    Hi,

    Currently when a user publish an article and upload an image he can see all his images in the WordPress Media Uploader.
    This is not good for my site as I have installed a Listings Directory Plugin and the users can accidentally delete images attached to their Listings.
    My questions are:
    – Are you planning to have for the BuddyBlog Pro a custom Media Uploader similar to BuddyBoss Theme?
    – Is it possible that when a user delete his article the images of that respective article to be also deleted along with the article? In this way I will avoid having any unused images on the server and prevent user from manually delete the images.

    Thank you
    Cristi

    Hi Cristi,
    Thank you for using BuddyBlog Pro.

    1. We will add the option to disable showing the already uploaded media(by the user), to them. We did it to allow them delete their own media if needed.

    2. At the moment, we don’t have plan to have a custom Media Uploader. We will certainly consider it in future.

    The BuddyBoss media uploader is a hardcoded uploader and can not be used with 3rd party plugins as of now.

    3. The goal of BuddyBlog is limited. We control the front end editing experience. We do not interfere with default WordPress workflow on anything else.
    If you want to have the attachments deleted on post delete, there are many plugins available.

    You may use a plugin such as
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/dx-delete-attached-media/
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoremove-attachments/

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi,
    Thank you for your suggestion regarding the plugins for deleting the media along with deleting the articles.
    I am looking forward to see the option for preventing users to both delete and see their uploaded media.
    Thank you
    Cristi

    I saw a solution to 1 at https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-restrict-media-library-access-to-users-own-uploads-in-wordpress/

     // Limit media library access
      
    add_filter( 'ajax_query_attachments_args', 'wpb_show_current_user_attachments' );
     
    function wpb_show_current_user_attachments( $query ) {
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();
        if ( $user_id && !current_user_can('activate_plugins') && !current_user_can('edit_others_posts
    ') ) {
            $query['author'] = $user_id;
        }
        return $query;
    }

    Hi Tosin,
    Thank you for the post.

    We already have that functionality.

    The request is to disable this ability of BuddyBlog and avoid listing their own media.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi,
    I have managed to change some CSS for the WP Media Uploader.
    It is not a very elegant solution but at least the users can not delete nor see files from there.
    Perhaps when you have time you’ll make a better modification.
    Regards.

    Hi Cristi,
    Thank you.
    We will have the solution in our next update.

    It is just a minor filter to disable the existing feature.

    Hi,
    Do you have an estimation for the next update?
    I would also like to tell you the the Purchased Tab the styling is not similar with the Published one, or is only in my site.
    https://listera.ro/membri/carecenter/blog/purchased/
    https://listera.ro/membri/carecenter/blog/publicate/
    Is it possible to make a quick fix if you send me some CSS Code to insert it in the custom.css file?
    Thank you
    Cristi

    Hi Cristi,

    1. The BuddyBlog Pro update will be available this week with the filter to disable user’s own media.
    2. Please open a new topic about Pay Per post plugin. I have conveyed the issue to team and we will have a fix for this this week too.

    Regards
    Brajesh
