 * I can’t seem to find the server directory where the images are being uploaded
   to. I’m getting an overall error and I think it might be a permission issue on
   the directory.

 * The uploads are stored in the database. The reason is that you would lose all
   of your files every time you upgrade the plugin, since this always completely
   removes the old version’s files before installing the new version.
 * If you go into the ‘Data’ page for the form in question you can download the 
   files individually or download a .zip file containing all of the files.

 * When i try the download function, all I get us a URL passed back:
 * [http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/Failed](http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/Failed)
   to open file
 * Same goes for the CSV export. So I’m not sure they’re uploading. When I submit
   a form, the form says 0kb files for all images. In the admin it reports the correct
   size.

 * This looks like two separate problems. The summary showing 0kb size is a definitely
   a bug. However the admin size is directly calculated from the number of bytes
   in the database. It is unlikely that the files aren’t getting submitted if they
   show a non-zero number. What would cause both the file uploads and .CSV generation
   to fail would be a problem writing to the /tmp directory, so you need to make
   sure the permissions are set properly. If that doesn’t solve the problem, I’ll
   have to think of something else to diagnose it, but I’m at a loss as to what 
   else it could be at the moment.

 * I Keep getting error message “There was an error with the file upload.” I can’t
   get form to upload a picture. I set the exceptable and non exceptable extentions,
   but left the upload dir, and upload url blank. wp-content/uploads is set as my
   upload folder. im not sure whats wrong.

 * Did you change the max file size? The default is set to 1MB which might be too
   small. Also, just fyi, if you leave the upload directories blank the files will
   be stored in the WP database rather than in wp-content/uploads. If you want them
   to go to wp-content/uploads you would put ‘%doc_root%/wp-content/uploads/’.
