Overview

This plugin will help you add file upload feature to your site, set maximum upload size, allowed file extensions, and much more through a simple shortcode or a custom function.

Totally AJAX, your uploads will be processed faster and an elegant way. All you need to do is to add the shortcode to your content, or call the plugin’s custom function whithin your code and that’s it.

You can either use [ajax-file-upload /*settings as attributes*/] shortcode to display the quick media upload buttons in the front-end, or use do_shortcode('[ajax-file-upload ..]') in your PHP templates, or the built-in function ajax_file_upload( $args ) for which you should set the settings as an array in the 1 function parameter (those act like shortcode attributes, in case of confusion).
