    Hi

    I have a subscribe form with a custom field for file upload.
    Works great! Only problem the file/image the subscriber uploads isn’t viewable in the Media Library.

    Is there a way to see users uploads in the Media library? Or to set a specific folder in WP-content/uploads were all the files the subscribers uploads with his/her subscriptions are stored?

    That’s correct, the subscriber uploads do not generate an attachment record in WordPress, thus it doesn’t display in the media library.

    It uses the wp_handle_upload() function though so it follows the regular WordPress uploads structure like the rest of the media library uploads.

    If you feel it is necessary for the subscriber uploads to display in the media library, we can consider adding this feature.

    I can’t be the only one that think it is necessary or let just call it handy that you can see subscriber uploads in the media library uploads.

    Or the option that if you create via FTP een Subupload folder in WP-content/uploads and the subscriber uploads are collected there.

    Now I have to give FTP acces to the subscriber manager and he hasn’t a clue how that works or witch images he can’t download. Luckly he can’t delete anything, but still. I thought the custom field upload was more editable, if you know what I mean.

    Thanks for your feedback on this.

    I’ve added this to our development list so that we can improve the way that uploads by subscribers are stored and make them easier to manage as well.
