I’m having trouble with the plugin. When I apply the shortcode to the frontend, I receive this error “Invalid backend configuration.Readable volumes not available.” All of my permission settings are accurate.
I also receive this PHP error: “WordPress database error Incorrect table name ’’ for query SELECT * FROM `` WHERE `folder` = ‘Sales Collateral’ AND `meta` = ‘Everyone’ AND `access` = ‘ru’ made by require(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-includes\template-loader.php’), include(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\thefox\page.php’), the_content, apply_filters(‘the_content’), call_user_func_array, do_shortcode, preg_replace_callback, do_shortcode_tag, call_user_func, vc_do_shortcode, WPBakeryShortCode->output, WPBakeryShortCode_VC_Row->content, WPBakeryShortCode->loadTemplate, include(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\thefox\vc_templates\vc_row.php’), wpb_js_remove_wpautop, do_shortcode, preg_replace_callback, do_shortcode_tag, call_user_func, vc_do_shortcode, WPBakeryShortCode->output, WPBakeryShortCode->content, WPBakeryShortCode->loadTemplate, include(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\thefox\vc_templates\vc_column.php’), wpb_js_remove_wpautop, do_shortcode, preg_replace_callback, do_shortcode_tag, call_user_func, vc_do_shortcode, WPBakeryShortCode->output, WPBakeryShortCode->content, WPBakeryShortCode->loadTemplate, include(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\thefox\vc_templates\vc_column_text.php’), wpb_js_remove_wpautop, do_shortcode, preg_replace_callback, do_shortcode_tag, call_user_func, filemanager_frontcode, shortcode_display, include(‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\advanced_file_manager_5\filemanager_string.php’)”
Hi,
The plugin doesnt seem to be connecting to the database, can you email me the backend access. I’ll debug it.
I’m trying to set up 1 Folder for reach Firm that has access to my website. I want the individual employees of that firm to only have access to their firm’s folder and to be able to upload and modify files in that folder. How do I do that? Do I create a folder for each firm using FTP first?
You can creare folders for each firm and assign them these folders. It would be easier to make custom user roles for each firm and generate shortcodes for each of these custom roles for the front-end. Now all the users from each firm will have access to their own folder. You can assign custom user roles using any user role plugin.
Is this plugin compatible with WP 4.7.x ? Any plan for an update? Thank you,
Hi,
Yes this plugin is compatible with wp 4.7. I am gathering user requirments for the new update, and will release one soon.
Hi! Loading the page where i have the plugin installed is very slow and listing folders is also very slow, please help.
Hi,
Your server specs must be low thats why you are getting this issue, can you show me the url where I can see it.
Yes, you need to be logged in though, can i send pm’s here or do you want a mail?
I just mailed you login details via your profile.
Got it, let me check, I’ll reply on your email.
Hello! I have all file upload limits set to 256mb but i can’t seem to upload files bigger than 10mb? Please help!
Hi,
Your server must be forcing the 10mb file limit or may be you didnt set the upload max size correctly, try installing the php info plugin and find out what the current max size is set to. The filemanager wont add any file size restrictions.
Hello! Right clicking files in Safari on Mac’s don’t work, can this be fixed please?
yeah safari does have issue on context menus, safari is not officially supported, but if you are using it you have to use the toolbar for actions.
Hi There. I purchased the theme. When choosing folders to select permissions on some aren’t showing. I can choose, wp-content/uploads/wpclient but there is a folder called general inside this folder that I would like to select.
wp-content/uploads/wpclient/general
However this doesn’t show in the list.
How can I add this?
Thanks
I’ve actually sorted this… I have another question though… Should I be able to drag and drop folders with files in?
Folder uploads only works with certain browsers and are experimental, you can upload the zip with folders and files and extract it.
Thanks. Can you confirm which browsers it works with?
I think this works for the new chrome and may be firefox too.
ok. I will test. Thanks

I don’t have all of the options in the toolbar on the file manager. For example I don’t have a button to add a folder. The documentation illustrate a lot more options than are displayed on my toolbar.
Disregard. I had it set to read/upload not read/write.
Hi There. I have a few questions. Is it possible give users the ability to upload and download files into different folders but not allow them to edit or delete existing files? Can you restrict access to only folders you choose? Can you compress and download folders? Thanks
Hi,
Yes, all of it is possible, in the new filemanager you can choose read/upload mode for folders which allow users to only upload and download but not edit/delete.
You can also restrict users to any folder. You can also compress multiple files/folders and download, but only read/write access allows you to compress files, read only mode wont let you do it.
ok… great… Thanks… Can you use it on folders which aren’t publicly viewable? ie, not in publichtml?
Yeah, works for every folder.
Hi I just purchased your File Manager Plugin. While I see how to set folder permissions, when I do so I get error:
Invalid backend configuration. Readable volumes not available.
Please get back to me ASAP.
Regards.
Hi,
Email me the backend access, I’ll see whats going on.
I sent you an email. Please check
did you receive the email?
Got it. I’ll reply on your email.
Thanks, everything seems to work perfectly well. Top Support!
I need some custom adjustments can you contact me so i can get a bid.
Hi,
You can email me through my profile link here, you will find the email section in the right sidebar.
For some reason the New Folder icon is not appearing in my installation and I’m not sure why. I have the main folders assigned to user groups (only admins right now) but I’m not able to add any folders on the front end like it is in the demo.
You must have read only access to that folder, you need to change the permissions to read/write. Email me the backend access if you need me to show you how.
Does this plugin allow for multiple file uploads? Also can I upload .zip files?
Hi,
yes you can upload multiple files at once, and allows you to upload zip or any other file type.
Hi! Weird behaviour. I have several groups and several folders defined. Folders are assigned via groups only and individually in front-end menu.
I modified the root-folder via settings.php. All works on backend-file-manager. But users shall not have dashboard access.
Unfortunately I still get “Invalid backend configuration. Readable volumes not available.” on front-end access. I’m using [filemanager folder=”*“] for testing purposes. Folders have ””rwx r-x r-x” permissions on filesystem.
Unfortunately your previous comments do not show a solution.
Can you give me a hint where to look at? P.
What root folder did you set in settings.php, if you set it wrong, it can cause these problems.
Changed it to a subfolder of uploads: ”.../wp-contect/uploads/MyFolder” (full path instead of …)
Can you show me the code, or email me the file you changed.
.
Found the issue. Copy/Paste issue.
In your “release notes” for Version 5.5 you have:
[ filemanager folder=” * ” ]
But it must be [ filemanager foldername=” * ” ]
great
Hi I’ve just purchased File Manager plugin. My wordpress installation has the wp-content folder outside (and at the same level as) the wordpress folder. How do I access the wp-content folder? Thanks
Hi,
You can just give yourself permissions for the wp-content folder where ever it is. You can go to users > your username > Folders and assign yourself that folder.
I’m trying to assign a Group Folder.
The problem I’m having is that the #option_folder select element doesn’t let me navigate outside the wordpress folder to where the wp-content folder is (see screenshot). Or am I missing something obvious?
This list wont show you the folder outside the wordpress folder, since the wordpress folder and the sub-folder have a url, anything outside of wordpress doesnt have a url so it work even if you force it.
In my installation the wp-content folder is located outside the wordpress folder (a perfectly valid WordPress layout – Codex) – and all the contents of that folder, of course, dohave their own urls. Eg: this image…
As it stands, this plugin doesn’t seem to cope with wp-content located outside the wordpress folder. If you can’t suggest a fix, could I have a refund please?
Thanks
You can view that image on the site in question here.
Then you need to modify the filemanager settings a little, email me the backend access, I’ll do it.
Thanks for your patience!
Two further obstacles…
1. I can’t give you admin access as there’s sensitive data there.
2. I’m currently testing the plugin on a local VM using Vagrant, so it’s not publicly accessible yet.
Could you point me to what needs changing?
Thanks
PS: It’s up to you if you want to keep going with this – or I’ll look for another solution if you prefer to give me the refund : )
Ok, can you send me the list of the folders that show up in your dropdown list.
Hi. I’ve got the plugin working well, but have become tangeled in the linux file permissions.
The files are 0644 www-data:www-data, and the directory 0755. My role is “administrator” with /wp-content as my “user group”, but I can’t upload a file or drag/drop (the pop-up appears but hangs).
If I change permissions to 0666 or 0777, it works. However it’s obviously not safe to have these permissions.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
644 for files and 755 for folders are fine for the filemanager, email me the backend access, I’ll check it out.
Hi guys, i have a doubt, with this tool i can create all the users i need? if that is the case, i can give those users access to some particular folders and not to all the files?
Thank you
Hi,
the users are the regular wordpress users, like subscibers, admins, editors, you can assign any user or user groups any folder, and all the files inside that folder will be accessible to them.
I need the date format to be j. F Y. It’s not listed in the dropdown.
Also translate the others words than FILTER would be great.
You can edit the filemanager_string.php file add this modifier:
https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Client-configuration-options#dateformat
To change the date format, email me the backend access if you want me to do it.
Hello!
I found a weird behaviour when trying to make your plugin to work.
In my website, the r/w capabilities only work when using IE/Edge. I can’t write to the folders when using Chrome/Firefox. Is there anything that I’m missing?
I tested the same account using all those browsers.
Thanks for your help in advance! Arky
Hi,
Can you email me your backend access, I’ll check this out.
Do you have an email where I can send the details? Envato here tells me that you only receive support through comments.
Thanks!
You can email me through my profile link here, there will be an email section in the right sidebar.
Just did. Thanks!!!
Got it, let me check it out.
How can I allow users to create new folders within their folder? I right-clicked in the file area and selected “New Folder” but I saw a “Permission Denied” error.
Then I opened up my site in an FTP program and changed the permissions of my default folder to 777, thinking that this would help. Instead, I am now no longer able to create a folder within File Manager—I no longer even see the “New Folder” command.
Hi,
you can create new folders if you have read/write access. You can set this access when assigning anyone a new folder. If you are talking about the default user folders then you can change this access in the settings page of the filemanager.
