Sorry to revisit this, but it turns out not having the uploaded file exist as an attachment is quite limiting. Since only the URL to the file is stored, there’s no clean way to for instance get the size of the file, since that requires knowing the full path to the file. This is provided by get_attached_file() for WordPress attachments, but isn’t available to files uploaded in this manner, since they have no ID.

It appears I was mistaken – using the file upload field and providing a custom field name results in a postmeta entry for the post being created, with the url to the uploaded file as the value. I’d still be interested to hear if there’s a way to get it to create an attachment, and actually attach the file to the relevant post, but that’s not 100% necessary (for my use case).

What do you have the post status set to?

Yes, I’ve noticed this too. I haven’t dug into the code yet to see if there’s a (simple) workaround, but perhaps this would be a good feature to add in a future version.

Qurl, do you plan to release a fix for this issue?

Same problem here. Chrome Dev channel on Windows 7, WP 3.3.1, child theme of Genesis. Other plugins:

• Debug bar
• Debug bar extender
• Dynamic widgets
• WordPress SEO
• One custom plugin

Same here, doesn’t fix it.

Same thing here, and Hostgator got it fixed for me.

Ahh, that’s perfect. Didn’t realize there was more documentation available somewhere. That’ll do nicely, thanks! (I do still think there could be a use for what I was talking about, for non-developers who don’t want to add code, but that depends on how much you want to add extra code to the plugin, etc. This is great for me.)

Yes, you could do that. I’d suggest looking into using Twitter’s list widget to accomplish this.

gtquila means you should add some code to your javascript file (like an alert box) to confirm that it’s working.

I think you may have a problem with an html comment on line 26 of your source:

<! [endif]-->

Try changing that to <!-- [endif]-->

Yes, this is possible. I’d suggest looking at the Membership plugin, as it would probably make this fairly easy to accomplish.

If you want this to show up on the home page instead of blog posts, just place the required code on your home page, and set blog posts to appear on another page (e.g. /blog).

Same here. 1.1.4 and WP 3.1
