    Hi Jeff, I am loving your plugin but am having difficulty with the upload image button.

    First of I’m currently running on my local pc. When logged in as administrator I am able to post front end and upload a picture by using the media button (rich text editor enabled) – the image previews on screen, uploads and looks great. Still logged in as administrator I then submit a new post and try to upload another image via the ‘upload image – choose a file’ option, no image is previewing and after the post is submitted there is no image. In this instance the image has not uploaded to the media files.

    I then try the same logged in as a user with an Author role. Uploading via the media button I return an error ‘you don’t have permission to attach files to this post’, again using the upload image – choose a file gives no preview nor does it upload file. The only area I can even return an error message is using the media button.

    I installed the plugin user role editor thinking that maybe somehow the capability of the Author role had been changed. I went to change the Author role to include uploading media files however Author does already have permission to do that.

    It appears there are 2 issues, firstly the input form from which I’m submitting a post (shortcode [user-submitted-posts]) doesn’t recognise that Author does have the correct permissions and secondly the ‘upload image – choose a file’ doesn’t actually appear to do anything.

    Other than the upload image button and author ability to upload this plugin is doing almost everything I need it too. Any assistance would be great, thanks.

    Thanks for reporting this, I will have to investigate for the next plugin update. If you discover any further clues please feel free to post them on this thread. Thanks again. Also, I assume this is for the free version of the plugin, correct?

    Yes, free version. I’m having another read through of your FAQ’s on this to see if I can figure out any more – unfortunately I am lost when it comes to php! (re: WP-Mix).

    OK so I’ve run through and disabled all my plugins, still the same issue. Still to try with another theme though.

    Have tried with another theme, still no luck.

    The author role if given access to the admin module is able to upload images just as the administrator is.

    Okay, so if I understand correctly image upload is not working for a customized “Author” role that you have set up? If so, it could be in the code used to implement..?

    Nothing customised about the author role, its the standard WP role, just as the administrator role is.

    Okay thanks. I will investigate authors ability to upload files next opportunity. I also will look at the Upload button and see if that is working for authors. I know for sure that it works normally for admins, but with authors there could be a bug. Either way, thank you for the feedback.

    Just to follow-up with this, it seems that WordPress allows only Admins to upload files via the Upload Media button when submitting from the front-end. So anyone can upload files using the File(s) field, but only Admins can do it with the drag-drop “Upload Media” functionality (like in the Media Library).

    I have a site with a front end form where non Admins can upload, from this note https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/116489/14945, I set things up with:

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_truwriter_scripts');

function add_truwriter_scripts() {	 

 	if ( is_page('write') ) { // use on just our special writing page

		 // add media scripts if we are on our wriing page and not an admin
		 // after https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/116489/14945

		if (! is_admin() ) wp_enqueue_media();

 	}
}

    Hi cogdog, thanks for the heads up on that technique, will implement it or similar for the next update. Cheers.

    Hi cogdog,

    I tried the following but it did not work:

    function add_media_scripts() {
	wp_enqueue_media();
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_media_scripts');

    I tried with visitor (not logged in) and Subscriber (logged in), but no Add Media button is displayed. Is there something else that you did to make it work? Thanks.

    Just to follow up with this: the latest version of USP Pro now supports “Add Media” for Subscribers and Contributors. Similar support should be added to the free version in a future update. Thanks to everyone for their feedback.
