Title: [Plugin: WordPress Form Manager] File Attachment Link Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WordPress Form Manager] File Attachment Link * [manakuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manakuke/) * (@manakuke) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/) * Had a strange issue pop up today, Feb 1. All of the form submission that had files attached switched their displayed url from files/2012/01/filename.doc to files/2012/**02**/filename.doc * All the files had been uploaded in January, but now all the links to the files are automatically putting in Feb. I was able to do a quick fix for the client by moving the files, but was wondering if there is a glitch or a setting I am missing.

Is it still happening? * Thread Starter [manakuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manakuke/) * (@manakuke) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544662) * Apparently. I’m running multi-site. On another site I use for testing, a sample form I set up experienced teh same issue. The file was uploaded in January and was accessible correctly in January, but now the generated URL is /files/2012/ 02/recommendationservicescholar%20(01-12-12-08-10-47).pdf * It puts the right date/time stamp into the file name. As seen above, it was uploaded on 1/12/12, but now the file folder is trying to retrieve it from the 02 folder. I might not be able to replaicate the error until March rolls around to see if any files upload in Feb (and/or Jan) start generating URLS with /03/ instead. * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544666) * I’ll try to recreate it on my end, I have a guess on what is causing this. Thanks for the info. * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544683) * I just posted 1.6.27 which should prevent this for new files. There isn’t much I can do about files that are already uploaded, though. * Thread Starter [manakuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manakuke/) * (@manakuke) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544685) * Thanks so much! * Thread Starter [manakuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manakuke/) * (@manakuke) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544717) * I’m getting the same error from files that were already uploaded. The same files that had been uploaded in January (who’s URL changed to Feb) now are getting a March URL. I had manually moved the files to the Feb folder (They are still there), but the generated URL links are now /files/2012/03/recommendationservicescholar% 20(01-12-12-08-10-47).pdf * I haven’t touched the site since. I have updated the Form Manager plugin. * I’m running Version 1.6.29 * Is there a setting on my end, perhaps, that I need to adjust? * Plugin Author [hoffcamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoffcamp/) * (@hoffcamp) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544722) * The fix will only work on newly uploaded files. The older files are stored as a filename, and in your case a string, ‘%uploads_dir%’, which points to the * current* uploads directory. I missed the fact that this directory changes with time. The update changed things so that files are stored along with the full path of where they were uploaded. * The entries in the DB are serialized PHP arrays, so you could write a script to alter them according to the updated format. Or you could re-upload the files. That’s all I can think of. * Thread Starter [manakuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manakuke/) * (@manakuke) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-form-manager-file-attachment-link/#post-2544723) * OK. Thanks for your feedback. I should be able to address the older files. This helps. Thanks!
