About this plugin
Need a client to send you a few documents? Instead of chasing emails back and forth, create a File Request: tell the visitor exactly what you need — “Identity document,” “Proof of address,” “Signed contract” — and let them upload it straight from a page on your own site.
ReNevo is built around one idea: a requested file, not a generic form field. Every request is a named checklist of the specific files you need, and every submission tells you at a glance whether everything you asked for actually arrived.
What you can do
- Create a File Request. Give it a title and, optionally, instructions for the person uploading.
- List exactly what you need. Add as many requested files as you like — e.g. “Passport,” “Utility bill,” “W-9 form” — each with its own label, description, required/optional flag, allowed file types, maximum file size, and maximum number of files.
- Collect basic contact info. Turn name, email, phone, company, and a message field on or off individually, and decide which are required.
- Publish it your way. Drop in a [file_request id="123"] shortcode or add the File Request block in the block editor — both render the same upload form.
- Receive everything in one place. Uploaded files and contact details arrive together as a submission, viewable from the plugin’s own Submissions screen — nothing lands in your Media Library, and nothing is emailed as an attachment.
- Know what’s missing. If a required file wasn’t uploaded, the submission is still saved (so nothing the visitor already sent is lost) and is clearly marked “Incomplete,” with the missing item(s) listed.
- Get notified. Send yourself an email when a submission comes in, and optionally send the visitor a confirmation — both with a customizable subject and body.
- Start from a template. Eight ready-made templates (company registration, client onboarding, tax documents, job application, and more) give you a starting point you can edit freely.
What this is not
ReNevo is not a general-purpose form builder, and it doesn’t try to be one in this free version. There’s no drag-and-drop field designer and no arbitrary field types — every “field” you define is a file you’re requesting. If you need a contact form, a survey, or a payment form, a different plugin will serve you better.
Privacy and storage, plainly
Uploaded files are stored in a protected folder inside your own wp-content/uploads/ directory, outside the Media Library, with no predictable or public URL. Only a signed-in administrator (using the plugin’s own authenticated download link) can retrieve a file. ReNevo doesn’t call out to any external service, doesn’t track or phone home, and doesn’t share submission data with anyone.
Everything happens on your own server.
