    In my case my Contributors(role) need to be able to upload Media, but the button is not present.

    Do you plan to in next version to allow that for contributors?

    In the meantime I’ve been able to successfully Add Media for a contributor with your Frontier-Post but i had to modify the page frontier-add-edit.php and force the Media button to be displayed.

    Line 171: $frontier_media_button = true;
    instead of //$frontier_media_button= current_user_can( ‘frontier_post_can_media’ ) ? current_user_can( ‘frontier_post_can_media’ ) : false;

    Beside having to re-do my modif. when I upgrade, do you see other possible problem?

    Hi,

    It might work to select existing media, but unless another plugin changed something, it should not be possible to upload media for contributors.

    Contributor is a standard role, and this role doea not have the capability upload_files

    Suggest that you change the profile for the users that needs to upload files to Author
