I have detected RichWidgets/Popup_Upload page in one of the tests and we can send a POST request to the webpage. And when I looked at it online, I saw that there are thousands of domains using this RichWidget.
In order to understand if we can upload malicious files with this upload functionality, I just want to install it locally and try that but can not find this Popup_Upload endpoint anywhere or any blogs about it. I found the following github repo and online demo of the widgets but there is no upload function in this repo.
Links:
https://github.com/richwidgets/richwidgets
http://www.richwidgets.io/
Is there anyone who knows what this is and where can I find the source files to read?
RichWidgets/Popup_Upload.aspx is actually one of the widgets that is used in the OutSystems Platform.

I have developed a blogdown site and I am ready to upload it to GitHub. I will be using netlify as well to display the site and I have my domain name ready to go. It is not finished because I want to be able to add things and understand that process while working further on it. I can not understand for the life of me how to upload this. I have tried the new/existing repo schemes. I have tried everything from every site. Do not just send some documentation script cause I have read all them.
I would like to sell an eBook on my website. I'm using WordPress and the shop uses woo commerce, which I just switched over to.
The problem is, the eBook comes in a folder, which is not so simple to upload and sell. If I upload an .exe file, I get the message "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons" and there are certain files in the eBook folder which generate the same error.
I can use WinRAR or similar to compress it and then upload it that way, but I can't assume my users will have the technical ability to know what to do with it once downloaded.
The alternatives I came up with:
I have an install (.exe) file which is easy to download and use - it simply extracts everything and leaves shortcuts.
Ideally I would like to upload the entire folder and have the user be able to download the whole thing at once but, even if I could upload it, it doesn't seem possible to select an entire folder but only individual files - I would be really grateful if someone knew of a way to do this!
I'm yet to find a workable solution so any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: Should have added this is for interactive eBooks, not a simple pdf, unfortunately.
You are hitting WordPress' internal restrictions on file / mime types for adding anything to their Media Library.
This plugin should allow you to add .exe as a valid mime type.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/
More details from the WordPress forum:
The underlying WordPress function called get_allowed_mime_types is used which is filterable and can be customized based on your needs via the WordPress provided filter named upload_mimes which is documented here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/upload_mimes
Thanks, WilltheWebMechanic. Your post helped me fix the issue without reverting to an older version of Woocommerce.
If anyone else is wary of the functions.php file like I am, you can use a plugin for it.
This is the one I used, and it seems nice and stable. Plus, it’s compatible with Woocommerce, which is why I chose it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/
Once it’s installed, you can just add your file type to the ‘Mime’ section of the plugin.
I just added the file types I needed (epub and mobi). I hit save and my products are all working again.
I have a site that I has been created in Adobe Business Catalyst. I am not a fan of this CMS. I am looking to change it to a WordPress site. Is there any easy way to do this? Is there any kind of conversion software or service? I want to keep all the file names and redirects, etc the same.
One of my clients wanted to leave Business Catalyst and merge it with a Wordpress.com blog. The way I got around Adobe's lack of export was as follows;
I used my Linux Server to pull everything off the Adobe Servers using
wget --mirror -p --convert-links -P ./Local/Dir Website-ULR
Tutorial Here, Number 10
All the HTML files came down without any extensions so;
I copied the directory to my Mac and used Fork Lift to batch rename the files to add .html - though any renaming software will do.
The import tool for Wordpress needs an index file to find all your pages so I needed to make an index.html page with links to every post so;
I copied them back to the Linux machine and used
tree -H baseHREF ./Local/Dir
depending on OS you may need to download the tree package or similar.
This then generated an onscreen HTML file in the Terminal Window so;
I copied the HTML code it created and put it into Dreamweaver with the rest of the site, though any software will do, to run a batch clean up of the links.
As Wordpress.com doesn't allow you to install plugins I needed to put it on a my local installation of Wordpress to do the import.
I then used the Import HTML 2 plugin to get the pages into my local Wordpress installation
As I was moving the files to a Wordpress.com site;
Export from from my Wordpress and import into their blog.
I hope this helps anyone, in total it took me 12 hours to find all the tools I needed and to work out all the steps I needed. If i needed to do it again it would take up to an hour now I know how to do it.
I had more links in the post but as I'm new to the forum I was only allow 2.
Better people than I might be able tell you a quicker way to do this.
The only things that can be "exported" in Business Catalyst are E-commerce products and Web App items - they can be exported as .CSV files. You can then hire a programmer to convert them over to a format that works with Wordpress.
Exporting blogs from the Business Catalyst blog module is tricky - one way to do it is to enable RSS and copy the RSS feed and open it in excel to save it as a .CSV or .TAB file where you may be able to import the blogs or get a programmer to convert it into soomething Wordpress compatible.
Thank you for taking time to better explain your platform to me.
In the way of an answer, I recommend the following:
Export your current web site details into a csv file using Screaming Frog.
Then use the CVS Importer WordPress Plugin
This is working for me. I would still be pleased to hear if others have found a process that they also find suitable.
I'm working on a online file library for one of my clients. It's a library for mostly PDFs and office documents. Because they are a huge amount(almost 2gb in files), I'm hosting them on another site(divshare), so that the hosting account we have doesn't get blocked by the excess of files, and also because of excess traffic downloading can generate.
So, my question is if there is a good download manager(even with some search for download categories and so) that can handle instead of local uploaded files, URLs of files hosted somewhere else?
The advice about any plugin or the like is very appreciated.
You ask how to code such manager, right? Otherwise, your are on the wrong site...
I think you need to make a kind of file manager, except that instead of generating HTML pages to view the files and act on them, it exposes a Web API, returning XML or Json data, that a WordPress plugin can manage.
From Divshare:
The DivShare Uploader Plugin for Wordpress replaces your regular
uploading frame with a DivShare upload form, allowing you to easily
upload and add files without ever leaving your "Write a Post" page.
It's a great way to speed up your blogging and take the load off your
servers when hosting big files and images.
It can be found here: http://www.divshare.com/integrate
Good Luck!

I know I should post this on the WPMU forum, but no one writes me back and I'm just trying to find a larger audience hoping you have run into this issue as well.
I have built a WPMU site for a client, and I am able to upload media into the Media Library and within a Post or Page perfectly. I thought my job was finished, yet the client can't upload any media at all. I'm located in Kentucky, they are located in New England (if that even matters). I had the client record their process of uploading as I thought they were simply not following my instructions for uploading, yet they are doing everything correctly.
When uploading a file it goes through the process of allowing them to select a file and it says it uploads it, yet when it is finished uploading nothing is in the Media Library or in the Post.
Video of the client trying to upload in Media Manager (http://www.screencast.com/users/CatherineWeber/folders/Jing/media/945d33fa-a752-45fd-9bc1-f76fc5a1814a)
Video of the client trying to upload within a Post (http://www.screencast.com/users/CatherineWeber/folders/Jing/media/b5c60e25-f0b5-40c0-a820-c2fc9eb00906)
Asking the client to disable Flash Uploader didn't work :(
Yet, I can login to the WPMU site, access their blog's backend and can easily upload a ton of files. I am so lost at to what the issue is here. I am running version 2.8.4a, and will try to upgrade to latest release hoping this will fix things.
Are you using same blog and same username to login ?
Ask the client what media exactly he is trying to upload. PHP server has "Maximum allowed size for uploaded files"(upload_max_filesize) option. So if this limit is set to 2M(M stands for MB in php.ini), but the client is trying to upload something bigger...it can't be uploaded.
Also check the filetype...I'm not sure, but I think wordpress has such a filter.
If even this doesn't help, ask the client to record itself what exactly is doing on his screen. There could be errors returned, or any other little missed, by him things ;)
