I have disabled file uploads in my bbPress forum, and all works well, that is to say, people can’t upload files.

Until… you go back into a post you made and edit it, when you are editing the post then the ability to attach a file is now available.

How can I switch it off so it is actually off?

Please help.

ok, so how did you do that?

in each forum you can set permissions to view and comment and so on, I did it in there.

thanks, e-mail sent sir.

ok, have received the email, and the attachment settings are not part of bbpress, so they must be part of a plugin.

Do you know which one, and is it a forum specific one?

[@editor-mike Participant 9 years, 11 months ago]

ah-ha, top man, not sure but this one seems the likely culprit:

GD bbPress Attachments version 2.1

[@editor-mike Participant 9 years, 11 months ago]

ah-ha and now I am inside the plug in I can find a way to fix it!

Thanks dude!!!
