For this tutorial, we will be using WPForms Pro which you can purchase using the link above. Install and activate the plugin, and in the settings add the license key to verify your product. Finally, for this tutorial you will go under WPForms and into the Addons area to activate the Form Templates Pack Addon.

We will go into WPForms, Add New and name our new form what we want, and we will scroll down to select the file upload template. Select it and WPForms will create a form for you with pre-populated fields that you can decide to use or not. These will include an upload field, comments, and other fields that are normally included in this type of form.

You can delete any fields you don't want to use or if you select a field, on the left-hand side you will have options available for editing the field to display how you want. For the upload section, you can limit to certain file types and allow multiple files if you wanted.

For this guide, we will check the box to store files in the WordPress Media Library so the files are saved on your site itself. In the general settings for the form, we'll set the admin email address, the subject, and decide if we send them to a thank you page or send a thank you message.

Thanks for this tutorial! I've run into issues with Wordpress's 150 MB upload limit before - does this also apply to files that are uploaded through WPForms? Also, can those files be downloaded from my media library to be saved elsewhere?

[realamirmk]

Great video! Very helpful! I was wondering though, is there any way we could have each form to be saved on integrated Dropbox cloud or other clouds automatically after submission? I appreciate your feedback :)

Would I be able to edit this Upload form using Elementor Pro?

Nice tutorial! But how do i select the option as to view filled forms as a visitor? For example, matrimonial based forms and visitors want to view the filled form?

But the media library can be a mess if several users submit, how do you differentiate which user submitted what, or when

Hi, I do have a question. I have created a Microsoft Word fillable form with dropdown fields, text field, etc but I would like to upload the form to my website without breaking the Integrity of the form. But whenever a customer fills out the form and send it, it generates a PDF version of the form where it would be sent to my email. Is there a way to do this ?

[katobaron]

I'm adding my first Elementor form with a file upload option included. The client was asking me if this could potentially compromise the security of the site in the event that someone uploads malware or other types of malicious files.

Have you ever experienced anything like this? Any help is much appreciated!

Great video!! I’m badly stuck on one thing ... I create short one minute after effects templates which I have in my site were a person chooses one for me to edit.. as this takes a couple of days to edit, I need to put this one minute video up on my site so my client can view to download... but how can I do this? I see on fiverr they have a page for people to download the finished product by clicking a link

Hi there, in which way would I go about: users uploading images that go straight to a gallery space rather than accepting the post in pending posts? I want users to be able to upload and the image enter the gallery straight away. Thanks !

[islamdasajev]

[ravirachuririsingsun]

Awesome Video. I would like to know is there any Open source plugin for converting website to mobile app ? Could you please suggest.

[evaggelospasiakos]

Is this plugin safe? I mean couldn't someone upload malicious php scripts?

Thnk you

Is this mobile device compatible? If I want to submit a file using my iphone or android device?
