    FileUp is working great when signed in as admin – but not when signed in as author.

    I have set the showto variable – full shortcode below

    [fileup sub=”essentials” single=”true” maxsize=”100″ fadein=”opacity” fixedlocation=”true” showto=”administrator,author”]

    Your plugin is awesome – so I’m sure I’m missing something simple – just can’t find it.

    File Up should work with any user role in existence, including custom user roles and yes, author. There’s nothing in the code that checks for a user’s role during the upload process. The showto attribute just determines who can see the upload form on the page. If they can see the upload form, nothing in the code prevents them from using it.

    Got any more details about the issue?

    Thom –

    Thank you so much for your quick reply. I was looking for some user level permissions within your plugin – but couldn’t find them.

    When you told me that it would work at any user level – I disabled all plugins but yours on the site – and the upload worked fine. By turning them back on one by one – I tracked it to the Ninja Firewall plugin – which specifically blocks uploads by users.

    Should have started with those steps – there are just so many options within your plugin I was a little overwhelmed.

    Super piece of work – very excited to dig in and figure out how everything works. I might have more questions as I go.

    Thanks – hope you have a wonderful day.
