I loved the forminator plugin for all the functionalities except the one I mentioned in last thread.

As I mentioned in previous trail, changing submission folder is not going to help as the core attachment URL will be still naked.

As you mentioned “submission retention will also remove attachment” in this case the if no attachment is available to the specific URL it will keep showing 404 pages (Unless redirection is set) which means generating log all the time.

These are the exact reason I am looking the same functionality like contact form 7.

For ref: https://contactform7.com/file-uploading-and-attachment/

I am receiving approx 500+ resume from everyday so, reviewing them all in the same day isn’t possible. Storing all those files on the server can surely create load on server. If I set deletion for one day then No attachment will be available next time.

This is why I am looking for the same solutions as Contact Form7.

Can you try to get in touch with your dev team and ask the solutions for the same?

Thanks Nastia for quick reply.

Well, as you suggested

1) Under Privacy, choose Custom and define the number of days that will keep submissions on your site. And to remove attachments, under Submission Files, choose Delete.
-> My question is if I set only 1 day to keep submission and on second day when the file is deleted, how can we open the attachments when it doesn’t exist on the path?

2) For security, you can create a custom folder to keep the attachments. Please upload this file to wp-content/mu-plugins. If the folder doesn’t exist, please feel free to create it.
-> If there are multiple user who have access to a specific email where we are receiving form submission with attachments, everyone will be able to see the path of the file which can still create security breaches.

What can be the solution for the same.

I been using Contact form 7 since last 6 years but with the features and bundles of things in forminator, I wanted to switch over the same.

Here is the example for Contact form 7 Uploaded file management:
After a user uploads a file through your contact form, Contact Form 7 checks to see if: 1.) Any PHP errors have occurred; 2.) the file type and file size are valid; and then, if the check turns out okay, Contact Form 7 moves the uploaded file to a temporary folder. At this point, Contact Form 7 attaches the file to the mail and sends it. After these procedures, Contact Form 7 then removes the file from the temporary folder.

I am looking for something like this. Can your team provide any other solutions for Forminator?

Thanks
