Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Iptanus File Upload

Yes, the plugin works on mobile browsers, including iOS and Android.

Yes. By default every visitor can upload, including guests. You can also restrict uploading to particular user roles from the plugin's settings.

Yes. The upload form is a shortcode, so it works anywhere a shortcode does — the block editor's Shortcode block, Elementor, and every other builder. Dedicated Gutenberg blocks and an Elementor widget, which let you place the form without touching a shortcode at all, are in the Professional version.

Not in the free version — files are stored on your own site or sent to your own FTP server. Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive and Amazon S3 destinations are in the Professional version.

You can restrict uploads by file extension and by size. The plugin also sanitises and encodes everything passing between server and browser, so an uploaded file cannot turn into an attack on your dashboard. The Professional version adds a captcha before upload and a quarantine that holds a file for inspection when its extension and its actual content disagree.

The free version is a complete upload plugin — no time limit, no nag screens, and the plugin itself imposes no size cap. The Professional version adds uploads to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Amazon S3, files of unlimited size that resume if the connection drops, selecting many files or whole folders at once, drag and drop, per-file progress, captcha, an image gallery, custom CSS, and a file browser your users can reach from a page.

Yes. A progress bar appears while the file is being sent. The Professional version additionally shows details and a separate progress bar for each individual file.

Yes, but not in the free version. If you want to allow multiple file uploads, please consider the Professional version.

Files by default are uploaded inside wp-content directory of your Wordpress website. To change it use attribute uploadpath.

Administrators can view all uploaded files together with associated field data from the plugin's Settings in Dashboard. The Professional version of the plugin allows users to view their uploaded files, either from the Dashboard, or from a page or post.
