An Introduction to the WordPress Media Upload Settings
You can find this in the WordPress dashboard by navigating to Settings > Media: There are only a handful of settings on this screen, but they can have a significant impact on how media appears on your site.
Let's Talk About That. ...
Adding a WordPress File Upload Form
The very first step is to install and activate weForms on your WordPress dashboard. This is how you install weForms. Once you have activated the plugin, start creating a new form by navigating to weForms > All Forms > Add Forms. Choose a blank canvas or a template. For demonstration purposes, I’m choosing the Support Form template of weForms.
weForms File Upload Field Options
From the menu, easily click on or drag and drop the file upload option on the form builder.
To rearrange, simply use the Cross to drag and drop the field where you would like it to be.
By clicking on the Edit button, you can view the Field Options for File Upload. The Field Options are really helpful. You change the Name of your field, Meta Key, and add a Help Text for your users from here. You can also specify if you require your users to upload a file in the form or not, by simply selecting Yes or No.
As you rename your Field Label, Help Text, and Required options, you will see your form builder changing and updating accordingly. That’s the weForms live Preview at work!
The Meta Key is automatically generated according to the field label you provide. And you can also customize it, just like all the other weForms functions and fields.
File Upload Advanced Functions
With weForms’ Advanced Functions you can choose the Max. file size you are ready to accept. The icing on the cake! You can even allow your users to select multiple files if they want to. Define this with Max. files feature. This gives more freedom to your users who are able to interact better with you. Also, you are able to collect more information from a single submission.
With the CSS Class Name feature, you can modify the default visual appearance and style of the file upload option by adding custom code. In other words, you are not restricted to using the inbuilt outlook of the weForms fields. If you know custom coding, you can easily alter the theme and design of your fields as you desire!
Here’s an example of a custom CSS.
You can also choose what kind of files you want to allow your users to submit with the Allowed Files option. weForms provides you with a huge number of inbuilt file formats. More than 50 to be a little precise!
The Advanced Options also allow you to use Conditional Logic to define any criteria. For instance, if you want the file upload option to only be available for users seeking some support in certain Departments you can set the logic in that manner. And the same applies if you don’t want it to apply to a certain Department, then you can change the condition accordingly.
The dropdowns make it seamless for you to choose your categories and options.
You can define as many categories as you like with the help of Radio Fields. It doesn’t have to be just Departments.
And that’s it! You are done creating a WordPress form with the file upload option. After you are done editing, just on Save Form in the top right corner. Create Download Button!
