[Plugin Role Scoper] author can’t access all images

nevermind.

I ended up writing some code that enables my contributors to do certain actions and I removed role scoper entirely

I want this functionality too! Perhaps that code should be posted here?

If the images are not attached to other posts, you can make them visible by enabling this option:

Roles > Options > Features tab > Content Maintenance > “Non-editors see other users’ unattached uploads”

Why would I want that? I want every user with any kind of edit rights to be able to see all uploads, attached or not.

@katin, here’s the code for it:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'contrib_can_upload', 10 );
function contrib_can_upload( ) {
    $role =& get_role('contributor');
    $role->add_cap('upload_files');
}

it’s for a site I work on, https://thejockosphere.com

we needed contributors to be able to do more than they currently could, so @viper007bond helped me with the code and it works great.

we also added this, so authors can do the same — since authors can’t see “all” uploaded images, only their own.

add_action ('admin_init','author_can_upload', 10 );
function author_can_upload() {
        $role =& get_role('author');
        $role->add_cap('upload_files');
}

which allows authors to upload files and view all uploaded files, both work great.
