bbPress.org

There is an option but it’s so WordPress. (half done)

This will add a WP Media upload button above the form.

<?php bbp_the_content( array( 'context' => 'topic', 'media_buttons' => true, ) ); ?>

Yeah but they don’t wish to be like other forum software I guess.

bbPress wants to stay very clean, lean en mean I think. They hope somebody will ever make plugins for bbPress to accomplish all those tasks even history has proven Plugins aren’t the best way to go forward.

Anyway,
The code-snippet should go in the template that handles the form-stuff.

Find the next files.
wp-content / pluings / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / form-topic.php
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / form-reply.php

Copy & paste ( don’t drag & drop ) both files to your theme folder inside a new fodler called bbpress.
wp-content / themes / your-theme-name / bbpress / ** paste them here **

Open the files and search for a line that say:
<?php bbp_the_content( …. ); ?>

Line 66 and 92 I think it is.
Change the code and Save it.

Refresh the page and you should see a Media upload button above the toolbar.

Hi @macpresss,

The ‘media_buttons’ => true, ), seems to be not working.
Are there any solutions for this?
I really don’t want to use plugin for this.
I hope for your response.

Thanks.

^ the user needs to have the correct rights for example

function add_theme_caps() {
    $role = get_role( 'contributor' );
    $role->add_cap( 'upload_files' ); 
}

add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_theme_caps');

If you want to add contributors and above to be able to upload_files, change that to subscriber if you want

For an alternative way to add inline images to topics and replies without cluttering up the WordPress media system or editing user capabilities, check out our new “Image Upload for BBPress” plugin on the WordPress repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/

@PinkishHue Glad to hear it’s useful! We built it after looking for a way to enable inline image uploads on a client’s bbPress forums and not finding anything.

so have your reported this to that plugins support channel?

I think you’d need to raise that with the plugin authors

It does not do what I want. I want images above, below or on the right side of the text. Not into separate attachment block.
