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
CristiHi 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
BrajeshHi,
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
CristiI 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
