    Hi

    I have a question about the plugin:

    Is there a specific file uploading plugin you can recommend together with this plugin?

    And a question about the file uploading plugin you recommend: Does the file upload come as an e-mail? Or does the file get uploaded to a map on a server?

    Best regards
    Sara

    Hi @saraolesen,

    Can you clarify what you’re looking to achieve?

    This plugin should be compatible with any plugin which (correctly) uses WordPress’ upload API (namely the wp_check_filetype_and_ext() method), but will have no effect in cases where plugins try to implement their own file validation.

    As a general rule, I would not recommend using any third-party solution; the safest way to add files to your web site is by using WordPress’ built-in Media Library.

    Hi

    Im looking for a plugin where users/the customer (one without a wordpress user) can send me/the company files. For example a contact form which allows file uploading (it could be a job application for example or other important documents so the security should be good).

    The files should either be uploaded to a local file system or through e-mail.

    Best regards

    Thanks for clarifying, @saraolesen, but unfortunately I do not have any specific recommendations for you. Accepting files from unauthenticated users is an inherently unsafe operation. If at all possible, I would encourage you to try to collect only text-based information from your web site, and reserve file collection for follow-ups through other channels (like email), once you have established a degree of trust with the contact.
