Temporary Files not deleted

[blickgerecht]

Hi,

we’re using dropuploader here, just for make it easier for applicants to upload their files: https://lhjobs.entwurf.digital/bewerben/

We’ve just updated all plugins and the drop uploader and I recognized that the temporary files in /wp-content/uploads/cf7du_temp are not deleted after the e-mail is sent.

We’ve not checked any option for storing the files neither in the general settings of the drop uploader or in the contact form settings.

The e-mail is sent correctly with the attachement(s). But one strange issue is also happening: The “E-Mail(2)” of CF7 has no content in the attachment field but the attachement(s) are also sent to the receiver of the “E-Mail(2)” and we can’t change that.

Please help!

Best

Roland

Hi!
I can’t login to your site (/wp-admin address returns 404 page). Can you tell me, what version of Drop Uploader do you use?

Just to let you know.

I checked the other installation of Drop Uploader we use.

It’s the same there – files are not deleted after they’re sent. So they seem to be stored on the server forever. I think that should be fixed as we didn’t set an option to keep the files on the server.

The “E-Mail(2)” issue can’t be tested there as we don’t use this option of CF7 there.

Best,
Roland

Hi,

Mail 2 attachments are fixed. Thanks!

But after the test, the uploaded file is still inside the folder /wp-content/uploads/cf7du_temp

Should it be deleted immediatly or after a specific time?

Best,
Roland

Hi!
Temp files will be deleted daily, so please check if files were deleted tomorrow.

Hi,

the files are still not deleted.

Bought another license today for a third project. So I was triggered to check, if the files now are deleted. But it’s still not working.

Files are stored over weeks and months, nothing happens to them. And – worst case – you can access them via Browser. Sure, the folder names are better than the most passwords, but there should be a .htaccess-file installed with the plugin.

Please fix that issues asap!

Best,
Roland

Hi!
Do you use Apache web server on NGINX?
Also, can you give me FTP access to your site, I will check error logs on your site.

Hi,

we use a simple Apache, no NGINX.

Unfortunately I can’t give you FTP access as our sites are live-websites of a client.
If you tell me where to find the error logs, I can send them here.

As it’s not working in three installations, I think, you should check everything on your side again. Probably most of the users don’t check if files are deleted, but will have the same problem.

Our workaround is a cronjob that’s deleting all files once a inside the folder
/wp-content/uploads/cf7du_temp

Best,
Roland
