Great plugin… Need to allow Non-admin to upload media

Hello marketcheck06,

Can you tell me which role is assigned to the users who can’t upload media? I just tested this with a subscriber user and had no problems uploading either Featured Images or attachments with the front-end form.

Thanks a ton for having a look.

It is an EDITOR role failing to upload media.

You are right Featured image, upload attachment works. “Add Media” which allows to upload image/other contents goes in trouble.

Screen failing is most prob this: codex.www.ads-software.com/Media_Add_New_Screen

Just for details: I have deactivated all plugins to naratte down that.. if RDA is deactivated, non-admin user is able to upload files without any issue.

RDA conf is default.. dashboard access is restricted to Administrators.

Thanks !

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin.

I have the exact same issue with the Author role (Or any non-admin for that matter). I have a front-end post management and image upload, and non-admins cannot upload images. (async-upload.php is getting blocked, thus not allowing to upload images.) I wish there was an option to manually allow certain scrips to run from the front-end. I’m sure many others have the same problem.

Thank you

I solved my issue with this. I had to disable the plugin and write my own code.. so i’m not sure this is an appropriate solution for users of this plugin, but nevertheless, i’d thought i’ll post it in case it will be of help to somebody someday.

I took my code from:
codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_init#Example:_Access_Control_with_redirect

And added “async-upload.php” to the exclusion. This is my code:

function restrict_admin_with_redirect() {
	if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) && $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] != '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' && $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] != '/wp-admin/async-upload.php' ) {
		wp_redirect( site_url() ); exit;
	}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'restrict_admin_with_redirect' );
