nothing showing up in UGP manager

  • I have frontend upload installed.
    I have the page set up with the form.
    So far so good.

    I have tried to enter 4 posts so far with images.
    Nothing gets uploaded, even though I do get a message back that says
    Your file was successfully uploaded!

    I also tried to enter a post without images– and just got returned to the form page, with no message.

    I go into Manage UGP posts and manage UGP media and there is nothing there.

    So.
    1- First and foremost– How do I get the messages to actually post?
    2- How do categories work into this? How does it know what category I’ve used? Are your categories- the media formats??
    3- If I want the guests to actually pick from a list of categories– ie. concerts, teaching, etc– how would I do that?

    4- I want to encourage posts even without images, I’m assuming in your code somewhere I can change the initial message from “submit a media file”?

    I have made some progress on above issues

    1- Found I used the wrong short code and am now using
    [fu-upload-form form_layout=”post_image”]

    Added a post with an image. And they did load.
    However– turns out they did not load under the UGC anything.

    The post went in under posts, which if fine.
    The image went right into the Library.
    What is interesting, is that in the Library, I can click on view and get the post with the image.

    It now looks like everything has been loaded to the Media-Library. So in Media-Library are my full posts.
    Under posts, only the last one showed up, and the image is not connected to it.

    How do I redirect those posts that show up in Media-Library to Posts so I can evaluate and actually post them?

    And still would love to have the guest select one of my categories to go in with the post.

    1. Glad you made progress, could you check if “Auto-approve registered users files” or “Auto-approve any files” is checked in settings? Any not approved content goes into “Manage UGC” unless you turn on one of these settings. “Manage UGC” is separate for each post type, meaning if you upload a post with images, you would have to approve post and image separately.

    2. Currently categories only apply to posts/custom post types, media files are not supported. Refer to FAQ for details: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/frontend-uploader/faq/ (and update to 0.9.5.2 cause 0.9.5.1 has a bug making category shortcode parameter not working.

    3 You can change the form title with ‘title’ attribute of fu-upload form shortcode. Although, default title for post+image form layout is “Submit a new post”.

    Here’s example default shortcode:
    [fu-upload-form form_layout=”post_image” category=’2′]

    Meaning the default form with post+image layout and the post will get assigned to category with ID 2 (Given this category ID is whitelisted in settings).
