please can you find a solution?

            thanks!

            Mario

    2. I have noticed an issue whilst testing the file upload on my site on my ipad. When I click on the upload button, it only gives me the option to upload a photo, however, I want my users to be able to upload a pdf, mp3 or word document. (file upload works fine on mac) and I have also set the allowed file extensions as: all

      Can you have a look into this and try and fix this issue for iPad users?

      Thanks

    5. Hi Nickolas,

      I’ve previously used your previous plugin, inline upload which worked well.

      Looking at your Pro Version of this plugin, does it allow only the admins to upload files?

      We don’t want anyone random just uploading files.

      Thanks 🙂

      Reply

      1. Hi Martin, the plugin can be configured to allow only admins to upload files. This can also be done in Free version. You do not need the Pro version, if you want it only for this.

        Regards

    1. For the moment you will have to override the plugin’s css styles manually by adding your css styles in theme’s custom css section by using the following selectors:

      – for Select button input[type=”button”].file_input_button
      – for Upload button input[type=”button”].file_input_submit

      Please note that the plugin’s css rules are intentionally strict and override theme’s settings because of problems with some themes. However, following versions of the plugin will have a mechanism to relax the plugin’s css rules and use theme’s ones.

    1. For anybody having this problem, edit this file at lines 7 and 121 –

      margin: 0;

      1. Hello, I keep having this issue even if I changed the CSS exactly as you said.

        I’m using the plugin editor to edit the CSS, and on the title there are brackets with the word (inactive). Could it be a problem related to the editor?

        Reply

  • I have WordPress File Upload installed and the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload] inserted on a page, but the textboxes/buttons are not visible.

    I also have your Inline Upload plugin installed, but I made it inactive.

    The site I wish to use this shortcode on is included.

    Any suggestions?

    Reply

      1. No, it’s still not there. I have [wordpress_file_upload] in the text editor window, but no form in the page when I’m in there as admin or as a regular user.

        Inline Upload is deactivated, and WordPress File Upload is active.

        any other settings I may be missing? any known conflicts with other plugins? I may revert back to Inline Upload & see if it’s still a problem, and let you know what I find.

        Reply

      2. Okay, so Inline Upload doesn’t appear to work either. I think it may be another plugin interfering with this one, or maybe my theme. It worked when I was developing the theme in WebMatrix…

        Reply

        1. So, I changed themes, and it didn’t fix the issue. I also deactivated all other plugins, and that didn’t fix it either. I was checking in Chrome Incognito mode, so it wouldn’t reuse any data when I refreshed the browser.

          Any other suggestions?

        2. Please download and try version 2.1.2 which has just been released…this version includes debug support for administrators…. let me know on results so that we can sort it out…

    1. Shortcode Composer currently does not allow to save settings. You can copy and paste the generated shortcode to the page you want to show the plugin… future versions (in a few days) will allow saving of the settings….

      thank you…

    1. Hi Derek,

      thanks for all this info…. we will have to go step by step to sort it out….

      1. first of all simplify your shortcode, remove email notification and userdata (just set notify=”false” and userdata=”false”), set createpath=”false” and also add adminmessages=”true”.
      2. try uploading a small file, less than 1Mb and see what happens.
      3. what browser are you working on? IE8? what if you try Chrome? does the problem persist?
      4. what is the URL of your website?

      I will also make some checks on IE8 and let you know…

      Regards

  • Holy awesome plugin! Just what I was looking for! Super easy to use, and needed it just in time for a project. I just bought the pro version. One featured I think would be awesome is the ability to import the file uploads to the media library.

    I am doing a custom post type and adding fields using advanced custom fields, using the image field, the only problem is the image field uses a media ID and not a URL, would be super rad to be able to assign the file uploaded to a media ID. Just a thought. I’ll go through your code and see if I can come up with anything.

    Thanks again!

    Reply

    1. Adding the uploaded files to Media is a feature that will be implemented in the next version (in a few days)…. any ideas on additional features are more than welcome…

      regards

      Reply

      1. Awesome! Can’t wait for this feature! I tried implementing it myself, and I got it to work, but had to refactor the $_FILES array, and it only worked for single files, but I am sure you’ll implement it quite well.

        One quick question. Is this supposed to work on ie6 and ie7? I thought it had a flash fallback, but it wasn’t working in ie6 for some strange reaason as it was saying something about prototype not found. Just checking.

    Reply

  • Hi. Love your plugin but I’m having a few issues which I hope you can help me with.

    Here is the code as your plugin generated it once I’d set everything up:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”administrator,customer” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg,*.png,*.pdf” maxsize=”350″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” adminmessages=”true” uploadtitle=”Upload files for DIY Product” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%useremail%,info@muggles.co.za” notifysubject=”File Upload Notification – %username%” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n%This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.%n%%n%Username: %username%%n%User Email: %useremail%%n%File Name: %filename%%n%User Data: %userdataXXX%%n%%n%Best Regards” attachfile=”true” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Text on Product/Font Required”]

    1. Notifications

    I need the notification email to be sent to me as the Administrator to my email address but it only sends it to the useremail.

    2. Additional Fields

    I need these fields to be included in the email that gets sent to me but the email that I (as the Customer) only states the following:

    “Dear Recipient,

    This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded.

    Username: Ainscow
    User Email: XXXXX@XXXXXXXXXXX.XX.XX
    File Name: red-christmas-tree-20131229035545.jpg
    User Data: %userdataXXX%

    Best Regards”

    3. File Path

    I have opted to NOT show the File Path, but after uploading the image, next to the Upload Successful message there is a small downward pointing triangle. When you click on it then it shows the File Path.

    How do I stop this from showing to anyone who uses the site?

    If you need any further information you are welcome to contact me. Thanks again for a wonderful plugin. These issues are probably just due to me being blonde (yes I can say that lol) and not having much coding knowledge.

    Looking forward to your response.

    1. PS: One other problem I am having is removing the uploaded files once I have finished with them. I logged in via my Control Panel and got the following error message when I tried to delete them:

      Please advise – Thanks

      Reply

    2. Hi Sara,

      here are the answers:

      1. Maybe a bug….. I will check….
      2. you should replace %userdataXXX% with %userdata1%, %userdata2% etc for each field. XXX is just a placeholder for 1, 2, 3 etc. So, %userdata1% will be replaced by the data that the user put in the first field (Text on Product) and so on…
      3. You see the triangle even as a Customer? The path details should only be visible to administrators. I will check.

      Thanks for this valuable info. I will let you know asap about results.

  • Hello there,

    First of all I must say this plugin is great and exactly what I’m looking for to help my business online.
    There’s only one issue I’m having which I hope you can help me with.

    I had chosen for files to be sent to my FTP and had entered my username/password credentials. I know this information is correct because it had successfully created a directory “uploads” folder in my personal FTP server. Though the file would not go through as it states, “Upload failed! Error occured while moving temporary file. Please contact administrator.”

    My assumption is that this is not a problem with the plugin but may have to do with the permissions within my web hosting. But I’m unsure as to which needs to be adjusted. My max upload size is 100MB but I have even tried testing with very small files and they were still unsuccessful.

    Here’s a copy of my shortcode for reference:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all” maxsize=”100″ createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”???:???@ftp.fotobox.ca” useftpdomain=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton/uploadbutton/subfolders/userdata/message/progressbar” uploadtitle=”FOTOBOX FTP Upload” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”info@fotobox.ca” widths=”title:300px, filename:200px, progressbar:600px, userdata:600px” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Name/Email/Order”]

    I hope you will be able to assist me with me this issue. I think your plugin is great and if this is able to work then I am very interested in upgrading to pro version to allow multiple files.

    Thank you

      1. No, it is not. It is an FTP server located at our store. My website is hosted by GoDaddy.

        However, I would like the files to be sent directly to my ftp server here.

  • Hi,
    I use your plugin to upload via ftp. My hoster supplies ftp account names only in the xxx@domain.com format.
    So my login crdentials look like test@domain.com:passwd@ftp.domain.com
    The plugin interprets the first @ as the part before the domain name so it can not login to the ftp server.
    Anyway you can solve this?

    Reply

    1. Use \@ and \: like this:

      test\@domain.com mailto\:test\@domain.com:passwd@ftp.domain.com

      please pay attention to the backslashes (\) before (@) and (:) symbols. The only (@) and (:) without backslashes should be those separating username, password and domain.

      please also pay attention to the spaces…

      let me know if there are problems….

    AuthName “Home Directory”
    AuthUserFile “/home/paul/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd”
    AuthType Basic
    require valid-user
    ——

    Folder Permission is 755 for wp-content, uploads and test (even tried 777 for the folders with no success).

    My ftp user account has access to the /home folder. I’ve tried using “../public_html/wp-content” in the upload path. I also just tried using “uploads/test” in the uploads path. Both give the exact same error.

    The plugin works fine in Normal Mode. I’m testing with 2MB files of various extensions. I can use 100% of the plugin options in Normal Mode and successfully upload with all of the possible combinations of setting. The need to use FTP stems from the small upload limit of my provider.

    I tried using Android smart phone, WinXP Pro with IE8 / Chrome / Firefox, and Win7 Pro with IE9 and they all give the exact same error above.

    I don’t have direct access to my FTP logs but the system shows me that there has been no account activity since I last logged in with my desktop FTP application. This may imply that the plugin isn’t logging in.

    I can successfully access my FTP site using IE8 and IE9 and the “paul:password@paul.fake.com” combination.

    I can’t think of what else to try and have resorted to trial and error to change settings to get this plugin to work (futile). I look forward to your reply.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    1. Hi,

      does your FTP username or password contain any (@) or (:) characters? Is the FTP domain you are using the same with the website domain?

      Just for your information, ftp mode of the plugin does not upload the files from your computer to the destination file using FTP (not allowed by the browser). It just moves the file that has been uploaded to the temp folder of your website (by the browser using AJAX or HTML Forms) to the final destination using FTP commands. It is used in cases where the file cannot be moved from temp dir to the final destination (using move_uploaded_file or copy PHP commands) because of folder permission restrictions (usually happening when the website is hosted in Windows server environment). This means that if your provider imposes file upload limitations they would probably not resolved using ftp mode. Nevertheless, you can try.

      Google Drive and Dropbox have resolved the “provider limitations” issue by using chunked uploads (cutting the file in small pieces in client side, upload them one-by-one and reconstructing the file in server side). You can find the same approach to the professional version of WordPress File Upload.

      Waiting for your feedback.

  • Hi Nikolas,

    I was able to install 2.1.3 but even using just the simplest shortcode, I am unable to upload anything.

    I tried a more complex shortcode at first and kept simplifying it until all I had left was [wordpress_file_upload].

    Regardless of the shortcode I keep getting the following error message whenever I try to upload a file:

    Upload failed! Unknown error.
    Failed upload path: testimage.jpg
    fileupload:Session failed!

    Session Data:
    Array ( )

    Post Data:
    Array ( [action] => wfu_ajax_action [params_index] => HzcenS3T362Z7xya [subdir_sel_index] => -1 [captcha_challenge] => _0 [chunk_data] => 0,0,0,0, [session_token] => 102696120452e414227a0ad8.59364065 [unique_id] => AUm5AcuBCZ )

    I was able to make this work when I had 2.1.2 installed.

    Thanks for the input.

  • I’m also having some trouble with ftp. When uploading, I get the following php error message: ftp_chmod(): Could not change perms on /wp-content/fileuploadsloads: No such file or directory in /server/path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_io.php on line 79

    Isn’t the path /wp-content/fileuploads totally wrong, as wp-content is only in the root of the webspace and not in the root of the file system? And as a path for ftp, this also seems to be wrong.

  • Have just installed this plugin and am trying it out.
    I don’t seen to get a progress bar, just the message ‘Upload in progress’ whilst the file is being uploaded. (See shortcode below.) Is this corect behaviour or am I missing something?

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/testing” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg, *.JPG, *.jpeg, *.JPEG” maxsize=”5″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”reject” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar”
    uploadtitle=”Upload files Test2″ ]

    Reply

    1. Please set testmode=”true” in the shortcode. This will put the plugin in test mode, so that you can see its elements. Let me know if you see the progress bar or not.

  • RE: Email Notifications

    Is it possible to insert variables from the “Additional Fields” section?

    The following is not working for Email Recipients:

    myemailaddresss@mydomain.com, %userdata1%

    As my form is in a general password protected page (not a specific user with a unique email address), I am asking the file uploader to provide their email address and name. Then I am trying to add their email address to the list of recipients so they get an email confirmation that their file was sent.

  • Hi, amazing plugin, so far it’s really easy to setup and has some amazing features compared with other plugin. gratz!

    I wanted to know if there is a way to store a file using the userdata value, lets say “email” as a folder (ex.:uploads/%userdata_email%).

    I need to do this for guest users that don’t have an account.

    1. Hi, no way yet…. userdata values cannot be used inside the uploadpath (didn’t have this kind of request so far)… however this seems to be a good way for users with no account, so I will put it in the next version in a few days from now… thanks for the feedback…

  • Thanks for providing the plugin. It comes really handy.

    However, I see several issues when using it:
    (1) File size: Files of up to 10mb are uploaded easily, but no bigger files. (currently the Showstopper for me)
    Resetting upload_max_filesize in php ini did not help.
    (2) All input boxes/buttons are too small be default.
    how can userdata input boxes be resized
    (3) Notify message texts are set, but default english ones are shown nonetheless.
    (4) Button “Select file” is not in line with “Send file” and file input box. Altering the css file, as decribed above, did not work.

    I did spent quite some time on it. When starting with it, I did not expect that much time one has to invest to get a quite simple version to work. I’ll probably try something else as well, as I don’t see how to overcome the described issues.

  • Is there a way to reset the shortcode composer? It doesn’t disappear/reset if I delete the plugin and reinstall the plugin. Where is the shortcode stored in wordpress when it’s updated?

    Why I’m asking is this: The shortcode in the shortcode composer is not updated when I change the Select Button Caption. (The shortcode is correctly updated when any other setting is changed.) Further, I have the letter “ä” in the Select Caption Button text, which has encoded/transformed to the symbol “�”, which furthermore now is _duplicated_ each time I open the Shortcode Composer. The more I try to get rid of all the “�” the more “�” is filling the Shortcode Composer text field. Kinda impossible to use… Help, please! Using the professional version, WP 3.8.1, Chrome.

    Reply

    1. the shortcode is stored as a WordPress option…. you can reset it if you have access to the database… do you know how to do that?

          I changed the upload folder to a random, non-existant, location, but it returns the same error, so the process doesn’t even get as far as checking the upload folder location.

    %username% is the username and corresponds to a location i have previously created in my server, exactly here:

    so the whole path for the testing user is:

      1. Yes, the directory is correct and can see it by ftp client. “Uploads” directory I created, and the subdirectory “slasze” created a plugin – variable “%username%”.

        It seems that it is not exercised direct the client to the ftp server, but the file is sent to the hosting with wordpress POST method and only with the server you are connecting with ftp.

        So does this plugin:
        My computer –> (POST method) –> WordPress hosting –> (??? method) –> ftp server

        So it probably should look like:
        My computer –> (tunnel created by plugin – FTP method) –> ftp server

    It seems that the plugin is only visible when i am logged in as admin. As soon as i log out, the file upload button on the page disappears. Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Reply

    1. Yes, this is the default behavior of the plugin. It allows upload of files only to admins. To allow other roles to upload files as well (so the plugin will be visible to them) set attribute uploadrole, e.g. uploadrole=”editor, author”. To allow everyone to upload files (even guests) set uploadrole=”all”….

  • Hello,

    I’m trying to use WP File Upload (pro) but i’m unable to upload a file. Even with a basic shortcode.

    Failed upload path: img.jpg
    fileupload:Session failed!

    Session Data:
    Array ( )

    Post Data:
    Array ( [action] => wfu_ajax_action [params_index] => F6QOqyj6FmXbxrxw [subdir_sel_index] => -1 [captcha_challenge] => _0 [chunk_data] => 0,0,0,0, [session_token] => 71553351753277a01a53405.38186980 [unique_id] => g2JoIToqt6 )

    I’m using WP 3.8.1 with the Divi Theme from Elegant Theme.
    On the same server but in another site with the same version of wordpress, the plugin works.

    Anyone can help me please ?

    Thanks

    1. Hi, I see that session array is empty. This usually happens because another plugin clears session variables (which should not happen). Can you please deactivate your other plugins and try again?

        – GA Google Analytics (but I install it after)
        – Google XML Sitemap (installed after too)
        – Shortcodes ultimate

  • This plugin will be great if I can get it straightened out…

    Small uploads work fine up to about 6-7MB. Once I get larger than that, transfers fail. I don’t get a status that it failed, the screen redraws, and it looks like I just loaded the page.

    Turning on debug and shutting off every plugin except for WPFU, and using the default 2014 theme on 3.8.1, I get these messages when debug is turned on:

    Notice: wp_enqueue_style was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or login_enqueue_scripts hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

    Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-file-upload/lib/wfu_blocks.php on line 53

    Here’s the shortcode:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/clients/%username%” uploadrole=”administrator” maxsize=”100″ createpath=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” chunk=”true” debugmode=”true”]

    I’ve tried several different options and they all produce the same results. I do have the Pro version.

    Any thoughts?

    Reply

    1. Please remove askforsubfolders attribute, although I do not think that this is the problem. The page should not reload itself. This is not caused by the plugin (or it shouldn’t normally) but it causes the upload script to be interrupted, so upload fails without any error. This means that another script reloads the page automatically after some time. This is probably why small files manage to get uploaded and large don’t.

      Is it possible to give me access to the page so that I can try myself and see what happens?

      1. Check your “info” email. You should have a UID/PW there that will give access. Once in you’ll be at a page that contains WPFU with the following settings:

        [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”uploads/clients/%username%” uploadrole=”wpc_client,wpc_client_staff” maxsize=”1000″ createpath=”true” chunk=”true” debugmode=”true”]

  • I’m using WordPress File Upload and can’t seem to find a way to make the userdata fields have a nice tabular format. The labels are all of different length and that staggers the data entry fields. Help please!

  • Hi.

    I purchased the pro version, and now I have a question about the captcha. Is it possible to choose the difficulty of the captcha? I’m asking this because the captcha is too hard to solve. Is there a way to choose a captcha more easy?

  • Great plugin, well done.
    One feature I would like to see is the ability to have the full download link sent to email. For larger files this would be easier on all concerned.

  • I keep getting target folder doesn’t exist but I have the createpath=”true” in my code. Also, how is this plugin handling authenticating the ftp user? I only see the secion ftpinfo=”%username%@xxxxx.com” What about the ftp user account password?
    Thanks, great plugin by the way.

      1. I have changed it many times since the post to try to resolve it on my own so please bear with me. Here are a couple of the attributes I have tried,
        uploadpath=”/ArcVault/%username%” and I’ve tried uploadpath=”XXX/ArcVault/%username%/” and I’ve tried changing the actual folder names on the server to lowercase as well so uploadpath=”arcvault/%username%”
        I am using the lastest version 2.3.1 of the plugin but I am not able to reset the shortcode composer to start over. Thank you for your help.

      2. I am getting the same error message. I am trying to upload to the root directory of my ftp server so I left the Upload Path blank. The plugin also isn’t reading the directory structure when I enable the “Select Subfolder->Auto-populate list” option. I know the credentials are correct because they work fine in Filezilla. Here is my shortcode:

        [wordpress_file_upload singlebutton=”true” uploadpath=”” maxsize=”1024″ createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”user:password@00.00.000.000:21″ useftpdomain=”true” ftppassivemode=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”auto” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/subfolders/userdata/message”]

        obviously I changed the ftpinfo in this post to dummy information but the actual information is correct and works in any ftp client software.

    3. Heather what was your solution, I’m having the same issue no matter how I configure the shortcode.

    1. Good point! No it is not implemented yet. A logging feature is under development, so that admin can view upload events with details (upload user, upload date and page). It will be accessible from the Dashboard….

      Reply

    2. Yes, it is possible. It requires two things. First, in the upload path, put “%username%”; I actually use “users/%username%” so that all the uploads go to a specific folder under the user name.

      Then, make sure to have the following in your notification email subject line.
      “%username% has uploaded a file.”

      I also have in the Email Body:
      “This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by %username% to %filepath%.”

      Then the message I got was:
      This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by Contribute to /home2/dollardy/public_html/idxcellent/wp-content/users/Contribute/3-biggest-mistakes-youre-making-with-your-wordpress-site-rev.1.1.pdf.

      It gives me the user name and the name of the actual file that was uploaded. That will work for users that are logged in, but could be confusing if you are allowing guests to upload files.

      I hope that helps,
      Mike

  • I am having trouble getting this plugin to work right. I am using the following short code:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”users/%username%” uploadrole=”administrator,subscriber” maxsize=”500″ createpath=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” redirect=”true” redirectlink=”http://idxcellent.dollardynamics.biz/upload-thanks” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”mike@dynamicwebshop.com” notifysubject=”%username% has uploaded a file.” notifymessage=”Dear Recipient,%n%%n% This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by %username% to %filepath%.%n%%n%Best Regards%n%”]

    It uploads the file, but does not send an email. I get emails if I add a user, etc., so I know that sending isn’t the problem. What am I missing?
    Thanks,

    1. What browser are you using? Can you please try using different browsers (Chrome and Firefox)?

      Sometimes this happens because a specific plugin is preventing emails being sent from other plugins? Are there any plugins, other than WordPress File Upload, that send emails? Can you disable them and try again?

      Let me on results…

      1. I was using Firefox V28, but I tried Chrome and it worked with Chrome. Not sure why Firefox won’t send with this plugin. It works with the native WordPress email send and there is not another plugin that sends email.

  • The other problem I am having is that it keeps overwriting the Email Subject and Email Body with %username% and the Upload Role.

    And one last question I have is how do I enable multiple file uploads? I do not see a place to set this to “True”. Maybe I was given the wrong link and got the light version instead of Pro?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    1. Can you please be more specific about the “The other problem I am having is that it keeps overwriting the Email Subject and Email Body with %username% and the Upload Role.”??? Can you give me an example?

      You can set multiple=”true” in the shortcode. It is also inside the Shortcode Composer of the Dashboard, in General Tab under section “Basic Functionalities”. If you don’t see it, then you probably have the free version!!! How did you download the plugin?

      Reply

      1. More on the other problem I am having about it overwriting the Email Subject and Email Body. I set it up with the following:

        The original contents of Email Subject was:
        %username% has uploaded a file.

        The original contents of Email Body was:
        Dear Recipient,
        This is an automatic delivery message to notify you that a new file has been uploaded by %username% to %filepath%.
        Best Regards

        After I go out of that tab, say to another page in the admin panel and then come back, I find that it has substituted the following:
        Email Subject:
        administrator,subscriber0

        Email Body:
        administrator,subscriber1

        As for the ability to set multiple file uploads, in my General tab under “Basic Functionalities”, I have the following three options:

        Plugin ID

        Single Button Operation

        Upload Path

        I downloaded the plugin from the link I got in my confirmation email. It had the following:

        WordPress File Upload Pro
        Download: wordpress-file-upload-2.3.1.zip

        I thought it was strange that the plugin wasn’t named Pro, but I recognized that it was different than the wp-file-upload-2.3.1.zip name that I downloaded as the free one. Did I get the right file?
        Thanks,

  • Hi there! I love your plugin, it’s light, simple and easy. Anyway, I have a question: how do I increase the distance between the lines? The boxes are vertically too close together. Thanks a lot for your time and help. 🙂

    Reply

    1. There is a height attribute that you can use (for syntax use the Shortcode Composer inside plugin’s Dashboard Settings). In case this does not solve your problem, then you will have to use custom css code. For the moment there is no custom css option in the plugin, so you will have to use your theme’s custom css section. The new version of the plugin will have a custom css attribute. If you don’t know how to use css, let me know so that I can help you.

I see the “Additional Fields” tools, but frankly, when I add these fields, they look terrible 🙁 The form element labels do not line up well, and the overall file upload experience is compromised. Ideas? Thanks!

  • I was frusterated with just about every version of this type of plugin I could find.

    Finally I just developed my own. But this one uploads the files to your wordpress temp folder then transfers that file to a FTP account that you configure in it. This way using Filezilla server or another FTP server software on your computer you can actually have someone upload files directly to your computer from your website.

    It even creates a folder based on the company name filled out in the form.

    I have been using it sucessfully for months and even sold a few dozen copies of it.

  • When I upload files, the filenames seem to be converted to lower case.
    How could I keep the filenames’ case sensitivity?

    TIA

    Reply

    1. Hi, currently the plugin converts all filenames to lowercase…

      there are two things you can do to change this:

      a. Use filters introduced in latest version 2.4.1 in order to keep the original filename. To do this, you have to do some php coding.
      b. Make a very slight change in one of the plugin’s php files in order to disable conversion to lowercase.

      I can provide more information about them if you want.

  • Nice plugin! Works fine, but is there a way to require a password (unique to each user) before a file can be uploaded? I could password protect the page, but that is a single password for all. Thanks!

    Reply

    1. Password protection seems like a good alternative to captcha and I will add it to the todo list of the plugin for future versions, however it requires a lot of implementation.

      By the way, why you need a password if the user is already logged in? Do you want to allow file uploads only to specific users? There may be plugins to allow access to posts/pages only for specific users. Nevertheless, I will also add to the todo list a feature to allow file uploads only to specific users.

  • (How) Does your plugin handle file replacement, where user needs to replace one file with another via simple upload? (Thanks in advance.)

    Reply

    1. By default the plugin will replace an existing file with the uploaded one having the same filename. There are additional options if someone does not want to replace the file and reject the upload, or rename the uploaded file according to a pattern so that the names are always different.

      Let me know if you need more info about this.

      Reply

      1. Is there a way to automatically rename files when they are uploaded? Ideally, I’d like to have users enter their name and company into fields on the upload page, and rename the file using that user info (Ex. UserCompany_UserName_2019.xlsx).

        Thanks!

          1. Thanks for responding!

            I have the free version.

            If you have instructions for adding fields for user’s name, email, etc. that would be most appreciated as well.

            Stuart

          2. Here is a link that provides a description of the additional user fields that can be added in the upload form.

            You can easily add them using the visual editor. They are in Additional Fields tab. It is pretty straightforward how it works.

            Regards

            Nickolas

          3. Thanks for linking me to the visual editor instructions – it was very straightforward.

  • Hi,

    is it possible to automatically rotate the uploaded images based on EXIF meta data? And is it possible to show a thumbnail preview of the images before upload?

    Thanks,
    Arne

    Reply

    1. You can process the contents of the file immediately after it has been uploaded using the wfu_after_file_upload action, described in the plugin’s documentation, so by implementing this action you can rotate an uploaded image, however you must write your own image processing php code.

      Thumbnail preview is not available for the moment. However there are similar requests from other users as well, so it will be included in a future version.

      Let me know if you need more info.

        I am not very firm in php coding, how can I call this function from wfu_after_file_upload? Can you help me? 🙂

        I bought your pro plugin a few days before (5th May), because the free stuff allows the users delete their uploaded files (and there is no way to turn this off). But the free plugins (like “work the flow file uploader”) can rotate images based on EXIF.

      2. Hey Nikolas
        Will it also be possible to include thumbnails in email-notifications, in order to have a small preview of the files that have been uploaded? I would be a great feature anyway 😉

        Regards Michael

        1. Hi, thumbnails do not work well in emails. There are some common methods of adding thumbnails in emails, however it is not certain that they will work. Are you the only receiver of email notifications? If yes, which email client do you use?

How do i configure this program so i can do that?

    1. 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?

  • 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.

    1. 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….

However the client noticed today that it is no longer working, giving an undefined error whenever trying to upload a file. According to them, there has been no change in the site.

  • I just try again this plugin after abandoned for months because it did not work …

  • Hello,

    I’m liking the plug-in so far, but I’m getting some errors that the upload has timed out for larger files. I read on this site that it could upload files of any size, regardless of the restrictions of the server, which is why I purchased it. Is there something I need to do on my end to increase the amount of time before it times out? I thought about editing the php.ini file, but it looks like this uses AJAX instead. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Hi,

    I am having the same issue as other seem to have, with the extensions. When i upload certain files, its always saying; file not allowed, but when i change my shortcode so the extension of the problematic file comes first, it works, but then other filetypes fail…?
    And no matter what i do the size of the progress bar never changes, its very small.

    Everything else is working!
    The first point, regarding the extensions is very annoying and almost making the plugin useless at this point 🙁

    My shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all” uploadpatterns=”*.zip, *.jpg, *.JPG, *.jpeg, *.JPEG, *.ZIP” maxsize=”100″ placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/message” selectbutton=”Kies Bestand” uploadbutton=”Upload Bestand” successmessage=”Bestand %filename% succesvol geüpload” warningmessage=”Bestand %filename% succesvol geüpload, let op er waren wat problemen.” errormessage=”Bestand %filename% is niet geüpload” waitmessage=”Moment, bestand %filename% wordt geüpload” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”someone@somesite.nl” notifysubject=”Er is een bestand geupload naar de site van voetbalstars” notifymessage=”Hoi User,%n%%n%Het volgende bestand; %filename% is geüpload naar somesite!%n%%n%Met vriendelijke groet,%n%Somesite.nl” widths=”progressbar:600″ heights=”progressbar:200″]

    1. The full url would be http://www.your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/file.mp3, however you cannot have access to the file like this from the browser for security reasons. For the moment the plugin does not have an option to expose files publicly like this. Only admins can download the uploaded files through the Dashboard. If you want to allow your users to download the files, then you can combine the plugin with a third-party plugin called WPFilebase.

      Let me know if you need more info about it….

      1. Hello Nickolas. Thank you for answering to my question 🙂

        Actually we are under one project which we currently build an application that required the full url to be access by the application.

        The application later will only view the file.mp3 by using the full url – http://www.your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/file.mp3

        Its means that user only can view the file.mp3, in order to view the file.mp3, the full url is required. The file only will be shown to the user, not the url.

        I don’t know if its still not save to exposes the url that can only be see by the admin.

        Do you think i can still can get the full url for the file uploaded?

        Thanks 🙂

  • hi, i have buy the pro version, but i have problem with the upload of big file, at the end of upload i receive this message:

    Errore! Impossibile caricare il file
    Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server. Please contact the administrator.
    The upload time limit of PHP directive max_input_time is preventing the upload of big files. PHP directive max_input_time limit is: -1 seconds. To increase the limit change the value of the directive from php.ini. If you don’t have access to php.ini, then add the following line to your .htaccess file: php_value max_input_time 500 (adjust the time according to your needs) The file .htaccess is found in your website root directory (where index.php is found). If your don’t have this file, then create it. If this does not work either, then contact your domain provider.

    I have ask to my provider and can’t change the php.ini
    Have try the .htaccess but is not working

    I’ve revised wfu_processfiles.php to allow for %userdataXXX% to be included in the redirect link since I needed to pass up an additional field with an upload (I’m just using single file). I then use ($_GET) at the redirect page to pull %fileame% and %userdataXXX%. This is a small but useful feature improvement you might want to include in your next release. Also note that your website documentation says %userdataXXX% commence at “0” but in fact your code is written so that indexes start at “1”.

  • Can your plugin work in the wordpress admin media library?

    We need the admins on a site we created to be able to upload video files larger then the filesize supported by their host.

    Your pro plugin says it support large file size uploads, by all the documents only discuss shortcodes for frontend uploads and don’t mention anything about admin/backend uploads.

    Thanks!

    Reply

    1. Unfortunately the plugin works only for the frontend pages. However if you put it in a page and add the medialink=”true” attribute in the shortcode, then anything you upload will be added to the Media library of the website. You can also allow only admins to upload files and only specific file types (e.g. videos). The Pro version supports very large files (has been tested for files over 1GB).

    1. Hi,

      this plugin has been tested exhaustively for more than two years in various WordPress configurations and seems to be working fine in most cases and environments. There is a detailed list of instructions, which covers all the options that this plugin has, however it may not be so straightforward for all users, for which I apologize. I strive to create more user-friendly instructions time by time.

      Nevertheless, perhaps your problem has to do with plugin configuration. Please send me your shortcode to check.

      Nickolas

      Reply

    1. Hi, after you install it in your WordPress website you need to put the shortcode [wordpress_file_upload] inside a page content (by using the page editor from your Dashboard). Then, the plugin will show up in that page when you load it.

      The plugin takes options by extending the shortcode. For instance, if you want all users to be able to see the plugin working (and not only administrators) you can set [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”all”]. There is a detailed list and instructions of the plugin’s options in the support page. You can also create more complex shortocodes by using the Shortcode Composer of the plugin, a visual tool to help you configure the plugin just the way you want it.

    Reply

    1. You can declare user fields as required by preceding an asterisk before the the label, e.g. userdatalabel=”Name/*Email” will create two fields one with label Name and one with label Email. Email field will be required, so if the user does not fill it then he will not be able to upload the files (and the field will turn red).

  • File uploaded successfully but unable to get the email notification to work. I don’t have any other email alert plugins installed. Plugin version 2.4.6. Here is my shortcode:

    1. Hi, your proposal for enabling the captcha only for guests (if I got this right) is an interesting one. I will implement it in a new release.

      Regarding captcha, the plugin uses the Google Recaptcha, which has become very difficult and user-unfriendly. I am implementing more security options, visible and non-visible, as well as new types of captcha, however this will take some time.

  • Hi,

    I noticed your plugin works fine in chrome and IE.
    Firefox ver 35 the select files button doesn’t function.

    We have the paid version and I took over for another developer.
    Baffled why something like a select files button doesn’t open a dialog box to select images on a local computer.

    1. This is the short code

      do_shortcode(‘[wordpress_file_upload uploadid=”3″ uploadpath=”uploads/userportfolios%userid%img” uploadrole=”portfolio-contributor” uploadpatterns=”*.bmp,*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.gif,*.png” createpath=”true” showtargetfolder=”true” adminmessages=”true” debugmode=”true” uploadtitle=”Upload Portfolio Image” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Portfolio” medialink=”true”]’);

      The drag feature works in all three browsers. Seems to be the file upload button doesn’t work in FF v35 using windows 7 Home Premium SP 1

  • Hi, I really like your file upload plugin.
    Question, if I upload 3 files at one time.
    How to I capture what the file names are uploaded
    so when I submit a form I can insert one record for each of the files uploaded? I tried the $_SESSION variable, it only lists the first file uploaded.

  • Hi there I have been using your plugin on one of my clients sites. In order for candidates (its a job site) to upload their CV and have it forward to the main business contact.

    It was working perfectly but now for some reason the email notifications aren’t coming through at all?

    I have tried changeing the file extensions that are allowed
    Changeing the email address that is forwards to
    The filesize limit

    And none of these things seem to have made any difference.

    Could you tell me how to fix this issues please as the email notifications are the main necessity for the plugin use.

    Thanks

  • For some reason I was able to upload a .ipa file even though I am restricting the uploads extension to only these. I upgraded to version 2.5.1 and it allowed the upload.
    uploadpatterns=”*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png, *.mov, *.avi, *.mp3, *.mp4″

    Also, the userdatalabel=”rename me” doesn’t seem to allow me an opportunity to rename the file.

    Lastly, I purchased the Pro version last year but when I updated to 2.5.1 it says my edition is Free and that I should consider upgrading to the Pro version.

        Wasn’t your fault. I put in a tab plugin and incorporated your file upload plugin with slide deck plugin underneath to see the pictures uploaded in a gallery presentation. slidedeck was creating another session. Had to pull out the short code plugin for slidedeck.

        Your session comment lead me to the answer.

  • Hi there, and thanks for a great plugin! I’m testing it out for a project – if it works for me, then I’ll be buying the Pro version to use the gallery integration. All functions beautifully for me, apart from one thing: the redirect attribute stops working as soon as I add the notifyrecipients attribute. My shortcode is:

    [wordpress_file_upload uploadtitle=”Upload your image here!” selectbutton=”choose image” singlebutton=”false” uploadpath=”enlightenment_image_uploads” uploadpatterns=”*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.png” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” redirect=”true” redirectlink=”http://vizchonk.com.gridhosted.co.uk/?p=16″ userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Name (required)/*Email (required)/*School (required)” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”name@website.com, name@website2.com” notifysubject=”An EnLightenment image has been uploaded!” notifymessage=”Image %filename% has been received from Name:%userdata1%, Email:%userdata2%”, School:%userdata3%” attachfile=”false”]

    This doesn’t perform the redirect. As soon as I remove notifyrecipients=”name@website.com, name@website2.com”
    then the redirect attribute works fine. Weird.

    Any ideas? Thanks again!

    2. yes you can make the users upload to separate directories, according to their username, e.g. if uploadpath=”/uploads/inbox/%username%” and the user nickolas uploads a file, this file will go to uploads/inbox/nickolas folder inside wp-content folder of your wordpress website.

  • I am working on my website and I am NOT a developer. My question is how do you allow the customer to change or delete the file before uploading it?

    And second question– how do you extend the field boxes? I see dimension button, but no directions on how to make the fields longer? Your help would be much appreciated in simple terms, as I said, I am NOT a developer. Thank you.

    Reply

    1. Hi,

      If you are using the free version, then the customer can change the file by just selecting another one. If you are using the Pro version (so multiple files can be uploaded at once), the selected files are shown on a list and there is an (X) button next to each file for deleting it.

      Regarding the field boxes, the plugin’s instructions mention how to change their width (and height). The plugin has a Visual Composer in the Dashboard, from where you can configure the shortcode as you want and set any options you want without requiring any develop skills. You can try it out (it is included in both free and pro version of the plugin).

    “If you want to customize the plugin (define the upload path, use file filter, change title and button text etc.) then you can use attributes. Go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload and then press Shortcode Composer.”

    But I can’t find a Shortcode Composer Button.
    I have PRO version 2.7.5

  • Hi, i bought your plugin yesterday, but i had some issues with the email notifications.
    I’m not able to receive that ones on my email addresses. I’ve tried with different email providers, but nothing changed.
    I also removed the other sending email plugins.
    The file upload works fine.
    Please help me, i really need that function.

    Here is my shortcode:
    [wordpress_file_upload maxsize=”100″ forcefilename=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” adminmessages=”true” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/progressbar/subfolders/captcha/userdata/filelist/message” uploadtitle=”Caricamento File (in fase di test, non utilizzare)” selectbutton=”Seleziona File/Seleziona File” uploadbutton=”Carica File/Carica File” successmessage=”%filename% caricato correttamente!” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”xxx@myemail.xx” notifysubject=”%username%%userdata2%” attachfile=”true” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”*Nome/*Oggetto/*Messaggio” filebaselink=”true”]

  • Hi Nickolas,

    Thanks for creating an amazing plugin. Am planning to buy the professional version. Wanted to resolve couple of queries before that:

    1. Is there a way to drop the uploaded file inside a new folder named after the user datalabel (additional data fields of Name/Email) input by the user. Can you recommend a hook?
    2. Is there a way to port the file straight to amazon S3 bucket. Again can you recommend a hook here

    Thanks and look forward to hearing back.

    Thanks,

  • I don’t see a way to disable the automatic link to the shortcode editor. This plugin has exactly what I need to provide simple upload tools to my non-techie admins, but I don’t want to confuse them with the shortcode editor link. Is there some way to remove it other than by editing the plugin, which I’d rather avoid to keep a vanilla install? I’d think that others would also want this capability. It’s easy enough to get to the shortcode editor via the normal admin route, but the link really doesn’t belong on my easy-to-use admin pages. Thanks for any suggestions.

        Thank you for your great widget.

        So I add postlink=true.
        The file is correctly uploaded in the Media library but not displayed.

        1. Hi,

          The plugin includes a gallery feature to display the uploaded images that have been attached to a page (using postlink) right below the upload form, by adding gallery=”true” inside the shortcode.

          Another way to display the attached images is to use the [gallery] shortcode of WordPress (instructions here), or another gallery plugin.

          1. Sorry but I did not understand. I try to insert the gallery=”true” inside the short code, but nothing is displayed. Is that with only the pro version ?

        we talk with my server provider, and we have seen that the wordpress need more memory_limit (MB)in php configuration.

        The technician told me that 150MB download using too many resources. For now we will use this option. Thank you too.

  • Hi, I purchased the pro version for a client site, they want to accept CV/resumes via this tool, all installed and working, but I am wondering what is the best way for my client to access the files and have them locally?
    i.e. will i just get them to install filezilla ?

    nice plugin, worked straight out of the box 🙂

    Reply

    1. The plugin contains a file browser for administrators in the Dashboard, from where the admin can view, edit, delete and download the files.

      There is also a very flexible File List viewer in the Pro version. It can be configured to be visible only to admins and show all the uploaded files.

      1. Thanks Nick,
        if I do not want to grant WP ‘admin’ rights to the client (ie. keep them away from the backend) is filezilla (or similar) the next best alternative?

        1. for doing what? view or download of uploaded files? with the Pro version you can have a file list viewer in the front-end as well (from where files can also be downloaded).

  • Hi,
    my problem was http 500 – internal server error in the version 3.3.1.

    I prefer the 2.5.5 version for me is the best does not bring any errors, at least for me.

    Only needed improvements as I will indicate below:

    The “Go to Main Menu” button could disappear and the menu could be always there is more intuitive and the customer and faster access options

    Regarding the very good shortcut even in the latest version I saw, but should have this structure also free if the customer create a php page for part by ftp as in version 2.5.5, which does not depend only just up the wordpress pages I should have the two possibilities.

    Option “View Log” should have the option to delete each line if the admin is intended to remove the file.

    With correcting two errors mentioned in 2.5.5 version
    And implemented the new features

    I have php code to do this that takes image location and destination. What I can’t work out is what $changable_data & $additional_data should be? i.e. how do I pass the uploaded files to wfu_after_upload?

  • We are currently using the pro version of your plugin which is working perfectly apart from we olny require the customer to upload the following files so i have set the files allowed to: *.zip,*.pdf,*.ai,*.tiff,*.tif,*.sit,*.doc,*.psd,*.jpeg,*.jpg,*.eps,* this doesn’t appear to have worked as you can upload any filetype.

    Also a comment from our customer a progress bar would be good as when uploading a large file you can not see how much has uploaded maybe this could be looked in future update.

    1. This usually happens because the outgoing email configuration is not correct. Most users solve this problem by installing an SMTP plugin like Postman SMTP

  • I am testing this plugin ( free version) but I need a few chages and need to know if it is possible & allowed
    I need multi files uploaded ( I know that is in paid version, so will almost certainly update to that ) BUT I also need all uploaded files to be zipped into a passworded protected zip before being emailed on to the recipient
    I want to use it to distribute malware samples to antivirus companies via an existing mail distribution list
    It is almost impossible to get a user to encrypt (password protect ) a file or series of files without a lot of help

    1. Hi, what you ask can be done using the wfu_after_upload filter. This filter enables PHP actions after all files have been uploaded, so you can pack them in a zip file and email them wherever you want using PHP. I can help you set it up.

      1. if you can work out the code I need, I would be very grateful

        once I test it on the free version on my test site, I can buy the full version & install it on the working site

  • I’m using the latest free version of the Uploader with the latest WP and the latest (or very recent) versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Javascript enabled for all, but the Uploader shortcode only renders in Safari. I had someone else try all three browsers. For him it only renders in Firefox.

    In earlier versions of the uploader it rendered in all browsers. I’m not sure when it stopped working but I assume it was sometime in the last 4-6 weeks. It’s been dormant during that time and I have not changed anything in the shortcode between updates.

    We’ve been considering getting the Pro version, but there were bugs in the free version that we wanted to see worked out first. At least it was mostly working, but this is something new.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.
