External Storage of Image Files?

    Hi all,

    I’m getting ready to install a forum on my elementor site. I’m just wondering where bbpress stores images that are uploaded by users. I am concerned about how fast this will eat up my hosting storage so I am interested in having the images uploaded to something like Amazon S3. Is that possible? Does bbpress store the images in the media library? If so I would assume I can choose just about any of the media offloading plugins out there to achieve this? Any other recommendations or strategies that I haven’t thought of?

    Thanks!

    bbpress in native mode does not store images, it allows you to add a link to an image that can be anywhere, but a user would need to create an image and store it where it can be seen by the internet.

    There are additional plugins, try

    Inline Image Upload for BBPress

    Ok nice, didn’t know that. Looks like the pro version of the plugin you linked adds image functionality plus allows to upload to s3 so that’s absolutely perfect. Thanks!
