Title: fileup config Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # fileup config * Resolved [stevestaso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevestaso/) * (@stevestaso) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/) * I created a base directory called mc in the settings [fileaway] shortcode is working. But when I use the basic [fileup] shortcode, I get this pop up: `Please build the path to your destination directory.` There is an option to select the Destination directory – I choose mc, same error. Are their any settings or permissions I missed? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/file-away/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/file-away/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480392) * Can you provide a link to the page? * Thread Starter [stevestaso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevestaso/) * (@stevestaso) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480445) * [http://afcea-la.org/afceala-wp/milsatcom-shared-files/](http://afcea-la.org/afceala-wp/milsatcom-shared-files/) * Seems to work better from my mobile.

Still no joy for my page. But I am able to re-produce the problem. * I created a new page with simple shortcodes. [http://afcea-la.org/afceala-wp/fileup/](http://afcea-la.org/afceala-wp/fileup/)[ fileup base=”3″] [fileaway type=”table” base=”3″ manager=”on” directories=”on” makedir=”true” ] * It seems that when I’m NOT logged in, it works great. But if I’m logged in as any user (even administrator), it will not work correctly. in Fileup, I cannot build the directory structure. After selecting from the pulldown, a small spinner appears, then goes away, but the directory structure is not built; and the pulldown no longer has any choices. in Fileaway, with manager mode one, I cannot create directories, rename files, or delete files. * I created a test account so you can see.

Sure. How should I provide you the info for an admin account – not this public forum? I can upgrade the test account if you change the password quickly. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480647) * It’s because you have mixed SSL, as I thought might be the case. You cannot perform ajax requests in WordPress across a mixed SSL environment. You have to make the front-end page in question HTTPS, or remove HTTPS from the backend. * Thread Starter [stevestaso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevestaso/) * (@stevestaso) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480648) * Yep – that was it.

I have been using it for a short while, but just noticed that I cannot upload anymore all of a sudden. I also get “Please build the path to your destination directory.” error message. I checked my settings and I don’t think I’m mixing http with https. The URL of my upload page starts with http and so does my File Away Base URL. I’ve checked it with two versions of WordPress (4.1 on my local machine and 4.2 on our website). Can you please point me to the right direction to fix this issue? * Here’s my short code: [fileup base=”2″ overwrite=”true” maxsize=”128″ makedir =”true”] * Thanks, Omid * [omid82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omid82/) * (@omid82) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480720) * I just figured it out. Somehow the folder I was uploading to (under /uploads/) got the wrong permissions, perhaps after the last automatic WP site update. I had to change folder permissions from 744 to 755. * One more observation is that, I can only upload if “Javascript Placement” is set to “Header all the time”. If I switch it to “Footer when necessary”, I’ll still get the error message from my earlier post. However, with this option, the Search box doesn’t work anymore. I had changed this to footer when necessary as suggested here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paginate-search?replies=22](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paginate-search?replies=22) * Any workarounds for having both the search and upload working simultaneously? * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480721) * Um, you shouldn’t have to choose javascript header all the time to get uploads to work. The upload script actually is in the header all the time regardless of your choice. 😉 * I just tested it on three of my sites and uploads all work with Javascript set to Footer When Necessary. * Did you check your console for any errors that might be clues? * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fileup-config/#post-5480722) * By, the way, my search always works regardless of the javascript setting as well. So you have another plugin that’s not playing nice with File Away. I’d recommend you try to isolate that.
