Users are unable to upload images to the forum

#1 · August 27, 2024, 9:03 am

I really love this forum, it has a great layout and overall pretty easy to use.

But my users haven’t been able to upload images to the forum at all.

I’ve checked with Themco X Pro support and they said it is related to the plugin.

So what can I check or enable to allow users to upload images to their posts?

Btw, I think this was a free plugin, so I am going to donate as I plan to continue to use it.

Thanks!

Hello, @johnnyscience
Are all required items included in the boot settings?
If you need to upload to a post, there is an addon https://wordpress.org/plugins/toolbox-for-asgaros-forum/

Hello and thanks for your reply!

Ok so I did now install the addon Toolbox plugin

It would be nice if you can include this feature in the original plugin.

After reviewing your forum here, I don’t seem to have the “Upload Files” option within this new forum post – how/where do I enable that for users too?

When you say are “all required items included in the boot settings”

Can you give me more context on what or where I need to check these items to make sure I have the boot settings correct?

How safe from viruses will the users images be?

Do I need to have anything in place to make sure they aren’t uploading any corrupted or bad files?

Thanks!

I am not a plugin developer. I wrote about the settings of the item – loading (There is a separate item in the forum settings).
I think it’s safe to use downloads if you don’t allow downloads of anything other than images.
The standard loader from the forum is enough for me, I can’t say anything about Toolbox add-ons.
