There are multiple ways to interpret that questions, but if you mean you want to show a file-up instance to a specific user, and no-one else, you can’t do that natively, but you can accomplish that with another plugin of mine: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/eyes-only-user-access-shortcode/
I haven’t updated the plugin in a while, but that’s because it doesn’t need updates. It’s very simple functionality.
Actually I did try that plugin but for some reason it didn’t work, I was hoping it did because of the nesting feature.
I am using the latest version of wordpress
Only the user “Anne” should be able to see this correct? For some reason it is not working.
[eyesonly username=”Anne”] [fileup base=”1″ makedir=”true” overwrite=”true” fa-theme=”silver-bullet” class=”styled” showto=”administrator, editor” ] [/eyesonly]

Is Anne an administrator or editor?
Is Anne the actual username? Did you check the text editor as opposed to the visual editor, to make sure you don’t have any stray HTML tags messing up the shortcodes?
This works perfectly fine for me on several installations of mine where I do exactly this. A fileup inside an eyes only for a specific user.
Anne is an editor. Am I correct in saying that only she should be able to see it, regardless of other users roles? In other words i am logged in as an admin, but because I have wrapped this tag around the fileaway tag so eyesonly would trump the level access defined in it?
Yes, but you need to make sure you have administrator override disabled in the eyes only settings page.
Ahh I see that probably is the answer. Thanks for the support. Great work 🙂
