I think you are on the right track with your idea of checking if the right page is being viewed within the callback attached to the upload_size_limit hook. This code demonstrates changing the upload size if one of the special pages is being viewed, and returning the standard max upload size otherwise: function wpse239631_change_upload_size( $u_bytes, … Read more
Assuming a developer that is/stays current on relevant security issues creates/manages the site, and a HIPAA compliant (per the regulations) hosting environment is used, forms, uploading, etc. is fine. If you proceed, note that compliance is more than technical. Policies/procedures have to be in place for using/managing the solution as well as incorporating the solution … Read more
In general the format is: originalfilename-300×203.jpg, where 300×203 are the dimensions of the thumbnail. However, there are a few things that mean you can’t rely on this: – if the user has edited the file within WP, the filename will change – if the original image is smaller than the dimensions you specify, that thumbnail … Read more

The best way of doing this might be to attach a custom field to each post to keep the increment {n}. Something to the effect of: $attach_inc = 1; if ( is_single() ) { if ( $attach_inc = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘attachment_inc’, true ) ) { $attach_inc++; update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘attachment_inc’, $attach_inc ); } else { add_post_meta( … Read more
This actually does not work great at all as the existence of the cookie does not indicate that the user is logged in, or even that he was ever logged in. All it indicates is that someone somehow set that cookie. To know that the user accessing the file is actually logged in or ever … Read more
It’s usually a permissions error. We used to have these issues on our older servers. As a general rule for file permissions, you should never allow a folder to be “777” (Read/Write/Execute), but the uploads folder on this server, unfortunately, might need it. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, please take a read … Read more
You should check yourself what you get when you execute wp_upload_dir. Typically you run this code: $d = wp_upload_dir(); print_r( $d ); wp_die(); And the reply needs to be like this in 2017/01 Array ( [path] => /var/www/html/test100.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01 [url] => http://test100.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01 [subdir] => /2017/01 [basedir] => /var/www/html/test100.com/wp-content/uploads [baseurl] => http://test100.com/wp-content/uploads [error] => ) You will … Read more
