Hi, I suppose you updated to the latest version right?
The latest version uses a stricter policy regarding extensions. Your uploadpatterns attribute is a bit too generic.
All the uploaded files have an extension .coa? You can change uploadpatterns to be “*.coa” (no asterisk at the end). This will work.

Thanks, Nick. I can get a success message now, but the file just vanishes into nowhereland.
Here is my code now:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”http://www.simsportsglobal.com/ssgcf.simsportsglobal.com/ssgcollegefootball/exports/” uploadpatterns=”*.coa” maxsize=”999999999999″ forcefilename=”true” showtargetfolder=”true”]
The file says it uploaded, but it isn’t appearing in that folder.
the uploadpath is weird. Let me explain. The uploadpath attribute is relative to /wp-content folder of your wordpress website. So uploadpath=”/uploads” will upload files to /wp-content/uploads.
Your uploadpath attribute defines an absolute path, which is not supported. Is this folder inside your wordpress website, or somewhere else?
It is within my WordPress site. I have them uploaded to a subdirectory:
http://www.simsportsglobal.com/ssgcf.simsportsglobal.com/ssgcollegefootball/exports
My actual WordPress site is simsportsglobal.com. The ssgcf is the college football subdirectory.
This used to work just fine until the most recent update, FWIW.
ok, so ssgcf.simsportsglobal.com/ directory is in the same level as wp-admin/, wp-content/ and wp-include/ directories?
I’m not sure I know the answer to that. I’m not very versed in this.
I know it was working fine for well over a year. If there’s another place I should change the update directory to, I’d be happy to try that. I guess I’m not sure why the existing location that worked fine before suddenly was no longer acceptable.
I’m hoping to get this fixed asap as I have a collection of people trying to submit files.
Thank you! Love the plugin, just need to get it to work again!
Please go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload / File Browser. There you can see your website file structure. On top of the browser there is a “Location” label. Next to Location there is a clickable “root” folder. Click it. You will see some directories then.
You will see wp-admin, wp-content, wp-admin and some other directories maybe. Do you see ssgcf.simsportsglobal.com/ssgcollegefootball there?
Please answer by email to [email protected] so that we can exchange some screenshots if required.
