    Hello, I’m looking to figure out why I can’t add media to my posts. I’ve created a form using this method:

    function share_a_story_post() {
        $settings = array(
            'post_type'             => 'community-story',
            //which post type
            'post_author'           =>  bp_loggedin_user_id(),
            //who will be the author of the submitted post
            'post_status'           => 'publish',
            //how the post should be saved, change it to 'publish' if you want to make the post published automatically
            'current_user_can_post' =>  is_user_logged_in(),
            //who can post
            'show_categories'       => true,
            //whether to show categories list or not, make sure to keep it true
            'allowed_categories'    => /* array( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) */ get_all_category_ids(),
            //array of allowed categories which should be shown, use  get_all_category_ids() if you want to allow all categories
    		'allow_upoad' => true,
        );
     
        $form = bp_new_simple_blog_post_form( 'community story post', $settings );
        //create a Form Instance and register it
    }
    

    The editor doesn’t show any media upload button.

    Hi Brendan,

    Please add the option

    
    
    allow_upload'=> true,
    
    

    to the above setting.

    Hope that helps.

    EDIT:- I see you already have it, I am looking further.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    The problem might be related to upload capability.

    The plugin does add the upload and edit_post cap to users(using user_has_cap filter) if it is a BuddyPress page.

    For non BuddyPress age, you may want to filter on

    
    bsfep_enable_upload_filters
    
    

    and return true for your page.

    For example,

    
    
    add_filter( 'bsfep_enable_upload_filters', '__return_true' );
    
    

    Will do it in all cases(I will suggest avoiding that and enabling it specific to your cases).

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Awesome. Are you suggesting I add it to the page template that calls the form? or should I add it as part of the form setup function?

    
    function share_a_story_post() {
    }

    I’m not certain where to add the filter that you’re suggesting.

    Hi Brendan,
    sorry about that.

    Here is how it works:-

    WordPress needs the user to have ‘upload_files’ and ‘edit_post’ capability to allow user upload and then attach the uploaded media to post.

    Since this is a common thing, The plugin does it if you are using the form on any of the BuddyPress section.

    If you are not using it from BuddyPress section, we need to manually enable it.

    For now, I will suggest putting it in your theme’s functions.php as we need the capability to be updated for ajax upload too.

    Please give a try and let me know what happens.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Adding it to the functions.php seems to work so far.
