Using Gravity Forms ‘gform_cleanup_target_dir’ PHP filter

by

The gform_cleanup_target_dir Gravity Forms PHP filter is used to bypass functionality that relies on open_dir(), enabling support for the multi-file upload field on servers that don’t support open_dir(), such as WordPress VIP.

Usage

To use the filter for all multi-file enabled file uploads:

add_filter('gform_cleanup_target_dir', 'your_function_name');

Parameters

  • $cleanup_target_dir (boolean): Indicates if old temporary files should be removed from the forms tmp directory. Default: true.
