Then use your solution. The developers will also try to implement the best solution in future versions.

I'd suggest for testing purposes changing the uploads folder to not writeable so you can reproduce what we're seeing here.

Please revert back the customizations you're making and use this one:

The changes you've done are not a good solution.

We did some digging and worked out what the issue was:

WordPress VIP does not allow upload folder write access to plugins, hence the issues above.


We had to modify the code in one of your files, but this resolved the issue for us. In short, we also check not only that the folder exists, but that the folder has write_permissions as well.

I thought I'd share given that we can't be the only ones affected by this. This replaces the file in forms/wpdFormAttr/
