Direct Uploader is a customizable form that allows your customers to upload content directly, independent of having a social account. Not only does it help to eliminate barriers to entry for your users, but it also allows you to collect custom submission data (e.g. name, email, etc.).
Due to its flexibility, the Direct Uploader is used by our clients for a wide variety of use cases! Often there are times in which the default messaging used within the Direct Uploader needs to be changed:
Messaging does not align with your messaging/branding
Messaging does not align with your specific use of the widget
Messaging may not be detailed enough
Messaging may need to be translated for your users
Regardless of the reason, there is a simple way to customize this messaging to your liking! The following code shows the default messaging currently used. To use this, simply copy & paste it into the Customize > JavaScript tab of your Direct Uploader widget.
