Wordpress Flash Uploader
April 11th, 2010
This is the new website for the Wordpress Flash Uploader (WFU).
The Wordpress Flash Uploader is a replacement of the integrated Flash Uploader with a couple of really nice enhancements.
So why using WFU:
- The main reason: The internal flash uploader does not work on your server!
WFU works on many more systems because it uses the TWG Flash Uploader which has many internal workarounds for most known problems. I actually started this wrapper because the internal uploader did not work on any of my systems. - WFU checks your system and help you to get it running.
- You can manage your whole word press installation with it. You can create, rename, delete and manage your files and folders. You can even view and edit files directly on the server!
- WFU can synchronize the upload folder with the media library with the menu item ‘Sync Media Library’. So you can even upload images with FTP and import them to your media library. This can be even used without using WFU.
- WFU can resize your original images after the upload.
- You can enable E-Mail notification.
- And everything you can do with the TWG Flash Uploader
the download can be found here: www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/wfu/download-wfu/
Stay tuned.

Hi there!
First I like to thank you for that really great plugin… I just have one tiny question: is it possible to configure the plugin in a way that it does NOT change the filenames during upload? I needed to upload language files for my theme (”de_DE.po” and “de_DE.po”) and something curious happend: after the upload they were all spelled with lowercase letters (”de_de.po” instead of “de_DE.po”) – and of course the language files were ignored by the theme…
Rename doesn’t work either, changing the case did not result in changes of the files…
Can anybody use capital letters with that plugin?
Any help really appreciated!
Thanks and regards,
Stefan
Sure. You have to disable the normalization of filenames. This is done by default because Wordpress cannot handle special characters.
You can disable this in the configuration of WFU.
Best, Michael

Thanks a lot, it did not come to my mind to look for “normalization”…
Due to the fact that the “normalize” section has comments in wfu-settings.php I was not able to change the setting via the web configuration.
Changing wordpress-flash-uploader.php and replace the “false” on normalize to “true” did not help either, I think there exist some other place where config is stored…
I added three comment lines on tfu_upload.php to hard-coded disable the normalization and that did it – on uploads only of course… rename still does not work… But I can live with that…
So.. no idea what I did wrong but I found an (ugly) way
Regards,
Stefan
In wordpress-flash-uploader.php you only changed the default that is changed in the database.
The right file would then be a custom configuration file like explained in the advanced section. The value is actually set in my_tfu_config.php which sets the settings for wordpress.
I don’t know what you mean with rename. But if you disable the normalization at the right place this should work fine as well.

Hi.
I need to know whether this plugin bypasses the wordpress file size limitations. Is it therefore useful to upload large audio/video files?
You still have the limitations of your server. See the howtos of TFU how you can increase this values.
