the structure of the storage folders has changed (free version)

Hi @virtualnomad ,

Thanks for reaching out. You are right; it’s a bug, and I will work on a fix.”

Could you please share a screenshot of your Contact -> Drag & Drop Upload settings?

Check if “Send Attachment as links?” option is currently checked?

Please let me know.
Glen

Thanks for the quick response.

I only have “Don’t delete files” checked. I have everything else unchecked.

I also noticed:

Even though I have the “Send Attachment as links?” unchecked, even so, sending the attachment as a link works for me if I put the shortcode in the body of the email. I don’t think this bothers me, I’ve had it for years, but it is excluded with the documentation for the plugin.
I use it in combination with the “Advanced Contact form 7 DB” plugin and it inserts the url to the files correctly in the records. So what difference will it make if I also check “Send Attachment as links?” ?

I did one more test. When “Send Attachment as links?” is checked, files are stored in the root directory /uploads/wp_dndcf7_uploads/, also without a structure based on dates.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

* checked – When this option is checked, it will display links in the email without file attachments, and it will create a folder structure like this: ‘/uploads/wp_dndcf7_uploads/2024/09/’.

* uncheck – If ‘Send files as links’ is unchecked, the files will be attached to your email. Additionally, if you add the code to the message body, it will generate links as well.

There’s a bug on recent updates which affect the settings, I will release a hot fix today.

Thanks,
Glen

Correction: I had “Send Attachment as links” checked already before the update. It got unchecked after I updated the plugin so it confused me. I understand that the new version of the plugin stores the settings in the database as an array, so it did not take into account the previous settings.

Thanks for the answer, but now when I have “Send Attachment as links?” checked, the files are saved in “/uploads/wp_dndcf7_uploads/*.*” without a date structure.

In CF7 forms, I have shortcode only in mail body, not in attachments.

So it’s still not working properly.

I’m still currently working on a fix, will release a new version today and let you know when it’s ready.

@moderator sorry I just want to ask regarding my account.

My account was subject to approval for creating or replying to new posts in any thread due to an incident earlier this year where I asked for links, which I believe was against the policy.

I’d like to know if there are any updates or progress on my account. As a plugin developer, I aim to reply promptly when support is needed, but the current situation is causing delays and confusion.

Thank You.

@glenwpcoder It was for asking someone to email you admin credentials to their site, which is one of the worst things you can do here. The moderation hold will remain for quite some time.

@moderator yes it was for admin access not links sorry.

Sure, I understand. Thanks for your prompt response.

@virtualnomad I have just released a new version. Please update and let me know how it goes on your end.

Thanks.

@glenwpcoder Thanks for the quick fix, the folder structure now works correctly, good job!

I would also like to make sure that if I have “Send Attachment as links?” and “Don’t delete files” checked in the free version, so that the data will never be deleted. Can you guarantee/confirm this please?
