Custom user role can't upload media

    I created a custom user role called “Student” based on the role Subscriber. Students should not have permissions to create posts or pages but they are able to add comments. The comments on my site have an “add media” button and a user with this role is able to click it, view the media library, and even insert an already uploaded image to a comment. However, whenever they try to upload an image, they receive an error.

    I have upload_files and unfiltered_upload checked off for the role. Is there something I’m missing?

    Anyone have any advice on this? I really need this functionality working for my site.

    What plugin do you use for comments?

    The site is using a custom plugin we created so the comments can be entered with TinyMCE.

    I did some more investigation of this and I think I know what the problem is but not how to solve it. Basically, I am trying to block users except admins from accessing the dashboard. It seems that this also blocks users from being able to upload images. I’m not sure how to achieve both of these things at once.
