Hi there! Happy with your plugin, thanks 
I would like to ask your support for the following. I want to update a plugin. I started uploading the latest version but then i got this warning: ‘Unable to connect to backend. HTTP error 0’. The current version of the plugin suddenly stopped working as well. Can you please advise me how i can overcome this warning and update my plugin? thanks a lot! Marleen
PS the plugin (old version) works again (it was automatically de-activated). So please forget my last remark
Hi
You can email me the backend access, I’ll see whats going on.
Thanks a lot but I am afraid i am mixing up 2 plugins: i am using WP file manager and not yours unfortunately. Thanks anyway! (also for your quick reply)
No problem.
Hello, I do not want to have multiple downloads of files or folders. I want them to be able to download one file at a time.
thx Alexander
Hi,
Yes, multiple files can be downloaded at once.
You can also download a folder with files, in this case the download will be zipped.
Hi. Are you going to update the plugin for WordPress 5.0 and up? Thank you so much
Hi,
Yes, the plugin is already updated for Wordpress 5.x, you can download the latest version.
There will be more features coming soon too.
Pre sale cuestion : I have 250 customers on a B2B wordpress / woocommerce instance.
My purpose is to give access to each customer to his invoices and deliveries notes that I have to upload (they are not managed by woocommerce side).
Do the plugin allow me to do that and, in that case, how ? (hoping I don’t have to create 250 unique shortocdes …).
Thanks by advance and regards,
Eric
Yes, every user automatically get their own unique folder, you can just use this shortcode: [filemanager] to display their folder to them.
Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1. Can you select the base folder/the folder a user first accesses dynamically? (eg. link 1 takes them to Folder A, and link 2 takes them to Folder B?)
2. Can you hide the folder tree on the left, so users can only navigate down from the folder they start in?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Yes, you can get the link to folder by navigating to that folder and use the url from the browser, the browser url changes dynamically every time you navigate to a folder.
Sidebar is always there, you can use css to hide it if you want.
Thanks for your earlier response – I have purchased and am using the plugin. However, I need to work out one more thing:
I have many folders that I want to direct end users to based on a link they select. By that I mean, if they select link 1 they see folder 1, link 2 they see folder 2, etc. But I don’t want to set up a separate page for each folder. My current page contains this: [filemanager foldername=”wp-content/uploads/xxxxx”]
Is there a way I can dynamically set xxxxx to the selected folder, for example, using a URL query parameter, so that one page will serve everyone? Rather than needing a page with [filemanager foldername=”wp-content/uploads/folder1”] and another with [filemanager foldername=”wp-content/uploads/folder2”] and so on…
Hi,
Yes, you can just copy url each time you browse to a folder, it makes a new url in your site. Here are examples from the demo:
Images folder:
http://www.bloopes.com/products/filemanager/#elf_l1_aW1hZ2Vz
Subfolder:
http://www.bloopes.com/products/filemanager/#elf_l1_c3ViZm9sZGVy
Yes, but that means I would have to set up a page for each folder, and also manually update the main page to add a link to each new page/folder.
I already have about 50 folders, with new ones being added regularly. I don’t wat to have to manually add a page and a new link to that new page every time a folder is added.
I’d like just one page with a shortcode such as: [filemanager foldername=”wp-content/uploads/xxx”] where xxx is replaced by the folder name passed as a parameter (eg. via a URL query string).
That’s a very specific requirement you have for how it should work. You can either make shortcodes for each of these folders and paste them in those pages, otherwise you’d to modify the filemanager plugin to make it work like that.
Hi,
We created a new usergroup (using User Role Editor) called buddylijn_uploaden (buddylijn) in Wordpress and assigned some users to it.
In File Manager > User Groups we made the following permission for that user group: Folder: wp-content/uploads/downloads/buddylijn Access: Read/Upload
On the frontend page we inserted this shortcode: "">fm_access group=’administrator’ [/fm_access]
"">fm_access group=’Buddylijn_uploaden’ [/fm_access]
fm_access group=’subscriber’ [/fm_access]
But the users who are member of buddylijn_uploaden usergroup are not able to upload anything into the filemanager. What is wrong?
Also we would like them to be able to use the backend to upload files.
Gr, Age
hmm, pasted code is a bit messed up
What shortcode did you use inside the fm_access shortcodes.
I only see the restriction shortcodes in the code you sent above.
Make sure you generate a shortcode for that user group and paste them inside the restriction shortcodes. Here is how you can do it:
http://www.bloopes.com/products/filemanager/2018/06/23/share-a-folder-with-subscribers/
This code: [filemanager foldername=”wp-content/uploads/downloads/buddylijn” groups=”buddylijn” access=”ru”]
[fm_access group='administrator']
[filemanager foldername="*"]
[/fm_access]
[fm_access group='Buddylijn_uploaden']
[filemanager foldername="*"]
[filemanager foldername="wp-content/uploads/downloads/buddylijn" groups="buddylijn" access="ru"]
[/fm_access]
[fm_access group='subscriber']
[filemanager foldername="*"]
[/fm_access]
Also tried [fm_access group='buddylijn']
When you assign a folder to a user group, make sure you gave them read/write access, and not read only. Read only access wont allow them to upload.
Also you can add two shortcodes in one [fm_access ….] block.
I gave them read/upload access access="ru" They only need to be able to upload items.
But changed in User Role Access it into read/write and also changed the shortcode into read/write.
But still not able to upload a file….
Ah, I found the issue. I use the User Rol Editor plugin to create new roles. For some plugins it is okay to just add an extra role in the user profile and the main role is Subscriber. I had to change the main role into Buddylijn and assign the Subscriber role to the user as an extra role.
Now I got that working the following question: Is it possible to give a user-role access to a directory with just read rights and give write access one subdirectory? I have a main directory Downloads containing several directories. For one subdirectory I want to give write access.
I now added two folders for the user group like this:
wp-content/uploads/downloads/buddylijn Read/Write Delete
wp-content/uploads/downloads Read Delete
But now you see 2 mainfolders and the Buddylijn directory within the downloads folder also is read only.
Yes, if you have read only access to one folder, the subfolder will also have read only access, but if the subfolder is read/write from another permission, then you will see a list of folders in the left sidebar with that subfolder, that subfolder will have read/write access, but if you go to that folder through the parent-folder, it will be read only.
Hello, I am very interested in your plugin. Good work However, I have some small questions Please excuse my English I am Francophone Each user to his own: - access? - directory? - its user area with its own uploaded files? - each upload can be monetized (via stripe or Paypal)? - An e-mail can be sent to 3 different people after each uploal (with a pdf file generated summarizing the timestamp information of its uploaded file)?
Please, is it in the same concept as this site? Https: //www.depotnumerique.com/
thank you for your reply Yours truly
Hi,
Yes all users can have their own folders where they can upload/download files.
There is no payment option in the plugin, but you can use third party subscription addons with it.
You can add a list of emails where the emails are sent once a user uploads a file to their default folder.
I cant really tell what this link you sent is about, its in a different language.
OK thanks for your answer What addons for example for payments? To report to the link I sent you above it is a site for filing files for authors’ rights
Here are a few popular membership addons that you could use:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-membership/
Email me if you need help setting it up for a fee.
Hi Guys.
I need to set restrict visibility to some folders and files to some users. But the permissions only includes read or write.
Is there a way to do this even if i have to buy an addon. Let me know.
You can restrict visibility to any user or user group by assigning those users the folders you want. The same goes for user groups too.
You can go to users page under the filemanager dashboard page and assign any folder or folders and use this shortcode to display them:
[filemanager foldername="*"]
Ok so in order to restrict i have to create different pages or post to share with those specific users
No, you can use this shortcode on any page, every user will only see their own folders through this shortcode.
Thanks
Hey, thanks for the directions, that it is working perfectly. I still have a couple of questions.
Email notifications are not being send even if it is enable, I even install an stmp plugin and it does send other email, just not the notifications.
Is there a form to know if anyone has download a file and how many times. How do we see the stadistics?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Email notification works for user’s default folders only. You can show every user their default folder using this shortcode:
[filemanager]
Default folder is the unique folder assigned to every user by their own username. More info here:
http://www.bloopes.com/products/filemanager/2018/06/06/default-folders/
I am working on file operations log addon for filemanager, it will be available soon as a free addon.
Hi. I’m not sure if this has been answered already. Can all the User Folders be in a subfolder determined by role inside the uploads folder? It’s a little crowded to have all users folders in the uploads folder that has everything else. However, it would be better if there was say a ‘Customers’ folder that is the default location of all users with ‘customer’ role. Is that possible?
Hi
You can change the default folder path using a free addon for the filemanager plugin.
If you want the users to have folders assigned to them based on their roles, then there is a different way to do it, you need to go to user groups page under the filemanager dashboard and assign “Customers” folder to customer user role. Keep in mind that it will assign customers folder directly to every customer user, so they will have the same shared folder.
Does this accept cloud-hosted files like Google Drive & Dropbox or does it only store on the server’s filesystem?
HI,
This works on your server’s filesystem only.
Thanks!
I think it’s a great plugin. I have one minor put irritating thing on safari on mac in dutch. the colom ‘size’ is in dutch ‘grootte’, what is positioned vertical. In that way the top bar is much higher, and hides the first two rows. So if there are 15 items, you only see the last 13. Do you have a way around this? e.g. stop showing column headers vertical, adding a style, replacing ‘grootte’for a smaller word, increasing the width of the size column??
Thank you very much, you can check this problem on a iphone or a mac.
jg.schipper@hccnet.nlHi,
I’ll email you.
is it possible to give a specific user acces to a specific folder, chosen by the admin? Im about to buy your plugin. Thanks
Hi
Yes, you can assign folders to each user individually.
Hi,
Just purchased today. So far so good except for one little thing:
On the front end on the left side (Folder View), the folder icons display as they should (left justified), but the folder names are floating to the center as if they were center justified. I suppose it would be so bad if I only had short folder paths.
It displays correctly on the back end.
Hi,
There must be another jqueryUI library being used in your theme which must be making a styles conflict, can you show this to me on your site, I’ll write some css to fix it.
Sure, I can show it. How would you like to do that? Currently registered users only and don’t want to keep the site unlocked.
You can show it to me on the front-end with shortcode for “everyone” or you can email me the backend access.
Ok, sent you an email. Thanks for your help.
Got it, I’ll reply there.
can this be install on a private physical server?
Hi,
If wordpress works on that server, then the filemanager should too.
Hi,
I am trying to make the default open action either open the preview box, or preferably open the document in a new tab instead of downloading each item to the computer. I would like to be able to disable the download option entirely if i can.
My file manager will only be containing PDFs
Thanks, Reece
Hi,
You can email me, I’ll send you the version with preview on double click instead of download. The users can still download the pdf though.
Hello,
i have a problem with the list view display. When i turn on the “List View” all the odd lines i select (1,3,5,7 etc) the font color change to white and i can’t see nothing. the other lines work (line 2,4,6 etc) are selected in the right way. thanks in advice
Hi
Can you email me the backend access, I’ll change the styles to make it better.
mail sent, thanks
Got it, hang on.
Replied to your email.
Hi Guys, is there any way the uploaded files can be access restricted to the individual user? At the moment if I know the specific URL I can access the document no matter if I’m logged in or not.. GDPR is not happy with that kind of options! Kind Regards Rasmus
You can add .htaccess in the folders you dont want publicly accessible by url. You just need to enter this in .htaccess file:
Deny from All
More info here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/9282193
Make sure you dont make your wp-content or uploads folder restricted to public, otherwise images and assets wont load in the front-end of the site.
Hi Support,
in Chrome and Internet Explorer Shows the Filemanager no more FIles in the Backend. Can you Help?

Hi,
You are using a very old version of the filemanager, you can download the update from codecanyon for free and replace it.
how do I send you log in info?
You can email me through my profile link here.
We are having an issue with WP5 and some js on one of our sites. File Manager is not coming up and showing a red conflict error in the admin. We have turned off the conflicting plugins and still no luck.
Do you have any suggestions?
Hi,
Make sure you are using 7.4.1 version of the filemanager, this is the new one which is compatible with WordPress 5, you can download the update for free from codecanyon, and replace the existing one.
We are using 7.4.1
Email me the backend access, I’ll fix it.
any luck on the Springdaleps.org/portal
I dont think I got your email. Can you try again.
Got it.
