I’m still setting up my new forum and can’t figure out how to get the “attachments” button to show up. Did I miss a setting somewhere?

Thanks,

Christine

did you give users permissions to upload images, media, and/or files?

I had checked the permissions and just looked again, but don’t see anything about uploading aside from avatars.  However, as admin I should always have all permissions, right?

yes, an sp admin (vice wp admin) would always be able to upload…

if the file uploader plugin is active, you should see permissions… can you verify the file uploader plugin is active?

and maybe share a screenshot from file – components – file uploads…

It looked at my plugins and apparently I only installed the uploads viewer, didn’t realize I needed something else to actually be able to upload.

So I go to the plugins page, and now I have to PAY!

I’m just stunned, on top of $100/year for support I have to pay for plugins.  Without plugins, this is not a usable forum.

Don’t know yet what I’m going to do now.

Christine, did you read the announcement post?  https://simple-press.com/introducing-the-simplepress-store/

as a current gold member, all of our commitments to you are honored… you can still download any plugin or theme while your  current membership is in effect…  on all our store pages, in the footer, it says any applicable discounts are applied at checkout…  if you, as legacy gold member, try to download a plugin, a 100% discount is applied and it will be free…

I read it late last night and also had a look at the membership options.  The gold membership is a little cheaper now, so that buys a few plugins too.

I found the upload plugin on my drive, just hadn’t installed it yet and now everything works fine.  Thanks!
