Place upload forms in WordPress

Iptanus File Upload Professional adds front-end file submission to WordPress pages and posts through the [wordpress_file_upload] shortcode, or to sidebars through a widget. Multiple shortcode instances can appear on the same page or post.

Collect details with each submission

Forms can include checkboxes, text fields, email fields, and dropdown lists. When file selection is optional, a form can also collect contact details without requiring an upload.

Configure file transfer and feedback

The Professional edition supports multiple files and very large uploads beyond what the basic configuration is intended for. Visitors can add files by dragging and dropping them. If a connection is lost, a resumable upload can continue until the file is fully uploaded. CAPTCHA adds a verification option, and detailed progress bars display more information during transfers.

Uploaded files can be shown in a list, and images can appear in a gallery. Custom CSS rules can be added through the shortcode to adjust the form’s appearance.

Choose where files go and how to manage them

Uploads can go to a selected subfolder, the WordPress Media area, or the current page as an attachment. The plugin can also save files to an FTP location using FTP or SFTP. It can send notifications and emails after submission and redirect users to another URL after a successful upload.

Administrators can view submissions from the Dashboard’s Uploaded Files menu and manage them with the included file browser. Upload events and file management actions can be logged for administrator review.

Install and check browser support

Install and activate the extension, add the [wordpress_file_upload] shortcode to a page or post, or place the widget in a sidebar. Configure the destination, fields, notifications, and Professional settings, then test the form in a current browser with JavaScript enabled.

Project file collection, customer submissions, support forms, picture contributions, screenshots, and webcam video uploads are possible uses; webcam uploads depend on browser support. HTML5, AJAX, and CSS3 help provide the intended experience, though older and mobile browsers may not support every capability.
