Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BuildsByLuke Upload Vault – Secure File Uploads for Gravity Forms

No. The audit, protection and proxy work on the gravity_forms upload directory itself, which outlives the form plugin. With Gravity Forms active you additionally get form titles and automatic link rewriting in entry views and notification emails.

No - that's the plugin being honest. Your server (typically nginx or IIS) ignores .htaccess, so the deny rules can't take effect on their own. The audit page shows the exact server snippet; once it's in place and the server refuses direct requests, the verdict flips to Protected.

Entry views and new notification emails switch to proxy links automatically (when Gravity Forms is active). Direct URLs in old emails will stop working for strangers - that is the point - but any logged-in user with entry access gets the same file through the Files screen or entry view.

No. It writes only: a marker block in the upload folder's .htaccess (removed on unprotect/uninstall), empty index.html placeholders to stop directory listings, and its own database table. Files are never moved, renamed or altered. The Pro retention feature deletes files only if you explicitly enable it and set per-form limits.

Upload Vault removes its deny rules (restoring Gravity Forms' stock behaviour), drops its database tables (uvgf_files, and uvgf_shares/uvgf_log if Pro was used) and deletes its options. The empty index.html placeholders are left in place (they are inert).
