I can't make the shortcode

I really don’t understand what the problem is you’re describing. Did you read “Read This First >” on the Basic Configuration tab?

Did you look at the screenshots here? https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/file-away/screenshots/

Ok first I have to say WOW you have put a lot of work into this.. WOW.
I have the same problem on 2 sites 2 different hosts I can’t make the directories through your plugin. I went into one site and made the folder manually 755 permissions but your plugin I guess won’t recognize it unless it’s made through the plugin?
message I get on the page I put the shortcode on (I finally figured that part out)
File Up Admin Notice: The initial directory specified does not exist:
/home1/mysite/public_html/wp/docs

The Base Directory setting on the Config tab are not for creating directories. They are for pointing to existing directories. If you want to give me access I’ll get you set up in two minutes.

OK I give up. I can’t make this work. how do I give you my info?

OMG this is just to awesome! I love this plugin! I got it working on a test site but I’m still unable to make it work on the site I really want it on. YOU ARE A GENIUS how did you do this?

Please help me set this up! I have a board meeting this week and I want to show everyone that we can use WP and this plugin to track board docs.

It seems to be some conflict. on the test site everything is smooth. on the main site WP that I want it on WP is jerky and then whenever I try to view the page that the shortcode is on I get a message that I’m running a long script and the program is not responding.
when it finally lets me view the page I just get a white screen and a link to parent directory.

I just noticed That it keeps adding an encryption key in the basic config. the other site doesn’t have that. did I add it by accident? I tried deleting it but it just comes back. I don’t want the docs encrypted I’m just going to block the page they are on.

The docs will not be encrypted. The encryption key is a setting required if you want to make your download urls encrypted. But you have to add encryption=on to your [fileaway] shortcode for that to happen anyway.

You are set up on your “Upload Files” page with a [fileup] shortcode and a [fileaway manager=on showto=”administrator”] shortcode. You can fiddle around with different settings using the shortcode generator modal (on your page editor’s TinyMCE panel). But I didn’t do anything at all other than add the shortcodes. They are working fine. I did a test upload. It uploaded. Then I deleted my upload. Everything’s dandy.
