A couple of issues

<font _mstmutation=”1″></font>Please don’t drag and drop, it’s useless. Most users today are on mobile. Direct one-click access to the directory works better. Keep it simple, don’t complicate it.

@testovac , I disagree ; yes, many users are on mobile but plenty use laptops and desktops either as well or solely, particularly at work, travelling (trains, buses, planes) so having both options is more user friendly. Certainly the process on my computer is much slower if clicking then selecting rather than finding the file then dragging and dropping. And I have had lots of feedback, particularly from older users about this. It is also the standard way that WordPress operates, with both options. I think the appropriate phrase is “horses for courses”.

Hi @awol

Thanks for your feedback. Next plugin version (1.1.0) will support BuddyPress 12.0, there should be some troubles with 1.0.0 if you’re testing 12.0-beta1 without having the BP Classic plugin active.

I doubt I’ll add a drag & drop control into the regular Activity Post form. Instead we’ll make this Activity Post form evolve to a Activity Block editor and once done, you’ll get the BP Attachments blocks just like you have them into the Post/Page editor.

Hi @imath

Thanks for your response – I tried with the BP Classic plugin active, and I still have the issue with the Attach Media button, just for information.

hi @awol

It’s specific to your theme. I just downloaded/activated it, and it’s adding some specific css rules avoiding the button to be displayed it how it should be.

I believe, just as you kept me inform, you should keep the Theme’s author informed. To me it’s not an issue with BP Attachments but your theme’s issue.

Using the custom CSS control of the customizer, here’s how I made it appear:

Code is below:

#whats-new-form button.dashicons-admin-media {
	width: 40px!important;
}

#whats-new-form button.dashicons-admin-media:before {
    display: block !important;
    content: "\f104" !important;
    z-index:1 !important;
    filter:none !important;
    opacity: 1;
}

Hi @imath,

Thank you for your input – your custom css works so I have implemented it, and I have posted on the Blocksy support here. Hopefully they will have a look at this, and possibly other Buddypress/Blocksy issues that are out there. They are normally very good at dealing with stuff like this. I have certainly found it quite tricky to use the Customiser with BP, with both the existing and beta version of Buddypress, and I always have to write a ton of css to get BP to look as I want; as mentioned in other posts, I can’t get the recommended way to alter BP css to work on my sites, so I end up just using the child theme style.css with loads of !important statements, which I would like to eliminate if at all possible as it frequently causes other problems, particularly with tabs, buttons and inputs. I think this might be a fundamental issue between Blocksy and BP that I have hinted at in the post on their forum, but the theme is so flexible and I am so familiar with it that I am loathe to try and find a new theme.
