Hello,

I have the following problem;

Users can not upload images or videos when starting a new topic. As a user, you can select an image you have already uploaded to go in the new topic, but not upload new ones. It seems to work okay for users to upload and select new images when they are replying to an existing topic, the problem seems to be when starting a new topic.

My website foilfeed.net

I have deactivated all plugins and this didn’t fix it.

Bbpress is 2.6.0

can you upgrade to 2.6.1 and retest please

I can comment on this one. I do have the “attach media” GD plugin but not tested it. We don’t use WordPress add media here. We use the tinymce insert image and put a link it.

As previously mentioned yesterday, I can’t insert videos anymore if not admin because of the escaping of the HTML in the source tag which is crippling.

I have just attached an image using the GD Attachments and it is fine. This was a new topic as a standard user. But bear in mind I have switched moderation off due to its:

1/ lack of telling the user a reply has gone to moderation which only leaves them stressed out.
2/ lack of informing the moderators that topics/replies are in ending and need to be addressed (even though WP discussion settings has specific setting to notify moderators)

Thanks Robin,

I have upgraded to 2.6.1 and reset all the forums.

It still has the same problem.

It might be worth adding, admin has no problem adding media at any time but every other level of user does have the problem.

This is why I have switched off moderation:

// Switch off bbPress Forum moderation
add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

Add that to your child theme functions.php or a snippet.

The problem is sorted thank you.

[Chuckie]

What was your resolution? Switching off moderation or something else?

@ajtruckle
I am having the same issue with participants not able to add images without moderation.
How can I add the remove moderation code to my theme’s additional css?
This line brings up an error
add_filter( ‘bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation’, ‘__return_true’ );

[Chuckie]

Hi. This is not a CSS bit of code. it is for your functions PHP file.

[cranney]

Okay, thanks @ajtruckle. I just used the My Custom Functions plugin to add that line to functions.php and the problem is solved. Thank YOU! Our forum members will be very happy.

Great!
