Pro Forms - File Upload - Skip adding to Media Library not working

Hey @Daniele,

It seems like the Skip adding to Media Library functionality of File Upload in Pro Forms is not working.

I have it enabled, but the file is still being added to Uploads folder and the link to it is being added to the submission email.
upload-file-link-in-email

Any ideas how we could fix that?

Hey Matt,

the Media Library means the database entry. Do the file appear in your wordpress dashboard in the Media list? If not, everything works as it should :slight_smile:

Kind regards

Ahh, I see.

Sorry for that, I thought it would eliminate from complete uploading to the uploads folder.

The file does not appear in Wordpress Dashboard in Media List, where images are.

It only appears in the wp-content/uploads/year/month folder:
image

So, as long that’s an expected behavior, let’s roll with it.

For your use case, you could use a custom path to avoid uploading the files to a public directory :slight_smile: The custom path is relative to your root.

Thanks for all the help, @Daniele!
