General about WP-Filebase

WP-Filebase’s file management

WP-Filebase uses a category/sub-category/file taxonomy. Each category can have multiple sub-categories (child categories) and files.

The file system is kept in sync with the category tree in the Database, e.g. each category has a folder containing the files and directories of all children (files and categories). This brings the advantage that you can easily add, modify or delete files directly on the file system, for example by FTP. WP-Filebase offers a function to synchronize the database with the file system, so file properties like size and hash sum get updated. (Never forget to sync after changing files with FTP!). See Sync.

    I need to be able to put different listings by category on different pages but the plugin only allows for a single file listing. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Fabian,
    Please let us know whether your’re still supporting this plugin?
    It’s a bit frustrating paying you money and then never get any feedback / support what so ever…
    Thank you,

      Yes, same here. I have several unanswered “Premium Support Tickets” that haven’t been answered. It’s extremely frustrating. My school is looking at a range of replacement options.

    Hi i found a bug in the new version of wp-file base its in the

    classes/item.php file on line no 590

    if(!@rename($old_path, c))

    now what is c, it should be $new_path.

    because of this user is not able to change the file category bcoz they won’t move to
    another folder.

    Thanks.

    I haven’t gotten any answers to my premium support tickets yet. We bought the full multi-site license, but I can’t get any answers about mass-importing files with associated meta-information. We will be investigating other file management options.

    Hello,
    I have to create a download center where the user is able to choose by dropdown-menus…
    1) the catagory
    2) the sub-catagory (only subcatagories with content should be mentioned in the dropdown-menu)
    3) the language of the file (mentioned as taxanomy)
    Is the wp-filebase plugin what I am looking for?
    Thanks for your support & kindly regards,
    Bernd.
