    How do I make Mediapress allow posting without entering any text into the activity post form?

    Hi,
    Thank you for the question.

    MediaPress does not handle posting the form, It is the theme that does. mediaPress attaches its data to theme’s posted data on the form submission.

    The theme needs to allow posting empty activity from client side.

    You can check this with Community Builder(Free or Pro) which allows it. I believe even BuddyBoss theme allows posting in similar manner. All other BuddyPress themes validate the content and will not allow MediaPress to work unless the theme allows it.

    MediaPress does hooks on server side to allow posting empty activity if that activity contains Media.

    So, Please check if the theme is restricting it nor not?

    Regards

    PS:- Which theme are you using?

    I’m only using Hello Elementor theme and Elementor Pro. Is there a code that I can add to allow post without text? Hello Elementor doesn’t have any code.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the reply.

    There is no shortcut or simple solution for me to assist you. Sorry about this.

    If you are using legacy template back, you will need to override buddypress.js and modify it to allow empty content.

    If you are using BP nouveau, you will need to do the same in buddypress-activity-post-form.js

    Regards

    What about adding   in the text space so the person can just upload the media? How can I do that because I think that’s what rtmedia does, but I’m not sure.

    Hi,
    The posting is handled by the theme and not MediaPress. we are simply appending our media ids in cookie and on post update, we check the cookie for the same and update. I will request you to contact the theme author.

    They are better equipped to help you with this.
