*August 15, 2010 – This is where to download the latest update for the Amazon S3 Simple Upload Form. This corrects issues for users of WP 3.0. Thanks for using the plugin! *
Ok, so I have developed my first Wordpress plugin. Keyword there…first. Basically, Amazon S3 is a great solution for storing large amounts of data and with Amazon CloudFront, the data can be accessed extremely fast from around the globe. All of these features are relatively inexpensive (based on storage amount and data transfer amount). You can check these out here.
I had a Wordpress project that needed an S3 Uploader, and, although there are some, they are a little complex for what I needed. So, I designed a simple upload form, file browser/downloader, and config page. I will be uploading the plugin to the Wordpress plugin repository, but you can also download it here.
As always, you can contact me with any questions, and I will try to get back to you. Please, because it is my first, don’t think I will answer every suggestion as to how to code it better. I appreciate the tips, but it works so use it as is and I will keep working on improving it.
If you would like a free quote for a project that you have, click here.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUGIN :
INSTALLATION :
- Download plugin and place in ‘wp-content/plugins’ folder.
- Activate plugin by clicking on “Plugins” on the main administration menu, click on “Installed”, find the “Simple Amazon S3 Upload Form” plugin, and
“Activate.
CONFIGURATION :

UPLOADING :
- Click on “Media” on the main administration menu.
- Click on “S3 Upload Form”.
- Browse for your file, and click upload (will be adding a progress bar later).
- Once uploaded, you will receive a confirmation message. If there is a problem, an error message will appear.
BROWSING FILES :
- Click on “Media” on the main administration menu.
- Click on “S3 Bucket Contents”.
- Filenames will be evident, and simply click “Download File” to download each individual file within your bucket.
- I will eventually be paginating the files.
