“Disable store submissions in my database” still uploads images to website.

Hi @thetishbyte

I hope you are doing good today.

I pinged our Forminator Team and SLS Team is there any walkaround for this. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

Hi @thetishbyte

Could you try this code as a mu-plugin:
https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/d569bddd49a34f6453a6f69cfee05aa4

You can install this code as a mu-plugin following this guide:

Hello, this plugin does solve the issue!

Hi, I didn’t want to reopen this issue, but I ran into a particular issue with the file uploads/attachments (and assuming this mu-plugin). If I set more than one recipient (multiple notifications) in the Email Notifications to receive the uploaded files, it only attaches to the first one. My working theory is that it takes the uploaded file, attaches it to the first notification (or one of, it varies), deletes the uploaded file, proceeds to attach the missing file to the other notifications. If it runs the delete after all other email notifications, then it would work correctly. Again, just a theory.

Using the mu-plugin and the test form below, it should be reproducible.

Hi @thetishbyte,

I could notice what you meant, I’m checking with our developer to see if there is any workaround that could be shared regarding this.

Will keep you posted once we get further feedback.

You can use it as a mu-plugin https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/

We suggest making a Full backup first or testing it on a Staging website.

Let us know the result you got.
Best Regards
Patrick Freitas

Hi, sorry for the late response.
Would this be in addition to the existing mu-plugin ([Forminator] – Attach upload file to email) or would it replace it?
Thanks!

Hello @thetishbyte !

In this case you’ll need to replace the previous snippet. Please keep a backup though in case you need to revert it. Adding something after the .php extension will disable the old snippet and allow you to restore it back if needed.

Kind regards,
Pawel

That has worked, thank you very much!

Apologies again, the fix was working specifically for the testing form, but it seems that a different (more complex) form doesn’t like the fix at all (it isn’t attaching the uploaded file to any of the recipients). I’ve reverted in the meantime so that it can continue with at least one working for now.

The problem form in question is attached here.
Is there a way to see what it doesn’t work with the new fix?

Hello @thetishbyte !

Hope you’re doing well today!

I was able to confirm that there’s something that’s not working with this form, however I wasn’t able to find the cause and a fix yet.

I’ve forwarded the case to our Second Line Support team who will look at the form and the snippet closer and will see if we can provide a fix for you. We’ll update you here as soon as we hear back from them.

Warm regards,
Pawel

Hello @thetishbyte

Previously shared code works fine for single upload but now that you are using multifile upload, that’s why the issue came. Please replace the previous MU plugin with the following one and let us know how that goes. ??
