Problem:

The customer wanted to enable users to upload files (resumes and certificates) via a Toolset form and store these files in a custom directory (/wp-content/bewerbungsunterlagen) rather than the default uploads folder. The initial code attempts failed, saving files in the standard uploads directory.

Solution:

We suggested refining the upload_dir filter to ensure it only applies when necessary and removed afterward to avoid conflicts. Additionally, the permissions for the custom post type 'Bewerbungen' were adjusted in Toolset > Access Control to allow guest users to upload files without needing to log in. To prevent WordPress from generating thumbnails for PDF files, a code snippet was added to the functions.php file to disable PDF previews:

function wp_disable_pdf_previews() {
$fallbacksizes = array();
return $fallbacksizes;
}
add_filter('fallback_intermediate_image_sizes', 'wp_disable_pdf_previews');
