There must be a way to authenticate whether the upload was a success or a failure, what if one were to authenticate whether the URL to the file uploaded is valid or not?</p> <p>1) Authenticate whether the URL for the file uploaded is valid.<br /> 2) If it is not, then let the user know that the form was not submitted properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-12251 Sun, 07 Nov 2010 21:19:27 +0000 TheCosmonaut 12251@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@alex -- Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-12250 Sun, 07 Nov 2010 21:16:49 +0000 Alex Cancado 12250@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is a good point, I will talk to the team and see if there is a better way to handle this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-12236 Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:17:16 +0000 TheCosmonaut 12236@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>People should be aware that this failed message will get displayed if a user attempts to upload a file whose size is larger than the maximum file upload limit. To find out what your limit is, go to Media &gt; Add New in your WordPress admin. There should be a line right under the "Choose files to upload" label at the top that says: Maximum upload file size: 2MB. The MB will be different depending on your server settings.</p> <p>My question is, is there any way for Gravity Forms to return an error BEFORE the form submits? Or return an error once the form has been processed? I don't like having a form a customer can fill out, the form says it's a success, and then they get a "Failed" notice in their confirmation email... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-11746 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:41:27 +0000 Alex Cancado 11746@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We have corrected the issue where the "FAILED (tempory file could not be copied)" is displayed when no file is uploaded. It will be included in our next release, but if you need this fix now, please email me at alex[@]rocketgenius.com and I can send you a pre-release version with the fix. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-11723 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:43:54 +0000 cyri 11723@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The file upload is working fine for me but when the user chooses not to upload a file, i.e. the upload field is optional, the user when they see the entry they get that FAILED (tempory file could not be copied) error message which is confusing for the user. They think something is wrong when in fact it isn't since they chose not to upload a file. Is there a way this message can be changed to "Not applicable" for cases where no file is submitted by the form user? Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-10770 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 15:10:50 +0000 Carl Hancock 10770@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Only known causes are server issues. We use standard WordPress and PHP file upload functions so if your permissions are correct, etc. it should work. If it fails sometimes it could be a server issue. We aren't able to replicate the issue so it's difficult for us to debug if we can't reliably reproduce it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-10768 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 15:00:36 +0000 tomleger 10768@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am having this problem as well. I just upgraded to the latest version, changed permissions, and set safe mode to OFF on my server. It only happens sometimes. Some files upload and transfer fine. Are there any other known causes? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-6328 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:56:10 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 6328@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can get the latest update here.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/downloads/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-1#post-6327 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:47:03 +0000 bekz 6327@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, I have exactly same problem, where is the update ?
