Contributor/Writer/Author can't upload media

    Hey guys,

    I have an issue with above named roles not being able to upload media (Editors can). They always get this error when trying:

    File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

    In the plugin I have activated for them:

    delete_posts ; edit_posts_ moderate_comments ; read ; read_private_pages ; read_private_posts ; unfiltered_html ; unfiltered_upload ; upload_files

    With my Hoster I can edit stuff like that in the .htaccess – this is what I have so far (tried php54 as well):

    AddHandler php56-cgi .php
php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value max_input_vars 10000

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . ///index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww-perl.*
RewriteRule .* – [F,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive on

    ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Has anybody got an idea how to fix it?

    Thanks,
    eC

    As editor can upload files I suppose that an issue is not related to the PHP/Apache level.
    It’s enough to add ‘upload_files’ to the role to start upload files under that role in general.
    Try to deactivate all plugins temporally and re-test upload under Author role, for example. Some plugin may set additional restrictions for the upload operations.

    Hey,

    I found the plugin – it is caused by ‘WP User Avatar’. Replaced it with ‘Basic User Avatars’ and it seems to work with that.

    Thanks for your help!

    Cheers,
